For those familiar with the world of competitive target archery, Win&Win’s ATF-X riser stands as a testament to engineering precision and modern design. It is unapologetically a high-performance competition riser, crafted for archers who demand the very best from their equipment.

The ATF-X is an ILF riser forged from aluminum using Win&Win’s unique process, resulting in exceptional stiffness and strength. This stiffness is immediately apparent when shooting, providing a rock-solid, unwavering shot cycle. Paired with stabilizers and dampers, the riser feels refined, offering a crisp and satisfying experience that blends precision with comfort throughout a long day of competition.

Win&Win’s attention to detail shines in the ATF-X. The finish exudes quality, being both durable and visually striking. The bold, grid-patterned design stands out, making a statement with its modern aesthetic while maintaining competitive elegance.

Adjustability and Precision

Adjustability is a key strength of the ATF-X. The ILF fittings are precise and user-friendly, making tuning straightforward. Fine-tuning tiller settings and balancing limb alignment is seamless, providing a reliable and easily dialed-in setup. The T-Block system enhances stability and makes assembly and disassembly of limbs safe and easy.

Grip Comfort

One notable drawback is the factory grip. As a left-handed archer, I found the grip’s shape functional but lacking in ergonomic comfort. For those considering the ATF-X, aftermarket grips are worth exploring to enhance the shooting experience.

Purpose and Suitability

The ATF-X is not designed for barebow archery—it’s optimized for Olympic-style setups with stabilizers, sights, and dampers. While it can be stripped down for barebow use, the balance and feel cater to competitive recurve archers. Those seeking a dedicated barebow riser will find better-suited options elsewhere.

Performance

The ATF-X excels at minimizing vibration and shock. The anti-torsional 45-degree cross-processing design stabilizes the shot cycle, making shooting feel powerful yet smooth. When paired with stabilizers, limb dampers, and limb savers, the bow becomes almost silent. The crisp release and effective vibration absorption inspire confidence on the shooting line.

Conclusion

The Win&Win ATF-X caters to serious competitive archers with its outstanding engineering, beautiful finish, and bold design. While the grip may fall short, this is a minor flaw in an otherwise exceptional piece of equipment. For those seeking a riser that delivers both performance and style, the ATF-X is a worthy contender.
