ILF - Maximum flexibility!
With the Onyx, the JACKALOPE family gains a new, extraordinary member: a distinctive competition bow with impressive characteristics and interesting contrasts.
The riser is composed of naturally grown rosewood and ultra-modern teknowood, giving it its unmistakable character. Rosewood forms the core and is a heavy, hard wood that gives the grip area something very natural with its exceptionally decorative grain as well as warm tones while the black and white details made of micarta stand in contrast.
The bows and risers are named after the onyx, a strong and protective power stone. It is said to help build emotional and physical strength. The Onyx also protects against negativity and fear, according to an ancient Japanese wisdom: "Fear reaches only as deep as our mind allows it to.
Since ancient times, it has been said that the onyx strengthens intuition and enhances the senses. And who would not like to appear more focused and confident on the parcours or in competitions? Tradition assures us that those who firmly believe in their onyx will achieve everything they want. There could not be a better name for this breathtaking bow.
JACKALOPE paid special attention to the Onyx grip for mounting the limbs. While traditional wooden risers usually only have the possibility to use special screw-on limbs, this bow is different: The Onyx grip is equipped with the ILF system. ILF is short for "International Limb Fitting" system, which is a standardized mount in which the limbs are not screwed to the riser but simply plugged into it. With this system you have full flexibility when choosing your limbs and you are not limited to just one brand.
ILF - Full flexibility with unimagined precision!
JACKALOPE has paid special attention to the Onyx grip for the limb mountings. While traditional wooden riser usually only have the option of using special screw-in limbs, things are different here: the Onyx grip is equipped with the ILF plug-in system. ILF stands for the "International Limb Fitting" system, which is a standardised fitting system where the limbs are not screwed to the riser, but simply plugged in. The mounting block is something special and unique! Made of full metal (aluminium), it is not only extremely stable and precise, but also enables a precise and stable ILF mount on a wooden riser, which is in no way inferior to that on a metal centrepiece.
The tiller is easy to adjust via the tiller screw, which, unlike other ILF mounts, is fitted with an additional ring that fixes the throwing arm so that it has no play when adjusting in an untensioned state. Once the position of the optimum tillers has been found, this setting is fixed with the help of the hexagon socket screw in the tillerscrew. The lateral adjustment of the limbs is now also much more precise and secure, as the lateral grub screws are no longer installed in the wood of the riser, but in the receiver. This means that overtightened screws in the wood or risers that have cracked at this point are a thing of the past.
If you are looking for an ILF mount that offers the stability of a metal riser, then the ILF Top mount from JACKALOPE is certainly the ideal solution!

Als Zughand wird die Hand bezeichnet, welche die Sehne zieht. Das heißt, ein Rechtshandbogen wird in der linken Hand gehalten und mit der rechten Hand ausgezogen.
Die Bestimmung der persönlichen Zughand hat weitaus weniger damit zu tun, ob man Links- oder Rechtshänder ist, als man anfänglich annehmen mag. Es geht vielmehr darum, das dominante Auge zu bestimmen. Mit dem dominanten Auge wird gezielt. Dadurch ergibt sich dann automatisch die Zughand.
Unter dem Begriff des dominanten Auges versteht man das Auge, dessen Sehinformationen alles überlagert. Würde ein Schütze versuchen, mit dem anderen Auge zu zielen, müsste er das dominante Auge zukneifen.
Zur Bestimmung des dominanten Auges gibt es zwei Möglichkeiten: Zum Einen ist es das Auge, dem generell der Vorzug gegeben wird, beispielsweise beim Blick durch den Sucher einer Kamera, durch den Türspion oder ähnlichen Situationen. Zum Anderen gibt es eine kleine Übung, mit der sich das dominante Auge zweifelsfrei bestimmen lässt:
- Die Arme werden ausgestreckt und mit Daumen und Zeigefingern beider Hände ein Dreieck gebildet.
- Durch das Dreieck wird ein kleines Ziel anvisiert, beispielsweise eine Steckdose oder ein Schrankknauf. Dieses Objekt wird fokussiert.
- Die Hände werden jetzt langsam zum Gesicht geführt, ohne, dass das Zielobjekt aus dem Fokus genommen wird.
- Das Dreieck aus Daumen und Zeigefingern wird unwillkürlich zu einer Gesichtshälfte tendieren und in dieser liegt auch das dominante Auge.
Sollten Dominanz von Auge und Hand nicht übereinstimmen, sollte der Bogen trotzdem nach Augendominanz ausgewählt werden. Die Arme lassen sich problemlos auf die neue Zughand umtrainieren, das Auge nicht.
