Changing limbs... Just one or needs to be a pair?

Post by Big45 »

Hey Fella's

Ive been shooting arrows monthly through my Matrix BD 380 for a couple years now and its been problem free. I ordered a set of replacement limbs instead of a backup bow for some simplicity. If I have a limb failure sometime in the future, do I need to replace both limbs or can I just replace the limb with the issue?

Just a side note if its important both my replacement limbs are marked with a 62 and I have no idea what the limbs currently on my bow are marked with.

Unless the numbers are the same, replace both :thumbup:

If the numbers happen to be the same, buy a lottery ticket and then replace both. And keep the not broken one as your emergency spare.

The same, or 0.5 from each other. But yeah, replace both and then the unbroken one is your emergency spare as long as the number is 0.5 from the one on the opposite side. Don't put a 66 with a 62, not even in an emergency.
