TimberGhost G3 Super Static Limb Review
For Pics: See Thread titled ‘TimberGhost Bows’ and/or the new TimberGhost website
Kent Roberts of TimberGhost Traditional Archery has recently released his significantly redesigned static tip limb. Considerable contemplation, research, several advanced layouts and prototypes were required to satisfy his elevated expectations.
My own previous experience with the previous static tip TimberGhost has been quite grand and has served me exceedingly well in the field. I was completely satisfied and not entertaining the possibility of an improved overall performer. The possibility of noticeably enhancing the current TimberGhost’s performance and stability, as proposed by Kent, did in fact peak my subliminal interest. Kent sent me his approved G3SS limb design and I have had a couple of months of ample opportunity to run a couple of thousand arrows thru the TimberGhost with G3 Super Static limbs.
Hopefully, the review will be a compendium of the whole experience.
The subject bow is a 13” phenolic riser with G3SS long limbs. Bow has a 60” AMO…50@28…Personal draw..28”s.,,,BH…7 1/8…Note: Due to the aggressive static tips, this bow strings to the length of a standard 56” AMO recurve.
Arrow utilized: Victory HV350…29 ¼”…100 gn isert…200 gn tip…563 gn total
>Aesthetically: Both attractive and unique; The limb configuration has turned many heads and attracted numerous inquiries at the most recently attended events.
>Draw Cycle: The draw-cycle has been designed to place the smoothest section farther out the draw length where it has greater effect on the ergonomic movement of the archer. The initial preload was merely noticeable during the first three sessions with the bow. The draw weight increases only 1.5#’s/inch during the last three inches to 28’s. Overall, after acclimation, the draw cycle currently perceived is smooth yet, the lightened draw wt increase nearing full draw remains most appreciated. Note: The decreased string angle, due to the super static tips, provided much comfort and absolutely no finger pinch.
>Torsional Stability: Advanced carbon layup construction provides exceptional rock solid torsional stiffness and significantly improved levels of stored energy
>Velocity: Quite visibly faster than the original TG Static Tip, which was a respectable shooter its own right. Bow shoots quite hard and the extreme hi-end chroni results may be provided by bowyer Kent Roberts.
>Accuracy: Forgiving and it is quite nice for me to be able to group well at 40 yards with a shorter bow. My perception was that this advanced shortened strung bow shot with the accuracy of a quality strung 60” standard recurve.
>Volume/Hand Shock/Vibration: Other super statics that I have experienced required much taming to meet personal hunting requirements. Often had to utilize both limbsavers and string slap absorbers just below the string grooves. The TG with G3SS limbs exhibits no perceived hand shock and required no hint of the desire to install limbsavers nor string slap absorbers. This setup is the quietest recurve setup that I have run.
The TimberGhost with new G3 Super Static Limbs has awakened me, that by the acquisition of the G3SS limbs, my confidence level in the field has been elevated. Perhaps this fall will be the year that the long awaited coveted opportunity presents itself to test that confidence. It is invaluable to easily experience the enhancements versus reading about them on paper.
Note: A BOTH OUTSTANDING AND APLLICABLE NEW OFFERING
