what Limb deflection to ask for?

Post by MickB »

I am probably about to use up my newb tolerance points flooding the forum with dumb questions, but I was hoping someone could explain the limb deflection to ask Excalibur for. Getting some spares for a blackout 380 or factory seconds. Thought I read a thread here somewhere back for high deflection numbers in the non black types for highest velocity aka closest to advertised velocity? Or do I have it wrong?

I have found that my 58's are faster than my 50's by about 5-6 feet per second..

The numbers aren’t important. As long as they have the same number , +/- 0.5# you’re good.

Since the values aren’t indicative of a poundage, they are arbitrary. I have some for my M330 that read 114.5 and some for my blackout that say 55.

If ordering limbs, just ask for the hottest matched set they have.
