Unless the limb numbering system used by Excalibur to pair the right and left limb has no effect on speed.
If there is a correlation between the limb number and speed than it would make more sense to consider this factor alone if you have a choice from your dealers inventory of the same model.
I however would be open to running a controlled experiment with lets say 3 of each model with matching limb numbers representing the full limb number range Lowest/Midpoint/Highest.
However I would not be surprzed that Excalibur may already be privy to this type of data.
Without knowing exactly how the limb number is determined....but making an educated guess.....
I understand it is a "deflection" number.
My thought is the limbs are placed in a fixture, and something presses against it at a certain force, and the amount of deflection is measured.
IF that is the case (or very similar) then the limb number will certainly effect the speed of the crossbow, and the "black v camo" test would only be meaningful with limbs with the same numbers.
Questions:
Anybody know for certain what the limb number test is?
Could the camo process cause the camo limbs to be ever so slightly weaker?
Do the camo limbs weight more than the black limbs (due to camo coating as newbie suggests) and does that matter for speed?
