Hitting Through the CentrE,
the Axis
To find the sweet spot between a highspeed
hunting bow and the stability of
a target bow, Ek Archery Research used
an iterative design process involving the
input of a professional target archery team.
From this cooperation the 32” axle-to-axle
Axis was developed. With a cam profile
that is more suited to precision shooting,
the gentle and almost effortless draw cycle
of the Axis resolves into a less aggressive
back wall with 75 per cent let-off. Draw
weight can be adjusted between 30 to
70lb and the draw length from 23” to 32”
making it the kind of bow that can be
dialed in to the user’s personal ergonomics.
The Axis is a hole-punching machine
that can be perfected with the addition of
an aftermarket fall-away arrow rest and
a target compound sight. The gorgeous
finish of the CNC milled aluminum riser
is available in tactical finishes and popular
solid colours.
Getting the Most Bang for Your
Buck, the Exterminator
Ek Archery Research’s third generation of
compound bow design was the realisation
of a completely adjustable platform
that can be easily and quickly set up to
accommodate the draw cycle of any user.
With a draw length that can be set from
17” to 31” and a draw weight that ranges
from 15 to 30lb, the Exterminator is the
perfect foundation to build a rugged 3D
shooting rig. While the hunting roots of
the bow are apparent in its operational
quietness at arrow speeds of +310 fps, the
design influences of a target bow can be
found in its solid and extremely balanced
handling characteristics. Shooting the
Exterminator in a bare bow configuration
reveals it to be a natural pointer. With a
silky draw cycle ending in a rock-solid
back wall at 75 per cent let-off, the
Exterminator facilitates the beginning
shooter to take advantage of the bow’s
inherent accuracy and focus on proper
shooting form.
