I'm new to the sport and on an impulse purchased a W&W black wolf as my first bow..all that carbon was too luring. Firstly I will say the riser is excellent, finish is spot on,it looks and feels quality, before my purchase I had read many reviews and was aware the Rcx 17 riser in this kit is Chinese made, mine is of the quality and finish the reviews had reported. To my surprise when first assembling the bow there is the clear made in China print on the limbs, this suprised me as all the posts and reviews on this bow had stated the limbs where Korean and of usual W&W quality. I'm no expert or bower, but a close look at the finish of the limbs left me very disappointed. First there is severel milky blemishes on the limbs finish, on one you can make out a fingerprint. Second the limb tips are very poorly finished, The limb tips are a different shape to each other one is noticeably longer and thinner than the other, the string grooves are uneven and not square. All in all they look very "backyard made" .I have a set of lower poundage Kaya k1 limbs I bought second hand with the bow for backyard use, and the kaya k1 finish on the limb tips is what you would expect and so much better than the W&W. Even the fork for the tiller bolts is not as well finished as the entry level kayas. Considering these limbs would retail for around $400( LAS has W&W made Carbon wood limbs that look pretty much the same for $399) I am surprised W&W with the reputation they have would allow for this drop in quality standards. Hopefully they are replaced by the retailer and this is an isolated case, but in future I will be nervous about W&W limbs that come out of China.
