Just wondering if any of you folks have tried them and if so what you thought of it.

Certainly looks the business! I saw a picture about a year ago and wondered what had happened to it. I would be a little concerned about what looks like a custome arrow rest which seems to contain the button mount. Not a problem if it works fine and is to your taste, but that concept might be the weak point in more ways than one? I would like to be able to have the ability to replace that rest easily with a standard type, either because it broke. or was not to my liking.

I was fortunate enough to meet Mr Spigarelli when I was watching the World Champs in Madrid last year, and he had one of these risers with him. I have some photos of it somewhere.

It's heavier than you might expect, and seems to be quite well built It certainly offers value for money, seeing as it comes with a clicker, rest and pressure button.

He told me that the only problems with the riser had arisen when owners had overtightened the screws holding the sections of the riser together, which caused the threads to strip. I got the impression he hadn't sold many outside Italy either (I seem to recall he said he'd sold about 600 overall, but I can't be sure).

Personally I'd prefer a one-piece riser. I also think it's a good idea to try as many risers as you can before making a selection, so give it a go if you get the chance.

Thanks Guys,
Max, yep unusual enough to catch my eye anyway, I'll certainly take a closer look at the button/rest setup though.
John K, Good advice thanks, I've lined up to try one out along with a few others in the same sort of price range in a week or so.

I've got nothing but praise for this Spig bow, they are ultra quiet, easy to tune, take international fit limbs and look revolutionary, hence the name. They are solid in the hand with a super fit grip integral rest but they don't come with a button as far as I know. The riser holding bolts are factory set so don't touch them!! Fantastic riser for £159 from Custom Built.

Bought one today, felt really good trying it out at custom built. Time to send my club membership for in and get shooting!

Hi all,

have had the Spigarelli Revolution for about 5 months now and absolutely love it, first bow so not a lot to compare to, except my club practice bow of a win and win striker type thing.

my riser came without the button, which is an absolute necessity, it is selling quality to me was the grip, absolutely heaven compared to the win and win and when trying samicks etc, this feels so much neater, smaller and the unvarnished wood feels so much more natural.

if you have any further questions feel free to ask me and I will try to let you know based on my bow.

cheers

Joe
