Limbs are another significant component of our product. Limbs are cut from engineered composite plates on two state-of-the-art Flow Waterjet machines. The limb plates are uniquely engineered to meet the demands of our product, joining various combinations of composite materials and engineered resins. The waterjet cutting process enables precise cutting tolerances for consistent quality along with quick changeovers for various models. The waterjets use needle-like streams of 60,000 psi water carrying garnet sand to cut components according to a vector-defined computerized pattern.
SE Limbs
Everywhere you look, thin is in. The race is on to maximize performance while minimizing size. The revolutionary SE limbs delivers both. SE limbs give all the Reezen, HyperLite, DXT, Drenalin and Drenalin LD a distinctive sleek profile and numbers that turn heads. Cycle tests show that Slimb limbs last twice as along as many conventional limbs.
Once again, less is more. Mathews revolutionary SE4 Composite SlimLimbs represent yet another industry first. Thanks to our proprietory SE4 Composite material, the limbs on the latest Mathews are dramatically thinner, yet subsequently more durable. Thin is in!
V-LOCK Zero Tolerance Limb Cup System (Patent 2003)
The “V-LOCK”™ limb cup system forces the bow limb into very positive and consistent alignment where it is attached to the bow handle. The result is consistent bow performance in terms of accuracy and an increased confidence level of the archer.
Parallel Limb Design
In 1996 Mathews introduced the Signature which featured a proportionately longer riser and shorter, more parallel limbs. Because the are more parallel, the vibration and recoil generated by each canceled. Since 1996, Mathews bow models have featured limbs that continue to become more and more parallel. In time other bow manufactures start to copy this revolutionary design concept first developed by Mathews.
Quad VLOCK Limbs:
Extremely Durable and Longer Lasting
Locking mechanisms on typical limbs merely set the limb in the adjoining limb pocket or attach the limb to the riser by a screw. The VLOCK limb system; however, takes the end of the limb; which resembles a V, and pushes the limb into the VLOCK area so that the end of the limb is perfectly aligned every time under pressure. The quad limbs also feature a reverse locking mechanism that keeps the limbs securely locked in place. This double-locking limb system locks the limb securely into a zero tolerance position.
Today’s bows have gotten so parallel that some bow presses actually can strain the limb and pull on the socket. The reverse lock prevents this from happening making the most durable marriage of both limb and riser.
Longer bending surfaces than typically split limbs mean the new Quad VLock Limbs are extremely durable and longer lasting. The Quad VLock limbs cycle (shoot) longer because the pressure is spread out over a larger surface area, meaning per cubic inch there is less stress on the limb.
