This is a controversial topic, but not everybody has the possibility to buy a brand vs a replica. I am comparing a 17" Tempest with a 19" Tbow Tempest clone and this is my opinion FINISH Tempest - great. Tbow - the paint is scratching easy ILF system Tempest is special- Tbow - they copied the tillering bolt system and the bow is using a normal LLA system instead the plates. It is functional on its own HANDLE Tempest - great fit Tbow - the grip is too wide. The custom Tempest grip is not fitting (Tbow riser is wider) but with a rasp and sand paper I made it to fit me. OVERALL HANDLING Tempest Great - Tbow - decent(after mods) I shoot both off the shelf: Tempest came with a custom shelf & side plate - not by DDD Tbow custom shelf & side plate by DDD On Tempest I have the HEX 6.5 longs, on Tbow I have SF Ultimate Pro. This is my opinion regarding this riser. Take it as it is. PS Tbow takes the same string length as the Satori. An AMO-4" string will be too short. Tempest and the frontal bridge makes for a very easy to cary in the woods bow - as easy to cary as the old Gamemaster2. The limbs that came with the Tbow were rubbish - they went in the garbage bean.

Just for the sake of it, I wanted to try the Nika limbs - the limbs using a similar Uukha technology. I received the limbs and fit and finish is almost perfect - a slight "imperfection" : small logo is not quite centred on one of the limbs but it is minor. Next to it it's the MK Vera meds, #44@28" on 25" riser - both set at #50@28" on 19" riser. These will be the limbs I will compare to - years ago I did a head-to-head between MK Vera and Samick ExBF and the MK Vera were 1-2fps slower. The bow looks good and it shoots as good as expected. When I will have time I will do a full review and compare them. $270 was the price for the limbs - Nika N3 Progress They load a tad more than a conventional limb in the beginning and they shoot a 10gr arrow with authority - I will chrono them later. The Gobi are maxed out (as mark) at #45@28” on 19” riser. The SX50 are maxed out at #40 on 25” riser. The N3 Progress have 55% carbon content and up to #50@28" on 25" riser. They didn't have above #44 in this configuration - small logo - when I bought them. I want limbs in weights at least #50@28" on 19" and below risers and these were the single as option in this design without spending above $700.
