I finally got my hands on the CD Archery WF25 Barebow Riser, a riser with a long-standing reputation and loyal following.
Right away, it felt like one of the most stable bows I’ve ever held at full draw — with impressive stock balance and aiming characteristics. But it’s also the loudest bow I’ve ever shot.
If you’re thinking about picking up the WF25 or want to know how it stacks up against modern barebow risers, this video covers it all — from setup and tuning to full 50m scoring.
