Description

Beginner´s bow in new shape and color

The new Matrix Evo riser is simple as well as robust and is still the best choice for beginners in the new generation. First of all, the new striking color scheme, which RAGIM has chosen. The wood is no longer red-brown, but appears much more modern in the new dark grey version. Only at second glance does it become apparent that the shape has also changed slightly. Some edges are now noticeably softer and feel better to the touch.

The handle of the Matrix Evo has also been redesigned and shaped even better. It now fits better in the hand and actively supports the archer to adopt the correct hand position and thus avoid possible mistakes when shooting.

From a technical point of view, the Matrix Evo riser is equipped with all thread inserts necessary for mounting a sight, stabilizer and button. In addition, it is equipped with the patented, innovative RAGIM Tuning System, which enables the archer to adapt the alignment of the limbs simply by adjusting the limb mounts. (see picture above)

And so that every shooter finds the right bow length, the Matrix Evo riser is available in 21 or 25 inches and is combined with matching fiberglass-reinforced limbs in white or black. This results in a bow length between 62 and 70 inches.

Available as a right- or left-handed model.

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.

Which bow length and which draw weight suits me?

Our recommendation for the bow length:

Body height / bow length:

  • under 120cm: 54 inches
  • 121-135cm: 58 inches
  • 136-150cm: 62 inches
  • 151-160cm: 64 inches
  • 161-167cm: 66 inches
  • 168-175cm: 68 inches
  • from 176cm: 70 inches

The basic principle is:
It is better to choose a slightly longer bow, as this is more forgiving of mistakes in shooting technique.

 

Our recommendation for the draw weight:

Draw weight for men:

  • 14-20 lbs. for youngsters up to 12 years of age
  • 20-28 lbs. for infrequent shooters
  • 28-32 lbs. for sporty men
  • 32-40 lbs. for active athletes

Draw weight for women:

  • 10-16 lbs. for young people up to 12 years of age
  • 16-24 lbs. for infrequent athletes
  • 24-28 lbs. for athletic women
  • 28-34 lbs. for active sportswomen

In general:
Girls tend to be 2 lbs less than boys.
Athletic, strong children tend to weigh 2-4 lbs more than petite children.
