Cartel Fantom 25" Recurve Riser

This is my first riser and I'm quite satisfied with my choice. It has all the most important features of higher priced ILF risers but at an affordable cost. The grip is comfortable and limb pockets seem to work smoothly. However I'm concerned about the longevity of it, I've had this for ~6-8 weeks and I'm starting to notice significant wear on the threads used for my plunger and a number of scratches developing on the finish (though I'm not particularly concerned about aesthetics, it's important for some).

This is my first olympic recurve bow, so I was not exactly sure what to expect. Wow, is it fun to shoot. It is set up with 40# Samick wood/carbon limbs and a Spigarelli plunger. Thus far, the combination has improved my accuracy considerably. I also have found that overall arrow speed and target penetration has increased considerably over my wood recurve with 45# limbs. Go figure. I love this bow.

I did a lot of research before deciding on the Fantom riser my first. IMO it is a terrific value for the price ... well built, good finish, atraight, feels good in the hand, and fully adjustable, with many of the features you would find on +$200 risers. I recommend this riser for anyone starting competitive target shooting.

This riser is fantastic for those seeking to improve their archery skills. The price is very reasonable, and the value is definitely evident once you use the bow. However, the riser has very minor marks on the sides, but are very hard to see. All in all, a very nice and effective bow.

This is without doubt one of the all time best buys in archery. The only reaqson I did not give it 5 stars is because of some VERY MINOR machining marks that you would never notice if you didn't know what to look for.
The handle is very decent, not ergo but you won't find that in an intermediate riser...the adjustment capability is second to none. It is arrow straight and very stable overall.
Mine is also silver...this riser is worth much more than its price would suggest. Cartel is doing good by teaming up with Bow Korea.
The clicker requires a 4mm screw, in case you are wondering :)

Based on the price I wasn't expecting much but was very surprised when I opened it up and put it together(Got the silver). Great overall riser, some very small imperfections but for the price the quality of it is top notch. I purchased a set of SAMICK 42/44lb Carbon/Wood Limbs, silver/black for it (Medium) making bow a 68". Was a perfect fit, love the overall feel of it. Power and accuracy is just great. Highly recommend for anyone on a budget that once to get into this style of Recurves.

It is a great riser for it price and quality. It work like no other other riser. Of course it doesn't compare to the one that are expert olympical. It is good for beginner to start with and also intermediate. I would totally recommend this riser for anyone would is starting archery.
