Description

Better than ever! - The advancement of a classic.

The new RAGIM Wildcat Plus seems completely different when comparing it to the previous model at the first glance but it still is the same bow, however, it is better now! The design of the bow shows itself with the warmer colours of the riser. This is achieved by working with several layers of exotic wood and makes it seem more elegant than on the Wildcat. But there is more to come: The Wildcat Plus has gotten more slim and finer. All of the corners are now smoother and more rounded.

The difference to the previous model is getting particularly apparent only when touching the bow. The Wildcat Plus is more ergonomic: For one, it is now lighter and RAGIM has also worked the riser in such a way that the correct hand posture is now actively supported by the bow and possible mistakes are prevented when shooting.

The Wildcat Plus riser is equipped with all the threads required for mounting a sight, stabiliser and plunger button. On top of that, it has the patented and innovative RAGIM Tuning System, which allows the archer to adjust the orientation of the limbs by adjusting the limb pockets.

One thing that has not changed with the RAGIM Wildcat Plus is its versatility. It is still well-suited for beginners and can also be used by advanced archers in all age categories without any problems. And so that ever archer can find the fitting bow length, the Wildcat riser is available in 21 or 25 inches and is combined with the fitting fiberglass-reinforced limbs. This results in a bow length of 62-70 inches.

Available as right- and 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.
