FAQ

The flying squirrel perfectly reflects what defines us: speed, stability, performance, and precision.

Uukha equipment is manufactured using our exclusive patented technology: Monolith Carbon.

Our limbs and risers are built from a single block of carbon, made from multiple layers of pre-impregnated carbon fibers, which are pressed into a mold and then cured at very high temperatures.

Carbon is cut using CNC machining, ensuring maximum precision and perfect consistency.

All finishing steps are then carried out by hand in our workshop in La Rochelle, France, combining craftsmanship with high-end quality standards.

All Uukha limbs share the same profile and draw curve, but differ in their carbon and fiberglass composition, which directly impacts their performance.

- Alpha & Yangi: 70% carbon, 30% fiberglass
- Sigma & Mazaalaï: 90% carbon, 10% fiberglass
- Omega & Altan: 100% carbon

Omega and Altan limbs also use carbon fibers with higher elongation properties, delivering superior performance in terms of speed and stability.

A Uukha carbon riser offers several key advantages over aluminum or wooden models.

It is lighter (1125 g in 25’’ and 1225 g in 27’’), allowing for better weight distribution exactly where the archer needs it.
The 19’’ riser, at 1025 g, is perfectly balanced and stable - essential for traditional shooting.

Carbon is also the material that absorbs vibrations the best, significantly improving shooting comfort.

Thanks to its superior torsional rigidity and minimal deformation, Uukha risers ensure greater accuracy and optimal performance.

Designed by archers, for archers, they perfectly combine performance, comfort, and elegance.

And the extra advantage compared to other brands:
7 different grip options available across the range, offering maximum customization and adaptability.

Competition demands a high level of physical and mental commitment on the day.

Our bows are among the lightest and most comfortable on the market, offering a real advantage in competition: less fatigue and more consistent performance over time.

Our limbs, both faster and more stable than the other brands, provide greater accuracy on target for all types of archers - including those with lighter draw weights, where speed can compensate for power.

Not at all. Uukha is not limited to any specific type of archer.

For more than 18 years, Uukha products have been recognized for their quality and reliability.

They support you in your daily practice and progression, allowing you to focus entirely on your technique.

Most limbs on the market are still made using traditional laminated construction, an older technology that is sensitive to temperature and humidity variations, which can affect mechanical properties and overall performance.

Thanks to our patented Monolith Carbon technology, Uukha limbs deliver consistent performance in all weather conditions.

They combine an unmatched level of speed, stability, and precision - performance that cannot be achieved with traditional laminated limbs at equivalent size and draw weight.

Carbon, at the heart of our expertise, is the reference material for high-performance industries.

Today, Uukha is recognized as a leading specialist in carbon technology in archery.

Yes, Uukha is perfectly suitable for beginners.

Unlike many premium brands, we offer a complete range of Made in France products, allowing every archer to choose equipment based on their needs, practice, and budget.

More stable, faster, and torsionally rigid limbs always improve accuracy and shooting comfort, regardless of skill level.

Performance and enjoyment are not reserved for elite archers — reliable, high-quality equipment also supports progression and motivation from the very first arrows.

A fast bow without stability is impossible to control.

This is where Uukha stands apart from the competition: our patented Monolith Carbon technology delivers both exceptional speed and high lateral stability.

The result is a bow that is not only fast, but also precise, controlled, and easy to shoot.

The improvement in accuracy on target is immediate.

Each pair of Uukha limbs is hand-marked with its length, draw weight, and serial number.

To distinguish the top limb from the bottom one, simply make sure that these markings are readable in the correct direction once the limbs are mounted on the riser.

For Target range limbs (Omega, Sigma, and Alpha), the length is measured on a 25’’ Uukha riser.
The nominal draw weight is defined with the tiller bolts set at the middle position, at a 28’’ AMO draw length.

For Nature range limbs (Altan, Mazaalaï, and Yangi), the length is measured on the 19’’ Taïkha riser.
The nominal draw weight is defined with the tiller bolts fully tightened, at a 28’’ AMO draw length.

To compare speed, there are two common methods:

- Using a chronograph or radar
- Comparing the gap between impacts at 70 m and 10 m: the smaller the gap, the higher the arrow speed

For the test to be accurate, it is essential that the bow is set up exactly the same way for each pair of limbs tested (draw weight, nocking point, tiller, brace height).

All the tests we have conducted against competing limbs show that Uukha limbs are faster, provide a flatter trajectory, and deliver greater sight mark gain compared to other limbs on the market, under equivalent conditions - especially with Sigma and Omega limbs.

It is our technology that allows us to achieve this unique thickness, making our limbs instantly recognizable among all others on the market.

Unlike traditional limb constructions, Uukha limbs are made from ultra-thin, high-performance carbon fibers. This enables us to achieve greater performance with less material.

By eliminating unnecessary material, the limbs become lighter and therefore faster.

The very slim limb tips are an integral part of the structure, ensuring excellent durability. Their shape has also been carefully designed to preserve your serving: after an endurance test of 30,000 cycles at a 35’’ draw length, no string replacement is needed.

When the bow is properly set up, the sound of the shot is very short and well damped, similar to a suppressed shot. The limbs stop quickly with minimal residual vibration.

If this is not the case:

- Check that the tiller bolts are set between the middle and maximum position (maximum usually gives the best results)

- Make sure your brace height matches our recommended settings (see “Setup”)

- Use a BCY 8125 string (other strings may work, but we have achieved very good results with this one)

- Most importantly, use proper stabilization, including a vibration damper and end weight. Limb dampers can also be used, especially for barebow setups

For Uukha limbs, the commonly accepted range of 0 to +6 mm works perfectly.

To adjust your tiller, we recommend consulting our dedicated article on the subject:

If your draw length is 30” or longer, we recommend using a 27” riser with 70” or 72” limbs. This will give you a bow length of 72” or 74”, depending on your AMO draw length.

You can also use our configurator to help you choose the right setup:

Choosing a longer bow that matches your AMO draw length offers several advantages:

- Better grouping: increased lateral stability helps improve shot consistency.

- More comfort: a wider string angle provides a more comfortable finger position.

- Smoother draw: longer bows are more forgiving and smoother at longer draw lengths.

Thanks to our unique Monolith Carbon technology, we achieve exceptional levels of torsional rigidity and lightweight performance.

This allows us to develop XL limbs without compromising on lateral stability or speed.

Uukha equipment is not affected by temperature variations, so you can store it wherever you like.

However, for your own comfort — and especially to protect the rest of your gear (sight, stabilizers, arrows, and accessories) — we recommend storing your bow in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.

Uukha products are coated with a PU varnish, so maintenance is simple: just use a damp cloth to clean them, then wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Yangi and Alpha limbs come with a 2-year warranty.
An additional one-year extension is provided for Xpro3 and Taïkha risers, as well as Omega, Sigma, Altan, and Mazaalaï limbs.

The warranty covers structural defects only and does not apply to improper or non-standard use.
For example, tightening the tiller bolts beyond +5% (on compatible risers) is considered misuse and is not covered under warranty.

No.

We resolved the initial varnish quality issues over 12 years ago, and at the time, any concerns were handled through our after-sales service upon request.

For the past four generations of limbs, we’ve improved both the varnish composition and our multi-step application process. This ensures a high-quality matte finish that is durable over time.
