Tbow vs f261

[Coopsdaddy]

Ok like a dummy I sold all my traditional gear but want to give it another go.
Have tom clums series to watch.
These two seem like there always recommended and closely resemble the satori.
Help me pick and also pick a limb to get started.
Thinking a 19 inch riser.
I’m 6 ft 170 and pull 65-70 on my compound.

I don't know the Tbow riser- but it seems fine

I do have a F261 riser and it's very good. I think the weight of it is a good compromise.

Limbs; I would recommend longs and to get a very cheap- sub $100- and light [30-35# at your DL] set for your first go around. Then get a mid range name brand limb in the 45-50#. [ILF limbs are typically rated on a 25" riser and will be much heavier as the riser gets smaller. ]

So many good limbs it's hard to go wrong. I always recommend name brand limbs over the knock offs- WNS, Samick, etc. The WNS C5 an C3 are fantastic for under $200, [on Alt services UK] The caveat to the name brand thing is Nika is a very good limb- sold direct.

In the $300 range, the low end Uuhka limbs are very good.

Tbow and a 40 or 45 pound Trad Tech Black Max limbs for it.

I like my F261, it feels good in the hand and is a nice weight for carrying and shooting.
Currently I only have the limbs it came with, I'm not shooting much these days due to a shoulder injury so haven't looked at upgrading.

I had a 261, I liked the riser but not the grip, once bought a good grip it was a nice riser. I didn’t care for all of the metal that was removed under the grip. I had an older Tbow, sold it and regretted that move. I later bought another newer model with the plastic grip and it is much better quality. One thing about the Tbow is an unlimited amount of available grips. I ended up selling the 261 and kept the Tbow.
One of the differences between the two is the 261 has a lot of sharp edges and the Tbow doesn’t.
