2019 Fivics Vellator Recurve Riser review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Fivics Archery make a range of Recurve archery equipment aimed at target archers and Elite target archers.
We review the Vellator riser - we go through various ILF limbs to determine which ones will fit. We setup a Vellator and shoot it for a final analysis of the bow.
The Fivis Vellator Riser in Australia retails at $525.
Fivics Titan EX Carbon Foam limbs $890

Steven god love you man.... when shit goes wrong it goes wrong all the way ...... This is why you are the BEST on youtube for reviewing archery goods ..... most people would have edited it out all the mishaps but you went with it in all honesty and that makes you a valued and respect owner, archer, reviewer KUDOS to Archery Supplies Australia.....
That review was meant to be 20minutes done. Took me all day. Still have not painted.
You should get in touch with Fivics, get a comment from them. Would be interesting to hear what they say.
One of the best archery video's I've ever watched. Completely honest, and well described.
5:00 all ILF limbs will fit all ILF raisers but that doesn't mean you can clip one set out and another straight in, I had to adjust the tiller bolts on mine when I changed from Kaya to SF.
The limb was to tight on the bolt you would need to sand the inside of the limbs. Cartel had this problem also in the past.
I had to sand my KAP and SF limbs to fit my Kaya K7 riser.
I have the Vellator and I love it. Really zero vibration from it. Now I can totally focus on technique improvement.
I have a black Vellator v1 and love it. Grip is great. I have Chinese made Tachyon carbon foam limbs that lock in like silk. I will keep shooting this setup until I’m good enough to upgrade.
Good to hear/see you. A great and honest review as always from you. If you asked 100 shop owners to give honest reviews about their merchandise I bet only a very few would be that honest. Can't wait for more recurve reviews. Thank you.
I don't think hardly any sales people are honest so do your home work. Most people are just interested in selling which I understand. I honestly don't know how a review will roll till I start shooting. The Mathew Triax went horrible but a Vegas some people shot that bow great.
A real tight fit, like will almost not fit at first tight is the best. Add a really small amount of grease the first time you mount it and then it will set to perfectly tight but not too tight after a couple of sessions.
Overall probably the best review of any archery gear I have ever seen.
Hello Steven, I believe the tightness is due to the extra 'clear coat' on the riser. The (U) size is designed not accounting for the paint and is very precise.. when the riser is painted and glossed with clear coat.. the size changes by ~0.02mm.. hence the fitting issues.. you can scrape it off and they are good.
Hi Steven, if you don't mind me raising a point, if you are going to file out the varnish on the Inside of the limb joint, don't use a file, use a piece of rolled up wet & dry! Less damaging to the limb!
hey does the wiawis cx7 limbs fit on the vellator v2
Changes name of video to - When shit goes wrong, just roll with it.
That's how we roll. lol
I shoot Fivics risers with mostly W&W limbs. NS and NS-G holes seem a little smaller than the WIAWIS One limbs I have. I've always had to lightly sand the NS and NS-G holes to get them to fit.
I like that anodized green color - sharp.
During your full length bow review/speed test you should try those limbs on your TFT riser, and see if it is the riser or the limbs that are reducing the vibration and shooting so well for you. Maybe some mix and match between brands would make the ultimate bow.
Steve
What would be interesting is when you test the Fivics riser is:
The difference between the Titan limbs vs Vellator limbs on the same riser.
Nice review. Love your honesty in your review. I have experienced same issue with strings strand count and ILF fititng. No big deal but it makes life just a bit more unexpected : )
Thank you very much for this review! I can't wait to see the second part of it. I would appreciate to know your opinion on a match Vellator vs win&win ATF too! Oh and please, keep smiling, that's really cool! Thanks
Why do so few people use fivics bows? They look awesome to me and from what I've seen online people who used them like them very much. But when I ask experienced archers in my club, they all tell me to buy win&win or hoyt... I really want to buy the valletor but not sure if it really is a good choice as I don't know anyone shooting fivics bows.
