Experience the perfect blend of modern engineering and traditional performance. The Striker DK 17 ILF Riser delivers outstanding accuracy, exceptional versatility, and the freedom to customize your bow with the ILF limb system. Pair it with your favorite recurve or reflex/deflex longbow ILF limbs to create a setup that's perfectly matched to your shooting style.
Precision machined from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, the 17" riser features a deep cut-past-center shelf with adjustment shims, allowing you to shoot directly off the shelf or with an elevated arrow rest. The highly radiused shelf and flat, torque-free grip promote consistent hand placement and help reduce unwanted bow torque for improved accuracy shot after shot.
The longer riser length improves overall limb performance while the large sight window gives a clear view of the target. ATA accessory holes accept sights and bow quivers, while the stainless steel stabilizer bushing provides a secure mounting point for stabilizers, bowfishing reels, camera mounts, and other accessories.
Proudly made in the USA, the Striker DK 17 ILF Riser includes a protective bow sleeve
Available in right and left hand in colors of Black Carbon Fiber, Brown, and OD Green. Please specify.
Features
Choose from a left or right hand bow (choose based on what hand you Draw the bow string with), and bow weight at a 28" draw length. Remember that with a traditional bow the weight will change depending upon what your draw length is. Bow weight will change approximately ±2½ pounds for every inch from a bows rated draw length. So a bow rated 45# @ 28" bow is roughly a 42½# @ 27" or 47½# @ 29". Draw weight is marked at the nearest 5# increment to actual weight, (2#'s under and 3#'s over). This is an industry wide standard.
Minimum Arrow Weight - Do not shoot an arrow weighing less than eight grains for every pound of peak draw weight. For example: If your bow's peak weight is 40 pounds at your 30" draw length, do not shoot an arrow weighing less than 320 grains total arrow weight (40# x 8 gpp = 320 grains). Shooting an arrow below eight grains per pound (gpp) can cause damage to your bow similar to dry firing and possible injury to the shooter or others nearby. Damage caused by shooting an arrow that is too light will damage the bow and will not be covered under warranty by 3Rivers Archery or bow manufacturer.
Typically with ILF bows the weight will adjust up or down 2# for every 2" of riser length. For example, if a pair of limbs is 40# on a 17" riser, they will be 42# on a 15" riser or 38# on a 19" riser. This is standard for all ILF risers and limbs.
Draw weight is marked at the nearest 5# increment to actual weight, (2#'s under and 3#'s over). This is an industry wide standard.
Bow stringer not included. A bow stringer is recommended for stringing any recurve bow or longbow. Stringing a bow without a bow stringer, or stringing it backwards will void a bow's warranty. Click here to see our Bow Stringers. It is recommended to unstring your bow if you do not plan to be shooting more than week. Store your bow on its side, or hanging vertically from a peg. Never rest the bow on the lower tip for extended periods of time. Never dry fire the bow (shooting without an arrow).
