- The workmanship is very high, the ergonomics of the handles are thought out carefully, just begging bow in hand.
The disadvantages include a very scarce complete set.
- For example, to the model attached Optimo only a string and a simple plastic shelf.
- And Premium have the plunger, but the string you have to buy them, since the onions with a claim to the professionalism of the owner.
However, immediately, plus, even the simplest, sold almost “naked”, Optimo has the handle space for mounting all the accessories used by professionals (sights, plungers, rods counterweights, vibration dampers and other “Goodies”).

How to use
Shoulders are screwed to the handle bolts with a shaped plastic heads without the use of tools.
The installation of the string takes place in four stages
- Slide the bowstring loop on one end and pass it to the middle of the shoulder. The other end with a loop put on the annular groove at the end of the shoulder.
- Take a sturdy rope, a length of one and a half times more string. Make a loop at each end and put them on a ring groove shoulders of the bow.
- Put the handle on the floor and hold her feet. Pull the rope with one hand and slide the loop of the bowstring from mid-shoulder to the ring groove. This operation is easier to perform together.
- Remove the loop of rope from the shoulders of the bow.
Glue the shelf to the arrows supplied with the left side of the handle bow (if you’re right handed), focusing on the hole in it.
Using a ruler, similar to drawing t-squares, determine the position of the arrow on the bowstring. The ruler should touch the shelf with the long side, and perpendicular to the strap – to the bowstring. In the place where the line crossed the bowstring, attach the NOC point – a piece of soft metal, compressed around the string. It is possible to use fishing sinkers with the notch.
If compression do not overdo it with force, otherwise you will eat the string!
- If desired, you can install a second nock point above the location of the arrows.
- Shoot, using the classic English grip (release) the arrow between the index and middle finger, or “Indian” – three fingers holding the bowstring below the nock point.
- Used for aiming peep-website – part in the form of a ring fixed on the string above the nock point. Its position is determined empirically. Depends on the flatness of trajectory of the arrow.