18 meters is ok but I be interested in a 70 meter comparison. Maybe the differences between bows would be greater.
Great honest review, Steven, as always. Hey, all these stunning recurve options now; wish Fivics would do compounds. Beautiful. ;-)
so a fivics riser accepts any ilf limb-except a fivics...
Try another riser
HAHA!!
Would love to see a comparison to the ex foam limbs vs vellator foam limbs. Love our reviews.
is it good for 70 meters shots? And is it usable for barebow competitions too?
So the limbs that doesnt fit(that have their gap too tight) not fit into other risers as well?
To be honest. It's not that unusual. It's a 50/50 if they will fit. At the club I've been asked to help fit new limbs for people fairly often.
@@sahhull this is the first time ive heard of this problem. Very interesting, why would they call it ILF if half of the limbs doesnt fit half of the risers out there, out of the box?
I admire your videos for telling the truth even if it goes pear-shaped and it's a product you sell. Is it the Fivics limb bolts or the W&W limbs?
IT's the W&W limbs. I use Fivics risers and the newer W&W limbs almost always fit too tight whereas everyone else's are just fine.
Great video, no cover ups honesty through and through. I'm sure we would have more archers if it was easier to start.
Just watched this again. Love it.
Hey Steven, I'm planning to upgrade my equipment. I would love to have your opinion on what should I upgrade first. My current setup is sf forged, premium limb, sf sight, ww hmc plus stab, accura x one prime arrow.
I basically had that setup - I upgraded the sight because it came loose, Limbs and riser did not make much impact in my view, but if you find a riser you prefer go for it. I liked this riser, try it and see what you think. I prefer foam limbs. I am about to compare limbs.
@@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale hahaha, thanks for the advice
I know the V3 is out by now and the video is years old but was curious about your thought on the V2 and if you still like it?
Thanks steven for the great review . I will go for fivics 😋
Thanks for the video, I just bought a Fivics vellator, I cant find the recommended brace height. Can anyone know the brace height for this riser?
Well, it looks like sometimes ILF are not at all International.
great topic and honest&very useful video!! thank you!
can you please review wiawis ns foam, wiawis ns g and the fivics titan foam limbs on the same riser (either on the fivics ex, wiawis nano tft and tft g). thank you!
I love that green riser.
Off the subject, what is your opinion of bamboo as a limb material?
Your Limbs didn't fit the Fivics,,, Shirt?
Good looking setup Too.
Have you ever tried The Chinese Nika 55% recurve carbon limbs ? are they any good?
That iss a beautiful bow! Will you please stop tempting me into buying!!!
Hilarious that Fivics limbs won't fit in a Fivics riser.
Need to do a run through before hitting record lol
First time is tight. Next time is alright.
Why don't you just modify the grip to your liking?
That is to much work and time for me, plus I don't know until I shoot it. So with this bow I will now shoot it all week and see how I go. But I loved the start, I did not hit my arm so I want to make a string and set it up shoot some scores. I loved nothing coming loose to.
@@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale That's fair enough. I look forward to your follow up thoughts and comparison with the other riser/limb combinations, especially the Samick one, good to see them back in the game.
@@bertanderny Im really excited to see how they shoot. I was looking at the Wiawis shoot in this video the string at the start. Im really interested in the cheap Samick Ideal. Love trying things. Just so little time. It takes a lot of time to do. But I would like to do some quick ones.
The 2 thumbs-downs are from Fivics' multimedia marketing team.
Actually I thought that was the best review for Fivics ever. I brought the bow.
@@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale that's true. Fair enough.
I commented during the "limbs not fitting" segment; and went in for a joke before I saw the rest of the video.
Glad to see it turned out to be a fine bow.
@@loki8284 Its funny I never know how a review will go till Im finished. But I shot the bow last night and still love it.
Your a classic mate eh!
Love your reviews.
You make archery entertaining and thank god for honesty.
Green and red?... seriously.... I guess Christmas comes more than once a year down there...
Ciao please in your video subscrive in language Italian tank you
