Border Archery has been building bows at Mellerstain in the Scottish Borders since the 1970s, and its HEX limbs are the odd ones out in target archery: a deeply recurved, wood and carbon composite profile that keeps stored energy high while the draw stays civil past 30 inches. The workshop offers HEX profiles in ILF fittings as well as its own risers, and the shop list changes as batches come off the forms rather than by catalogue season.
This is a small-batch maker, so the appeal is a limb that behaves differently from mainstream Korean foam cores, particularly for long draw archers and barebow shooters who value string angle. The trade is patience. Lead times can stretch, stock lists arrive by email, and buyers outside the United Kingdom carry shipping and customs on top of the price. Archers who want next day replacement should look elsewhere.
