I'm looking to buy a new compound and could use some knowledge between the two.What type is more forgiving for accuracy?Which one is more easily tuned?I'm a beginner and can use all the help I can get.Thankyou

GUNS AND KNOWLEDGE ARE THE BEST PROTECTION AGAINST TERRORISM

Go to Huntersfriend.com and read up on bow selection. It helped me a lot. Good luck!

The kind of limbs doesnt really have anything to do with fogivness. The main reason the split limb was designed is to reduce weight. The things on a bow that will make it more forgiving are brace height and axle to axle length. The longer the brace height the faster the arrow getts off the string and rest. The longer the bow the more stable it is. I wouldnt compare split limbs to solid limbs. Neither really has an advantage.

I have to go with Ky_Bowhunter I have both types and can't say one is any better than the other . I can't hit anything with either one . The split limb is just a bit faster but that would vary depending on what bows you compared .

A solid limb I beleive has a tendency to torque at the limb tips more so than split limbs at full draw so in theory a split limb bow will not be effected at the shot by hand torque as much as a solid limb bow. For the adverage hunter I don't think you would even notice it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

The longer brace hieght is not as fast, but more forgiving, a shorter brace height tends to be faster but less foregiving,(the distanse from the string to the riser handle launch). A long , axle to axle bow is more forgiving also. It seems to be the trend, that split limbs are going out as fast as they came in, everyone seems to be ,or has plans to go back to solid limbs. I have a bows with solid and a new split limb bow, and don't really notice any difference.

The quality on the newer bows is so good now I don't think it matters on way or another. Just depends on what you think looks better. They both work great in my opinion. I personally like solid limbs, but if I shot a bow I liked with split limbs I would get it.

THE SPLIT LIMB VS SOLID HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PREFORMANCE. JUST WHAT YOU LIKE AS FOR AS THE LOOKS.
