We were after a takedown that would offer simplicity and durability, yet still have some versatility. After hundreds of hours of r&d and field testing, the Alcona takedown was added to the lineup.

 

The Alcona is a forward handle, easy to shoot 3 piece takedown, that is hard hitting and dead quiet. With 4 riser weight options, there is certainly options to fit each archers needs.

The "light" riser satisfies the archer looking for lightweight, packable gear, the extra heavy riser give the mass weight that some target archers are trying to acheive.

Average 18" "light" risers come in at approximately 1# 12oz, and the 18" medium weight riser coming in at 2# 6oz,  the 18" "heavy" riser weighs in at 3# 3oz, and the extra heavy riser, coming in at approximately 4#'s, it definitely provides that added weight to hold on point.

(Weights listed above are approximate and based on an 18" riser.)

 

The 20" riser gives a bit more stability by moving the mass further from the hand, it also adds approximately 3 to 4 more ounces of weight (depending on materials), to the total weight of the riser. 

 

Having interchangeable limbs the Alcona can be assembled in lengths from 60" to 64" with the XR recurve limbs, and from 60" to 66" reflex/deflex longbow limbs. This leaves many options for the archer to put together the exact combination that suits them best with either riser.

(average draw weight increase going from an 18" riser to a 20" riser, with the same limbs, is approximately 2 pounds).
