Supportive clicker - indispensable for successful archers
For archery beginners, the clicker does not usually play a role, but it becomes increasingly important as training progresses. It supports an even Draw length so that the same amount of force is transferred from the bow to the arrow with every shot. Why is this necessary? Especially when training and competing outdoors, distances of more than 60 m or 80 m must be achieved. At these distances, even the smallest irregularities are clearly noticeable in the hit pattern. To avoid this and shoot as many rings as possible, you should therefore use a clicker on the bow for distances of 50 m or more.
Determine the correct Draw length with a clicker
Clickers are only used for recurve bows, as they are not necessary for compound bows and are not permitted for bare bows according to competition rules. Depending on the design and shape of your bow, you can attach the clicker directly to the centre section or externally to the sight arm. Various methods are available in our shop, e.g. models with double-sided adhesive pads or screw connections
But how do these accessories work in detail?
In preparation for the shot, place your arrow on the arrow rest as usual, then clamp it between the clicker and bow centre section and place the arrow on the nock. You can now cock the bow. As soon as the correct Draw length is reached, the clicker strikes the bow and produces the typical clicking sound. At this moment, you release the string.

We offer an extensive range of clickers for left and right-handers as well as models that can be installed on both sides. If you normally shoot with very long arrows, a clicker stem is recommended. This shortens the draw range to the necessary amount and you can still use the clicker for your bow without any problems.
You can also choose between products with or without a magnet. The advantage of a magnetic clicker is that it prevents vibrations when firing and prevents the clicker tongue from springing back. However, regardless of which model you choose, the most important requirement for a clicker is that it must not move on its own.
A Button is required for the correct positioning of the arrow. By using the Button, the arrow is kept away from the bow window and thus significantly influences the arrow flight. This is because it corrects and directs the flight, which ultimately leads to a good grouping. The Button is attached to the centre section of the recurve bow in the hole provided in the bow window.
A clicker is a small aid that is usually attached to recurve bows. When the string is drawn, a clicking sound is heard after a certain draw length. This indicates that the correct Draw length has been reached and the shooter can release.
A clicker promotes a reproducible and even Draw length, whereby almost the same force is transferred from the bow to the arrow with every shot. This avoids irregularities in the hit pattern, especially at long shooting distances of 50 metres or more. An absolute must for recurve shooters.
