Here are a few pictures of limbs made for my Bear takedown by Jim Gainey of Black Creek bows.

These limbs are #3s. He just finished a form to make #1s. You can use the fastflite strings on these limbs.

I shot these thru a chrono today. The bow had a dacron string. I shot two different weight arrows, one was 9.8 gr/lb and the other was 11.4 gr/lb.
The 9.8 arrow shot 173 fps and the 11.4 arrow shot 164 fps.
This is about 7-8 fps faster than my original Bear limbs using the same string. I did not try using a Fastflite string. I would guess that if I had used a Fastflite string the speed would be about 180 and 170 using the same two arrows. I will try a Fastflite string and shoot 8gr/lb to see what they will do. I expect that combo will get about 190 fps or so.
Jim's prices might be the lowest of any after market limb. His wait time is very short too! I saw another set he is making for another customer, these are clear glass limbs using zebrawood under the glass. They are going to look very nice. I will try to post pictures of them when he is finished.

Bear limbs set beside the Black Creek limbs to compare the shape. The Black Creek limbs have the Yellow sting.

Those are nice.That's pretty good speed too.I would personally put a FF string on.Every bow I've used them on was quieter and handled better.probably a few FPS faster too.
