Sold mine to go back to my bamboo limbs. Better feel to me with the Boo limbs and to the eye they seemed as quick if not a little quicker. Much more accurate for me too. Did not notice that they were smoother, just different feeling.

Limbow in what way were they more accurate--were they the same weight as the bamboo limbs?

I bought Kevin's (Limbow's) foam/carbon Dakota limbs from him. Kevin is not a fan of foam core limbs for some reason -- his loss, my gain. I love those limbs he sold me and think they are very smooth and fast. I have Morrison actionboo limbs too. They are very good, but I like the foam core limbs better. I agree completely with what Dean wrote, except that I will continue to shoot the actionboo limbs I already own. I totally respect Kevin and think he is a great guy, but he and I will just have to disagree on this one. It's nice that everyone has different tastes. That diversity adds variety to life.

Much more quiter IMO. I don't even need string silencers on my foam cores.

Hard to say why they were more accurate(boo limbs) for me. Maybe wood is more consistent than foam?? I found the foam limbs to be squirrelly on a occasion when it comes to accuracy. The foam/carbon were identical in weight and length as my Boo limbs. As Allan pointed out, having the option to choose for yourself is the spice of life! I suggest you give both a fair shake and see for yourself. Good luck!

I'm with you on this limbow. I had a Cheyenne with the foam core limbs. I always felt they  were kind of "soft" feeling. They were smooth, not doubt about it. But they felt a little noodley...is that a word?

I had the foam core limbs on the Shawnee and the Cheyenne.  I liked them.  They are fast and smooth and quiet.  I'm not sold on them being remarkably better than bamboo.  I'd shoot them in a heart beat and really would like a set for my ILF riser but you're not going from rags to riches here.  Don't expect miracles.  If you want the hottest thing going - fine - they can't be beat IMHO.  I doubt they are going to rewrite the book and make boo obsolete though.  If Morrison wanted to sell more foam limbs he shouldn't have made such a great bamboo limb - again JMHO.
