Lightning-fast, weatherproof, and whisper-quiet—these limbs are built for archers who want modern performance without babying their gear.
The Adam Archery 3K Carbon Limbs marry cutting-edge materials with classic recurve geometry, delivering speed, stability, and consistency whether you’re shooting under a blazing sun or a drizzly treeline. Tough enough for the field, refined enough for the range—these limbs don’t flinch.
ILF Takedown System: Built on the industry-standard ILF (International Limb Fitting) platform, these limbs offer broad compatibility and easy tuning with any ILF riser. Drop them in, fine-tune your setup, and get shooting—simple, clean, and endlessly adaptable.
Limbs: By encasing a resilient foam core with multiple layers of 3K carbon, Adam Archery has engineered limbs that are lighter, stiffer, and more resistant to environmental conditions than traditional wood-core designs.
- Core: Dual-layer foamcore for durability, consistency, and all-weather reliability
- Backing & Face: Six layers of lightweight 3K carbon for superior stiffness and energy return
- Noise Reduction: Red foam backing helps dampen vibration, making these limbs noticeably quieter than wood
- Design: Increased recurve profile for improved speed and performance
- Tips: Reinforced limb tips compatible with modern high-performance bowstrings
The result? A smooth draw, crisp cast, and reliable performance shot after shot, season after season.

Bow stringer not included. A bow stringer is recommended for stringing any recurve bow or longbow. Stringing a bow without a bow stringer, or stringing it backwards will void a bow's warranty. Click here to see our Bow Stringers. It is recommended to unstring your bow if you do not plan to be shooting more than week. Store your bow on its side, or hanging vertically from a peg. Never rest the bow on the lower tip for extended periods of time. Never dry fire the bow (shooting without an arrow).
Minimum Arrow Weight - Do not shoot an arrow weighing less than eight grains for every pound of peak draw weight. For example: If your bow's peak weight is 40 pounds at your 30" draw length, do not shoot an arrow weighing less than 320 grains total arrow weight (40# x 8 gpp = 320 grains). Shooting an arrow below eight grains per pound (gpp) can cause damage to your bow similar to dry firing and possible injury to the shooter or others nearby. Damage caused by shooting an arrow that is too light will damage the bow and will not be covered under warranty by 3Rivers Archery or bow manufacturer.
