How a British-engineered riser is solving barebow archers’ most persistent challenges
The Barebow Archer’s Dilemma
For years, barebow archers have faced a frustrating compromise. Traditional risers either sacrificed stability for lightweight maneuverability or became unwieldy with aftermarket weights. The result? Inconsistent arrow flight, fatigued sessions, and scores that never reflected true potential.
Many turned to makeshift solutions – taping weights, jury-rigged stabilizers, or settling for target risers that weren’t designed for barebow’s unique demands. These stopgap measures often created new problems: unbalanced torque, inconsistent performance, and equipment that felt like a collection of parts rather than a unified system.
The Mybo MYKAN 25″ ILF Barebow Riser emerges from this frustration, offering what may be the first riser truly engineered from the ground up for barebow perfection. Let’s examine how this British-designed aluminum masterpiece is changing the game.
Technical Specifications
- Riser Length: 25″
- Bow Length: 66″-70″ (depending on limbs)
- Weight: 58.2 oz (including integrated master weight)
- Material: High-grade aluminum
- Finish: Matte anodized
- Special Features: Barebow-specific geometry, multipoint weight system
Three-Level Product Anatomy
1. Physical Structure
The MYKAN’s 25″ length provides the ideal balance between stability and maneuverability. Its carefully calculated geometry positions the weight distribution precisely where barebow archers need it most. The riser features:
- Precision-machined aluminum construction
- Integrated 12.35 oz master weight system
- Multiple stainless steel weight mounting points
- No sight mounting holes (pure barebow focus)
2. Functional Mechanics
Every curve and angle serves a purpose in the MYKAN’s design:
- The weight-forward geometry creates a natural balance point that reduces torque
- Precision flex characteristics ensure clean energy transfer to the arrow
- The multipoint weight system allows micro-adjustments to match individual shooting styles
- Matte finish eliminates glare and provides secure grip in all conditions

The Barebow Transformation
Initial State
Sarah, a competitive barebow archer, struggled with inconsistency. Her modified target riser never felt quite right – always fighting torque, never settling comfortably into her shot.
Trigger Event
After another tournament where her equipment seemed to work against her, Sarah realized she needed a riser designed specifically for barebow’s unique demands.
Product Intervention
The MYKAN’s barebow-specific geometry and integrated weight system provided immediate improvements. The riser settled naturally into her shot, with torque nearly eliminated.
Final Transformation
Within weeks, Sarah’s scores improved dramatically. The equipment became an extension of her form rather than a variable to compensate for.
Why the Mybo MYKAN 25″ Stands Out
For barebow archers seeking precision-engineered equipment that enhances rather than compromises their form, the MYKAN represents a watershed moment. Its barebow-specific design, integrated weight system, and British craftsmanship solve problems most archers didn’t realize could be addressed at the riser level.
Whether you’re a competitive barebow shooter looking for that extra edge or a traditional archery enthusiast wanting equipment that complements rather than fights your style, the MYKAN 25″ delivers where generic risers fall short.
What Barebow Archers Are Saying
“The MYKAN changed my barebow game completely. No more fighting my equipment – it just works with me. My scores have never been more consistent.”
– Mark T., National Competitor
“Finally a riser that understands what barebow archers need. The weight distribution is perfect right out of the box.”
– Elena R., Coach & Former Champion
