Samick Polaris Bow’s Detail Discussion
Quality Wooden Riser
The riser of the Samick Polaris bow is visually very appealing. It made of different kind of woods like walnut, white oak, olive diamond wood or hard maple laminations. The stripes of brown and beige lumber and a red one in the middle in the riser brings the aesthetical looks in it.
The riser is equipped with a cut past the center with a crown arrow shelf. A shelf that’s cut past the center of riser helps to erase the effects of what’s called the archer’s paradox. On a cut-past center, the arrow sits in an angel with the string and because of this angel string push the arrows forward.
Besides the forward speed, there is a side-flex which found due to a little force created by a string if the angle between the center and string increase, the arrow flex also increasing in the same ration which is not acceptable for accurate shooting.
So with the shelf with a cut past center, will help you to get the angle pretty close to zero, yielding better efficiency.
The riser also come up with the predrilled brush bushing which allows you to set stabilizer, quiver/sight and or plunger.
