Riser | JACKALOPE Zircon - Explorer - 19 inch - ILF
The Zircon EXPLORER centerpiece is the next-level Riser from Jackalope Archery. The slightly shorter and lighter Riser, in combination with the C20 or C55 ILF limbs, makes a great hunting recurve with a perfect balance of shooting comfort and excellent throwing performance.
Made from CNC-machined aluminum-magnesium alloy, the 19-inch Riser features much softer, more curved lines than the other Zircon models. The design of the Riser is deliberately kept slim to allow for optimal, i.e. neutral, weight distribution and to achieve an ideal balance at the pivot point with a perfect pressure point when shooting. The slim shape is also the result of a balanced geometry that allows fast shots and is absolutely forgiving. Incidentally, the slim handle made of Dymondwood also fits perfectly in smaller hands. Finally, the material of the Riser guarantees high torsional rigidity and does not allow vibrations and hand shock.
Equipped with sockets for stabilizers, button, arrow rest and sight, the Zircon Explorer Riser is technically already well equipped, but also has a removable shelf made of aluminum, fixable Tiller screws and a lateral adjustability of the limb mountings.

ILF-System - Innovative and flexible
The limbs themselves are attached to the Riser using the International Limb Fitting System (ILF). They are simply inserted into the worm arm mounts on the Riser and not screwed. This innovative, standardized system allows the use of plug-in limbs from different manufacturers and does not tie the shooter to one manufacturer or the manufacturer of the Riser. Thus, the limbs can be easily and quickly mounted or exchanged for other draw weights or models.

Right-handed or left-handed?
Determination of the draw hand
The draw hand is the hand that pulls the string. This means that a right-handed bow is held in the left hand and drawn with the right hand.
Determining your personal draw hand has far less to do with whether you are left-handed or right-handed than you might initially assume. It is much more about determining the dominant eye. The dominant eye is used for aiming. This then automatically results in the draw hand.
The term dominant eye refers to the eye whose visual information is superimposed on everything. If a shooter tried to aim with the other eye, he would have to close the dominant eye.
There are two ways of determining the dominant eye: On the one hand, it is the eye that is generally favoured, for example when looking through the viewfinder of a camera, through the peephole or similar situations. On the other hand, there is a small exercise that can be used to determine the dominant eye beyond doubt:
- The arms are stretched out and a triangle is formed with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands.
- A small target is aimed at through the triangle, for example a socket or a cupboard knob. Focus on this object.
- The hands are now slowly brought towards the face without taking the target object out of focus.
- The triangle of thumb and index fingers will involuntarily tend towards one side of the face and this is where the dominant eye is located.
If the dominance of the eye and hand do not match, the bow should still be selected according to eye dominance. The arms can be easily retrained for the new draw hand, but not the eye.
