Do they balance vertically in the hand for barebow? My Nilo won't even with their weight set. ThanksI shot one lasy year as both barebow and recurve, It's probably the most over engineered thing in archery.
They are quite heavy with out any weights and are very stiff giving quite a "dead" feeling.
The adjustments are easy and the tiller bolts have no locking screws to shake loose.
They are all over the field champs for barebow, but rarely seen in target.
If you can get a second hand one they hold there value (about ?300) so you could sell it on.
They are rare but do crop up from time to time, I'd still have mine but I'm a tart and change gear every 5 mins.
Yeah he shot really well against us in the quarter finals and knocked us outSaw a guy from one of the better squads shooting that thing at BUTC, it's even bigger in real life. Looked and sounded really solid. He seemed to be visibly struggling with the weight by the end of the knockout rounds with all the stabs and the like on it though.
Do you happen to know if this riser will pass through a 12.2cm circle? It's one of the barebow rules we have here. ThanksThe bar across the front does make it window side heavy but as mentioned theres a threaded hole just below the grip that accepts standard weights which allow it to be balanced before adding weight lower down.
I also had a jaeger grip from a hoyt eclipse on mine though I never removed any metal, I can't say I'm aware of the button position causing any problems even when I used the original wooden grip.
One thing most owners have in common is to keep hold of their risers, all who sell seem to express some regret after (including me).
If you are in the UK, I believe that requirement has been dropped for target archery. Maybe one of our rules experts on here can confirm this?Job said:Do you happen to know if this riser will pass through a 12.2cm circle? It's one of the barebow rules we have here. Thanks
If you're in the UK then the number of judges who know the barebow rules well is fairly low so I wouldn't count on them knowing about a recent rules change. I've certainly seen them completely ignore the 4" hoop rule in the past (Hoyt Eclipse with a massive weight on the front of it) and even make up some completely new rules. From the number of people shooting them barebow in the UK I would be surprised if they didn't comply with the 4" hoop rule anyway to be honest with you.If you are in the UK, I believe that requirement has been dropped for target archery.

Damn that is one ugly piece of kit. I want one. Does anyone know where I can get one?Yep. Mick Fisher now holds all the barebow field records in Australia.
Here he is with his Sirius..

One of our members who shot at the Nationals says that Mick claims the improvement in his scores is down to the riser. He broke his own FITA target record by 74 points. which is to say the least quite impressive. CheersI'd also point out that the bow didn't clean up - the archer shooting it did. Clearly the riser works well for them, but it may not work for you.
PerrisArchery is advertising them. CheersDamn that is one ugly piece of kit. I want one. Does anyone know where I can get one?
