Looks like Topoint released two new bows, the Endeavour (cheaper than this) and Aerodyn (more expensive than this). I'd love to see how they feel compared to the Unison
Thanks for this review. I've been shooting recurve for year and a half with a club bow. I just decided to buy my own recurve and this is the riser I chose to pair with WNS premium a limbs. Now I know I made the right choice. Thanks for your videos! EDIT: I got my Topoint Unison riser a few days ago. I can confirm that the grip is made of micarta. Really nice riser by the way.
I've been quite pleased with the Unison riser I just bought. It is an exceptional value in target bow risers and I also have three Gillo risers with the GT costing more than three times the $220 I paid for the Unison. Couple the Unison with a Topoint Aerodyn carbon/foam limb set and the finished kit will be perfectly suited for top level competition shooting and scores at a fraction of the cost of a $1000 big brand name kit.
nice review; the handle is in fact real wood. It is a stack of thin, dyed layers (laminates) of wood laid down in alternating colors, pressed, and glued together, then cut like a solid piece of wood. "American Hunting" or "American Archery" of China ismaking whole wooden ILF risers out of this same wood, so it's not a price problem with how much of the dyed. stacked wood they make these days. It makes it very strong, as a rule.
Like plywood if done well it can turn out well but on my Junxing Pharos 2 I had the same kind of grip. I tried drilling just a few millimeters because I had to shorten the screws to fit another grip, and the wood just splintered and chipped as soon as I touched it with the drill.
The grip is made of laminated wood, that one seems with two tone tinted "slices" i buy it from woodworking supplies to make handles for tools, knives, etc. I think one of the commercial names is spectra, it is very common material, relatively stable, and easy to shape, i understand the designers chosing it as a material for a bow handle, makes sense.
Hi hi, I'm planning to get this riser as well but I'd like to know if 70" has a more gradual draw weight than a 68" with similar poundage? I'm 1.75m tall and draw length about 28-3/4". Thank you.
Whats really interesting about this vid is watch your bow wrist. When you arent using a finger sling you can see your wrist is twisting to the left, when you have the sling the bow isn't torqued at all. I noticed because I am currently making this mistake .... but with my sling :)
Another great video. I have a question about bow grip. In watching your release with the Olympic setup you appear to use a loose grip and then after the shot open your hand and drop your wrist to let the bow fall forward to be retained by the sling. I guess my question is; the arrow appears to be several yards down range before the bow dips forward, is letting the bow roll forward after the shot necessary? Thanks for al the great videos and help you provide.
I saw that too and it is weird. You use a sling as a catch device because, if having a nice loose grip, the bow would jump out of your hand, and fall over/swing. If you watch high end shooters it is pretty neat to see. Here, he seems (can only obviously tell by the vid and nothing more) that he holds it and lets it go after the shot, defeats the whole point of it. Hopefully NuSe sei has a good explanation cause it doesn’t make sense (and it is slightly disappointing to see/bad form)
Hi, What is the maximum pull weight for this riser? Can you use up to 70lbs limbs? Is this forge? Which is better unison or basha pro? Hope to hear from you soon thank you. Love your vids
I normally don't unless it comes direct from the supplier or is a sponsored video. The main reason is that bows can be bought from many retailers and online, and can easily be found. It would make more sense if I did affiliate marketing.
Thank you for the detailed review. I wonder how the Unison would compare to the Gillo G2 riser. Both retail for the same price. The Gillo is a bit heavier; wonder how advantageous that might be, if at all.
The higher weight is an advantage in holding steady for target work. If carrying long distances it is a minus but in the shooting it helps, witness how the competition archers add mass weight to bow as well as stabilizers.
@@jcgardner5852 IMHO, better to start with a light riser as adding weight is too easy and fast to accomplish whether Olympic Recurve or Barebow shooting styles.
What are all the specs I need to build an Olympic style bow? For 25” riser , how long limbs, string length and so on, or is there a source that Ican use to get the requirements for this?
to match the price point of this rise and keeping it cost effective to enter target archery , which sight do you think you can recommend to go with it ? shibuya and axcel definitely is way too high end to match this riser
I'm not a recurve shooter, but I wouldn't see why this is not suitable for competition. What you would probably get from a more of a pricy setup is better manufacturing if it can get any better.
