Miu
Miu is kind. Kind to her owner. Tempting to draw the bow and shoot
Archery is not just about points and medals. It is also about the feeling of the shot and the joy of the arrow flying. And that is exactly what Miu will conquer you with. A smaller riser with a significantly forward grip and extremely reflex limbs inspired by short Asian bows, similar to the Ashai bow. The forward grip directly calls for “true instinctive” shooting. Playing with Miu will be great fun.
The riser of the bow consists of hard domestic and exotic woods as Shedua, Zebrano, Jatoba, Ipe, Wenge, Ash, Maple and Walnut interspaced with thin color fiberglass reinforcement. The wood is pre-cut to segments, carefully selected and glued again. This enables higher toughness, stability and absorption capability of the riser. I consider the design of the riser that consists of hard woods and fiberglass to be an ideal solution from the point of esthetics, bow properties and safety.
The limbs are made of a core of bamboo and other lightweight wood laminations and, depending on the design, fiberglass or carbon laminate. Single cross carbon (SCX) version has a carbon on backing and a transparent or black fiberglass on the belly. Double cross carbon (DCX) has both laminates of 100% carbon.
There is a veneer under the transparent fiberglass. It serves one main purpose to show and celebrate the natural beauty of the wood. The choice of the veneer and wood type is down to personal preferences of each and every archer.
Every Miu bow is varnished with 5 layers of matt 2 PUR varnish. The bow can be customized with brass inserts UNC 10-24 for a bow quiver mount. The grip can be dressed in leather on request.
Every Miu bow is supplied with 12(14) threads of Dynaflight 97 or 16(18) threads of Spectra 652 string and Angel Majesty centre serving.
