Description
Riser | KINETIC Meos - 21" - ILF
The KINETIC Meos riser is made of a stable aluminium-magnesium alloy, but it is not die-cast as usual, but milled from one piece.
The 21 inch long riser is available in various eye-catching colours, all of which impress with their matt look. The handle in wooden design rounds off the look and at the same time ensures a pleasant feel when held in the hand. Of course, the KINETIC Meos has all the standard sockets for the button, arrow rest and stabiliser. And it also has adjustment options for lateral alignment of the limbs and the tiller.
Universal thanks to ILF plug-in system
The limbs are attached to the riser using the International Limb Fitting System (ILF). They are simply plugged into the worm arm receptacles on the riser and not screwed. This innovative, standardised system allows the use of ILF 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.
