SET RAGIM Matrix Evo Junior - 48-58 Inch - 12-30 lbs - Take Down Recurve Bow
The new RAGIM Matrix Evo Junior is sturdy and lightweight and remains the best choice for beginners even in the latest generation. Most noticeable externally is the new color scheme RAGIM has chosen. The wood is no longer dark gray, but looks much more natural in its new brown tones. Only at second glance does it become apparent that the material of the centerpiece has also changed. Whereas solid wood was previously used, RAGIM now uses Technowood, a modern, high-strength combination of several layers of wood and epoxy resin.
The grip has been designed to optimally support the archer's hand and automatically guide it into the correct position. This allows the archer to avoid mistakes in the first place and to learn archery more easily.
Technically, the RAGIM Matrix Evo Junior centerpiece (except 15 inches) is equipped with all threaded inserts necessary for mounting a sight, stabilizer and buttons. It also features the patented, innovative RAGIM Tuning System, which allows the archer to adjust the alignment of the limbs simply by adjusting the limb mounts.
And to ensure that every junior archer finds his or her appropriate bow length, the Matrix Evo centerpiece is available in 15 or 19 inches and is combined with matching fiberglass-reinforced limbs in white or black. This results in a bow length of 48, 54 or 58 inches.

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.

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.
