Riser | KINETIC Sovren - 23"-27" - ILF - Aluminium 6061
The KINETIC Sovren riser is made of a stable aluminium-magnesium alloy. However, the riser is not die-cast as usual, but is milled from one piece. This provides even more stability and strength.
Each of the 23-inch, 25-inch or 27-inch risers is available in different, eye-catching colours, of which the Chameleon and Spectra colours are particularly impressive with their extraordinary play of colours. The colour-matching wooden handle shell rounds off the look and at the same time ensures a pleasant feel when held in the hand. However, the look of the Sovren riser still has one small detail in store: The Tiller screws, the clicker stem, the screws and the threaded bushings are anodised in so-called Oil Slick colour. This makes them shimmer like an oil film in different colours.
Of course, the KINETIC Sovren 6061 has all standard bushings for button, arrow rest and stabiliser. And in addition, there are adjustment possibilities for the lateral alignment of the limbs and the tillers. In addition to the three stabiliser sockets at the front, it also has two sockets at the rear, one under the grip and one on the lower limb pocket.
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.

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.
