[Custom] FALKENHOLZ Competition - Take Down Recurve bow

FALKENHOLZ Competition - Take Down Recurve Bow

Falkenholz bows have always been the epitome of highly aesthetic and powerful bows. This will also be the case in the future.

Those who know Christian Vorderegger know that for Christian one thing counts above all: maximum performance and precision. He makes no compromises in this regard, so one thing was immediately clear: in addition to the Essence and custom bow making, there must be a model that, like himself, stands for absolute high performance, a predestined tournament bow - a real workhorse, without compromise.

Tournament bow without compromise

What makes a tournament bow in Christian's eyes? It needs a convincing geometry and powerful limbs. It needs the highest stability and shooting smoothness. And the Falkenholz COMPETITION offers all this. Christian Vorderegger uses the most popular Falkenholz riser, the Peregrine with thumb rest and checkering, in combination with high-performance limbs.
To keep this tournament bow affordable, Christian and his team have concentrated only on the shooting characteristics and performance features. Decorative lines or limbs overlays were deliberately left out, as they offer no added value in terms of performance apart from aesthetic aspects. Falkenholz has thus succeeded in designing a bow that leaves nothing to be desired in terms of shooting performance and workmanship and thus offers first-class value for money.

This tournament bow is the ultimate bow for the tournament purist who expects maximum performance, concentrates fully on the technical characteristics of the bow and, just like the World and European Champion Christian, does not want to make any compromises.

Function before looks - Highest precision does not exclude aesthetics

The fact that optics must be subordinated to performance does not mean that aesthetics must be sacrificed. High performance is also compatible with an attractive appearance. The COMPETITION impresses with its discreet, unobtrusive design: the riser, which is made of one piece, is made of the original Falkenholz stabilised HD wood. This beautifully brown-black veined wood is visually impressive with its fine grain. But the material was also chosen first and foremost for its shooting performance. The Falkenholz HD wood is a homogeneous composite material consisting of several layers of wood. These layers are completely impregnated with epoxy resin and result in a riser that is particularly stiff and heavy compared to risers made of Technowood, pure wood or other wood variants. No additional materials or inlays are necessary to create a heavy, vibration-free structure that impresses with its precision. However, you don't have to give up the natural and pleasant feel of wood for this.

Core features of a genuine FALKENHOLZ bow

There are two important factors in the riser that naturally could not be dispensed with: the thumb rest and the checkering. The thumb rest of the Peregrine riser guides the thumb optimally and thus guarantees a consistent grip of the bow hand. The checkering of the palm rest optimises the grip. Your Falkenholz COMPETITION always lies perfectly in your hand for maximum precision.

G5 - The evolution of the Falkenholz limbs

The G5 limbs represent an exciting evolution of the proven G4 limbs. These improvements are the result of innovation, precision engineering and the relentless search for perfection. The slightly modified geometry of the G5 limbs and the integration of high-quality 3K carbon fibre results in improved shooting accuracy and smooth shooting behaviour. The combination of 3K carbon fibre with a high-performance bamboo core and highly stable black glass lays the foundation for an impressive further development in the field of archery. The result: Quiet shots and smooth draw behaviour. Experience a shooting sensation that is characterised by unsurpassed silence. Regardless of whether you prefer a short or long Draw length, the G5 offers absolutely smooth and progressive draw behaviour.

But the highlight of the G5 limbs is undoubtedly the new carbon material. This high-quality 3K visible carbon offers unrivalled torsional rigidity, resulting in unrivalled precision and grouping performance. Arrows fly straight and hit their target with precision. The impressive improvements also guarantee speeds at the same high level as the G4 limbs.

It is important to emphasise that Christian Vorderegger, chief developer at Falkenholz, has brought his extensive knowledge and rich experience to the development of the G5 limbs. As one of the most outstanding archers in the world, having won the titles of World Champion and European Champion in archery, he has made a significant contribution to raising Falkenholz bows to a higher level.
