15 years of pleasure, passion, innovation and performance !
For more than 15 years, we’ve been innovating and pushing further the limits of technology to bring archers the very best. Now, we’re on our 4th generation of limbs, and each one has its own share of successes !
So many great memories ...
2009 - 2010 - 2011 : a fast-and-furious start !
Uukha quickly made a name for itself in the archery world, achieving impressive results with its Upro riser and high-end UX100 limbs. Cédric Byrotheau placed 7th at the World Games in 2009 and was a regular on D1 podiums in 2010 and 2011. UX100 won bronze in the men's event in Nîmes in 2010, team gold at the 2011 3D World Championships and both Upro and UX100 won gold in the junior men's event at the World Championships.
The flying squirrel had truly taken flight !
2012 : London calling !
Olympic years always have a special flavour... that year, two archers were in London with our UX100.
Not to mention gold on junior category at World Indoor Championships, bronze in recurve men at European FITA Championships and an exceptional podium finish in recurve men at French Field Championships: 100% Uukha with UX100 limbs and Upro light riser, never seen before!
2013 - 2014 - 2015 : innovation for results !
Blues racked up a series of medals at the 2013 European Field Championships and it was a gold medal on Women Handisport World Championships, all using Upro riser and UX100 limbs. By the end of 2013, the junior women's indoor world record was also broken with UX100, scoring an impressive 591 points.
Uukha keeps innovating, wedges got smaller, profiles curved like never before: introducing the EVO 2 range and arrival of the VX1000.
This led to a bronze in recurve men at 2014 World Field Championships with Upro and VX1000, a team silver at European FITA Championships, and a new European junior women's FITA record, again with VX1000.
2016 to 2021 : novelties, performances and pandemic.
Our EVO 2 range is finding success all over the world!
The 10,000th pair of limbs just left our workshop, and no matter the age, discipline, or continent, achievements keep coming !
At 2016 European Para Archery Championships, there was a double silver medal on men recurve using Upro and VX1000.
At Rio Games, two Paralympic archers competed using a full Uukha setup. In May 2017, the Chilean FITA junior and senior records were broken with a score of 684 points, using Upro and VX1000.
In July 2017, we launched our new riser, the Xpro, alongside the next generation of limbs, the VX+ and XX.
Results followed quickly, including a bronze medal on women recurve at 2018 World Indoor Championships (Xpro and XX), and the title of Pan-American champion (Xpro + VX+).
Our Xpro riser then evolved to a lighter version, the Xpro2.
More successes came in, such as a team silver medal at a World Cup in 2019, and a double title at 3D World Championships (individual barebow and team), again with Xpro2 and VX+.
The world is slowing down, even coming to a pause, as COVID is coming to shake things up.
Sport will also have to adapt: Tokyo Olympic games will be in 2021, as Uukha reveals its 4th generation of limbs, the S-curve range!
In July 2021, Xpro2 and SX+ took bronze medal in mixed team event at Tokyo Olympic Games. Just like its Asian and American counterparts, our little French brand truly has everything it takes to compete with the best !
From 2022 to now...
Distributed in more than 140 archery shops around the world, Xpro 2 and SX+ have once again made their mark on podiums of biggest competitions: Guillaume Toucoullet won silver at 2023 Paralympic European Championships, Guillaume also broke the Paralympic record in Open Men recurve at Paris last summer, and a few days ago in Slovenia, our SX+ helped Alicia Baumert win the world title in 3D mixed team, and the list goes on !
Our passion for this sport and our commitment to offering archers unique experiences and exceptional performance have guided us throughout these fifteen years.
A heartfelt thank you to archers from all around the world who have helped us develop our products, and who have made our squirrel’s eyes shine on podiums everywhere over years.
Thank you to all elite athletes who now represent our brand at world's most prestigious competitions!
It’s for all of you that we’re always pushing ourselves further, so...
...stay tuned for next adventures!
