WHAT’S ON YOUR BOW? KATHARINA BAUER
RISER: Hoyt Formula Xi, 25” in silver.
“I just love the design and the feeling of the Formula series.”
LIMBS: Hoyt Velos, 44lb in medium (42lb on the fingers).
“I’ve been shooting Hoyt limbs for
10 years now and the Velos are my favourites. Super smooth and super fast.”
SIGHT: Axcel Achieve XP.
“I use a self-made sight pin in it; it’s a very small pin, which helps me to aim more steadily.”
BUTTON: Beiter button, in silver.
STABILISERS: Ramrods Ultra V3. The long rod is 30” with 9oz on the front.
The short rods are 13.5” with 5oz on each. “I like to shoot a long and heavy front stabiliser. My shot routine is quite fast and for that a longer rod helps me to stay steady and strong during expansion and the release. The bow just drops out of my hand while my body stays in a good, strong position. My V-bar is 70° wide and 17° down. “Because of my fast shot, my bow has to be calm and steady from the beginning.
GRIP: “It’s 3D printed, and completely modified. I have really small hands. To get a more stable front arm I tried many different grips. At first I got a quite high one and I ground it down until I found the right position. After that we did a 3D print out of a plasticwood-combination.”
CLICKER: Beiter Klicker plate in combination with the Beiter Microklicker.
STRING: BCY Spectra 652, 18 strands, made by Henning Lüpkemann (HL Customstrings). TAB: Fairweather Modulus Tab – not modified. ARROWS: Easton X10, 550 spine; spin wings 1 3/4” black; Easton Tungsten points, 100 grain; Beiter In-out nocks.
