The FiberBow is the lightest carbon fibre handle on the market today and a proven winner on the International circuit both in Target and Field Archery.
After months of waiting Andrew gets his hands on a LH FiberBow:- details
CURRENT STOCK: 16/7/08
Right Hand: Red/Black and Matt Black
Left Hand: Black Gloss
Custom paint jobs (RH/LH): If you a have a particular design FiberBow can now do special custom colours and designs to order the costs depend on the complexitity of the artwork, please contact us for more details.
All FiberBows supplied by us now come with wooden grip as standard.
**Now over 1800 risers sold worldwide, quite a considerable achievement for a new innovative product in such a short time**
The bow is of a unique patented construction and it's strength has been tested and certified well beyond the stresses expected when shooting the bow.
The FiberBow is totally unique in that it is a quality tournament riser constructed out of carbon fibre with no internal bolstering. It is not just made out of carbon fibre because it might be flavour of the month, it really does shoot and feel different. Weighing in at just under 600grams (at least half the weight of most quality metal risers and still 590grams lighter than the Win & Win Inno) it is very light in the hand, yet the new unibonding and layered carbon construction makes it very strong.
The lack of dead weight also provides more options with regards to stabiliser balance, feel and most importantly bow control even on very windy days - contrary to what some would like you to believe.
The FiberBow is also a good option for archers of all abilities who find (or do not realise) that the weight of a conventional risers is hampering their archery or causing physical problems with their bow shoulder.
Arrow rests: Most popular stick on rests will fit with the exception of the Beiter rest as the base is too deep, we suggest the FiberBow (comming soon) Spiga ZT stick on, ARE 105 or the Cartel Flipper but if you are unsure please ask. Currently there is not a wrap round magnetic rest that fits.
Plunger/Burger buttons: The Beiter button that fits the bow (with stick on rest) is model PL6527 5/16th-24 : Length 21.5mm to 27mm. We recommend the Beiter or Shibuya DX.
ILF limb pockets: The handle has international fit limb pockets (accepts all manufacturers products with this fitting i.e Hoyt, Win & Win, Samick) which are factory aligned electronically and finished off by hand for accurate limb centre fit and adjustable for weight and tiller.
Cost options: Limb alignment adjustment bolt .Stainless steel limb bolt with 5/16th bushing & Barebow weight Kit, currently special order items please call for timescales and prices.
The structure
The FiberBow 5.99 is manufactured using Full Total Carbon. The hollow tubular carbon structure is manufactured using unidirectional layers of carbon fibre to their best advantage. The carbon fibre is intrinsic to the design and is not just an outer skin covering an internal structure, which allows FiberBow to produce a strong, light, efficient and good-looking riser.
Vibration dispersion & greater accuracy
On a bow, the vibrations produced by the limbs propagate to the riser and then to the stabilisation. If by design these vibrations are also dispersed and dampened through the riser the result is a very quiet shot. It also means that less energy is dispersed in sound, that is, more energy goes in the arrow’s speed! Tests have shown that you may get up to 3-4% more arrow speed compared to a CNC riser.
After the shot, you always have a period of time where the entire bow vibrates, even if it is well stabilised and dampened. By using carbon fibres this period of vibration is surprisingly short reducing the need for over dampening of the stabilisation.
When using conventional riser materials such as aluminium it has been found that a heavier draw weight requires more stabilisation which means longer rods more weight and dampening. For many archers this results in a bow that cannot be fully stabilised because the optimum weight and overall length of the system is too much for the archer.
With a lighter riser, which also reduces vibrations, the archer has more options when it comes to stabilisation by being able to place less weight and dampening where it works best.
At this point it is important to stress that here we are talking about a light bow not an unstable bow. Only the total weight of the bow is reduced not the stability, in fact by allowing weight to be removed from the stabilisation the bows stability is improved. For many archers the biggest benefit seen by the reducing the weight and stresses on the bow arm, is that the archer can focus more on the shot rather than trying to keep the bow arm up and extended. Resulting better control of the shot, less physical fatigue towards the end of a tournament or days shooting and greater accuracy.
