Can't make them fit..

Good info so far. Thanks. Looks like they must have made the change partway thru the mods that created the limited run of 350 bows

The space is how Excalibur wants all the current bows. If you get new limbs, you get new hardware and you end up with the space between the recoil brackets and the limbs. I'm going to hazard a guess that they'd be happy to send you the hardware with or without a limb repair.

Boo if you had to pick a setup for your bow would you prefer the newer hardware with the space in the limb strap or the airbrake setup? I have a 350LE with airbrakes but I want whatever is best for my bow.

It went against my grain, but i used the new hardware with a couple of my bows. I will not covert all my bows though.
Speaking to Danny Miller, he's been shooting his bows without the recoil plates with no apparent effect. That we both knew.
While I know my answer is pretty non-committal, my resistance is probably the rebel in me.
