I love my riser. Very comfy and lots of adjustability.
First personal riser, well engineered, well balanced, easy to pick up and work with. Would recommend without hesitation as this piece will be my first and most probably only riser to life. Enjoying recreation archery and this is the perfect riser: well balanced and not too expensive. Glossy black colour is also very neat!
The WNS FX Motive 25" riser is the best recurve riser available at the price. It is top heavy and allows for a perfect balance at full draw with v bar stabilizers or barebow weights. This riser is strong and does not scratch or wear easily. I highly recommend it for any recurve archer!
I was already looking at this riser myself based on reviews everywhere and the store recommended this one too which all but confirmed my choice. This is a beautiful riser that should last you a very long time, and my first impressions of it are great from the weight, feel, and overall look and polish. At the perfect point where spending more is getting you a lot smaller of an increase in quality, would absolutely recommend this if it is within your budget.
It's my first Olympic bow and I wanted one that could handle Olympic draw weight (50lbs).
The bow takes all the attachments you'll need, stabilizer, clicker,plunger and sights. I'm using 38 lb limbs right now and the grip is comfortable even if you have very large hands like me. Just make sure you have the correct brace height. Between 9.5-10.5 inches.
Bow sizing based on archer's height for Olympic Recurve
Olympic Recurve bows typically range in overall size from 66" to 70". Below is a rough guideline for new archers getting started in the sport.
- 5'5" or shorter = 66" bow
- 5'6" to 5'9" = 68" bow
- 5'10" or taller = 70" bow
The Height of a modern Olympic Recurve bow is dictated by a combination of the riser size and the limb size. Combining long limbs with two different size risers will result in two different size bows. The typical Olympic riser size is either 23, 25" and 27".
Bow sizing based on archer's Draw Length for Traditional Takedown
Please note, traditional recurve draw length is typically shorter than compound. If transitioning always scale down at least half an inch for draw length.
For Adults
- 5'5" or shorter = 60" - 62" bow
- 5'6" to 5'9" = 62" - 66" bow
- 5'10" or taller = 66" - 68" plus, bow
These are rough guidelines for new archers so they get the most out of their new traditional equipment. For some takedown bows limb length is not a choice. After some experience you may find you like longer or shorter limbs.
The Height of traditional takedown bows will often be dictated by a combination of the riser size and the limb size. A 58" bow for example can be made up of any combination of limb and riser size that creates an overall length of 58".
Traditional Takedown bows can come in sizes anywhere from 52" all the way up to 70". Bows that are longer in length are typically used in tournament situations while bows shorter in total length are used for hunting.
Age and Experience guideline
- 14 years old or younger = poundage should be the as their age. Example 12 years old should be shooting 12# bow.
- 18 to 14 years old = 16# to 20# depending on body build and height
- Adult: Beginner = under 20#, Intermediate 22# to 28#, Advanced with experience = 30# and up.
