Limb

A limb is an elastic component attached to both the upper and lower ends of the bow. It generates the stored energy (elastic force) when the bow is drawn and provides the power that launches the arrow.
Although it may look like a simple elongated plate, it is actually a high-performance piece of sports engineering that determines all shooting characteristics—strength, elasticity, recoil, torsion resistance, and vibration control.

In short, the limb is the engine of the bow.
How cleanly the archer draws and releases the string, and how stable and fast the arrow flies, are all greatly influenced by the limb’s performance.

    [LIMB] FUNCTION AND ROLE OF THE LIMB

    The limbs are elastic bow arms connected to the upper and lower parts of the riser.
    When the archer draws the bow, they store energy and generate the force (rebound power) that propels the arrow forward at the moment of release.
    They produce the majority of the bow’s energy and are key componen...

    [LIMB] LIMB & RISER CENTER ADJUSTMENT

    Limb setting is the process of adjusting the bow so that the string, limbs, and riser are precisely aligned.
    If the limbs are twisted to the left or right, or if they are off the string’s centerline, the arrow may kick to one side and grouping can become inconsistent.
    When properly set, the strin...

    [LIMB] TILLER ADJUSTMENT

    Tiller refers to the difference in distance from the bowstring to the upper limb and the lower limb.
    When viewed from the side, it is measured by checking the length from the string to the point where it meets each limb.
    It is the most basic setting used to balance the bow vertically between the ...
