samick agulla versus mizar versus kap winstar

[mstore]

which one of these risers would you chose?

agulla , mizar or winstar? these are the ones i can affoard.
what do you have to say about these risers?

what limbs should i get? my drawlength is 27" and the poundage should be 32...

The Winstar is a the nicest of the three being forged. The Samicks ship their bows faster ;)
I would say 66" at that draw.

Just a word on behalf of the Mizar. I got one a year ago (32 lbs at 68 inches) and by December moved to using that riser with Masters limbs. February I bought a Masters riser. Recently got 670 ACE's for the 36lbs Master set-up. Yesterday thought I'd try the 670's with the Mizar. Was really impressed with the performance 5 to 50m on a practice field butt at home. I think I had it tuned a bit better than the Masters but it actually out performed the Masters, both in a BB situation, though ostensibly the arrow spine should have been a bit too high for the Mizar.

Only criticism of the Mizar is the grip, but in reality with minimum contact bow hand that may be an advantage. Marcus and others may correct me on this, but the Mizar is the only one, I think, that has a 23 inch riser and that may have some advantages for those with shorter draw lenth. In short I reckon the Mizar represents good value for money :lol: .

yeah the Mizar is a 23" riser while the others are 25"
It's an excellent riser for the $$

Do you think your drawlength will increase with form???
If so Winstar + Medium limb, If not the Mizar is a great buy.

To know the size of the bow, firts i think that we should know how tall are you.

Uh, don't we pick bow lengths based on draw length. Who uses height?

But at a 27" draw, you should just go 25" riser and short limbs. You'll get a little bit more speed and better sight marks. But 23" with medium limbs will work too.

My daughter shoots a Mizar, as does one of the better adult recurvers at AAC. It is an excellent riser for those with a shorter draw length.

I concur with others: I don't like the grip - too tight a radius for my big meat plates :-?

Just a thought. For a 27" draw length, wouldn't a 23" riser with medium limbs give a smoother shot than a 25" riser with short limbs? Overall bow length would be the same, and the shorter riser would probably reduce the overall weight, too.

Yup. All down to priorities.

At anchor with a draw length of 27", you will be holding ~2lb less than the nominal limb weight. Ie to get 32lb "on the fingers", use 34lb limbs.

The other thing to note is if the riser you choose has adjustable limb pockets which will allow you to add a few pounds weight.

Good spotting, Clare.

The smaller sight window on the 23" riser was something I forgot to mention and could be an issue.
