Description
JACKALOPE Zircon - ILF - 66-70" - 16-50 lbs - Recurve Bow
The JACKALOPE Zircon has technical equipment that is otherwise only known from the previous top models among the ILF handles and immediately pleases the eye. It simply offers more than is usual in this price range. Made of a high-strength aluminium-magnesium alloy and painted in exciting colours, the handle not only has an ergonomically shaped handle (plastic handle shell) and standard bushings for the button, arrow rest and stabiliser, but also additional bushings below the limbs mounts, which can be used for additional dampers or the like. In addition, the Zircon centre section has adjustment options for lateral alignment of the limbs.
With its optimum weight of 1038g, it is not too heavy but not too light to allow the shooter to successfully complete longer training sessions and competitions and still give him good feedback and a pleasantly binding feeling when shooting.
The limbs themselves are made of black fibreglass laminate with a core of high-quality maple and macore wood and offer everything you would expect from ILF limbs: good stability, excellent performance and a wide range of pull weights and bow lengths. The limbs are attached using the International Limb Fitting System (ILF), where they are simply inserted into the worm arm mounts on the handle and not screwed. This simple but innovative and standardized system allows the use of different manufacturer's limbs and does not bind the shooter to one manufacturer or the manufacturer of the handle. Thus the limbs can be easily and quickly mounted or exchanged for other draw weights or models.

Important notice: To prevent the till screws, i.e. the screws under which the limbs are inserted, from falling out of the middle pieces when the bow is shipped, they are screwed in particularly deeply. Therefore the screws must be unscrewed approx. 3 turns before the first insertion of the limbs into the middle piece.
Delivery include:
1 x bow with string

Setting the nocking point
The nocking point is a small brass ring that we attach to the string. This marks the correct position of the arrow on the string and helps to quickly find this optimum point again. The arrow is usually nocked under the nocking point. The nocking point itself is of course included in this service and does not need to be ordered separately.
Pre-assembly of attachments
We will assemble all ordered attachments for you (sight, arrow rest, stabiliser, peep sight, string loop, nocking point if required) and prepare the assembly so that you only need a few simple steps to get the bow ready to shoot after receiving the goods.

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.
