My friend is buying a new Magnatec,the only thing he cant decide is which limb to get,ZR200 or XT2000.My pro shop want $80 more for the XT2000.Is it really worth it to get the better limbs?I know there is the speed difference between the two but hes not to worried about speed.What do you guys think?

JPS,

That really depends on the application. Yes, there will be a difference in speed as well as a 3 inch or so difference in axle to axle length and an approximate half inch difference in brace height. Differences in noise and vibration are negligible.

I do feel that the XT2000 limbs are the best made limbs today but, for most archers, they are somewhat of an overkill. Most of the guys that I know only shoot a few times a year and normally shoot arrows that weigh in excess of 6 or 7 grains per pound...which means that the bow doesn't take that much abuse. On the other hand, if the person in question is going to be shooting the bow on a weekly basis at a low grains per pound ratio and with either a heavy draw weight or long draw length then I would definitely suggest the XT2000 limbs as they are built to take more of a beating.

Hope this helps.
