Historical Context & Archery Lore
The recurve bow has been a pinnacle of engineering for centuries, famously used by horse archers of the East and later adapted for modern competition. Ragim, based in Italy, continues this legacy by blending traditional woodworking with modern lamination techniques. The Impala series has become a staple in European archery clubs due to its reliability and the "Italian flair" present in the wood selection, proving that high-performance equipment can also be a work of art.
Maintenance & Safety Guide
To ensure your riser remains in top condition and serves you for years, follow these simple steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the wood with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid using chemical cleaners or soaking the riser in water.
- Storage: Store the riser in a dry place at room temperature. Do not leave it in a hot car or near a radiator, as extreme heat can damage the laminates.
- Mounting: When attaching limbs, ensure the bolts are snug (approx. 10-15 Nm) but do not over-tighten, as this could strip the threads or crack the wood.
- Safety Warning: Never "dry fire" the bow (releasing the string without an arrow). The massive energy release can shatter the riser and limbs, potentially causing serious injury.
Complete your bow by adding the matching Ragim Impala Limbs (SKU 10203), a suitable string, and an arrow rest. We also recommend a high-quality bow stringer to safely assemble your bow without twisting the limbs.
