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 handle area is made of naturally grown rosewood and highly stable micarta, 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!

Characteristics
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.
