60-inch bow
The official model designation is 60″.
The previously listed metric value of 1460 mm has not been retained because it should not be treated as a direct conversion of the nominal 60-inch designation without separate manufacturer confirmation.
The 60-inch format provides a more compact platform than a 68-inch longbow while retaining the characteristic geometry of a full-sized recurve.
Draw weights from 20 to 60 lb
Available draw weights are:
- 20 lb
- 22 lb
- 24 lb
- 26 lb
- 28 lb
- 30 lb
- 32 lb
- 34 lb
- 36 lb
- 38 lb
- 40 lb
- 45 lb
- 50 lb
- 55 lb
- 60 lb
Lower draw weights can be useful for technique development and newer archers.
Higher draw weights require appropriate physical conditioning, correct shooting technique and properly matched arrows.
The strongest version is not automatically the best choice.
Takedown construction
JUNÁK III is a takedown recurve bow.
Its main components are:
- riser
- upper limb
- lower limb
- mounting hardware
- bowstring
The limbs can be removed from the riser for transport, storage and inspection.
Interchangeable limbs
Compatible limbs using the same mounting pattern can be exchanged within the appropriate JUNÁK III configuration.
This may allow a change in draw weight without replacing the complete bow.
Only compatible components intended for the model and riser should be used.
After replacing the limbs, check:
- correct seating
- mounting hardware
- symmetry
- string alignment
- brace height
Padauk, American walnut and ash riser
One of the defining features of Moon Premium is its laminated riser combining:
- red padauk
- American walnut
- ash
Padauk provides the strong reddish tone.
American walnut forms the darker contrasting sections.
Ash creates a lighter accent between the different layers.
Because natural wood is used, grain and colour can vary between individual bows.
Pistol-style grip
The riser uses an ergonomic pistol-style grip.
Its defined shape helps the bow hand return to a similar position from shot to shot.
The grip should still not be squeezed excessively, as unnecessary hand tension can affect bow alignment and shot consistency.
Ash and fiberglass limbs
The working limbs combine ash wood and black fiberglass.
The materials work together as a laminated recurve structure.
Inspect the limbs before each shooting session for cracks, delamination, impact damage or unusual changes in symmetry.
Tapered limb construction
The limbs use a tapered profile.
Their thickness changes progressively along their length according to the required bending characteristics.
Accurate matching of the upper and lower limb is important for consistent operation.
Approximate weight – 830 g
The complete bow weighs approximately 830 g / 29.3 oz.
Its substantial laminated riser provides a very different handling character from an extremely lightweight simple traditional bow.
Physical bow weight should not be confused with draw weight.
Brace height – 17.5 to 20 cm
The recommended brace height is 17.5–20 cm / approximately 7–8 inches.
Check brace height regularly, particularly after fitting or adjusting the bowstring.
Brownell Dacron B-50 bowstring
A Brownell Dacron B-50 USA bowstring is included.
Before shooting, inspect:
- fibres
- loops
- centre serving
- nocking area
- correct seating on the limb tips
Do not use a damaged bowstring.
Arrow lengths from 650 to 810 mm
The supplied specifications list arrow lengths of approximately 650–810 mm.
Suitable arrow materials include:
- wood
- aluminium
- carbon
Arrow length, spine and total mass must be matched to the selected limb weight and the archer's actual draw.
32 inches refers to arrow length
The listed 32″ / approximately 810 mm figure refers to the recommended maximum arrow length.
It is not a confirmed maximum draw length for the bow itself.
Maximum safe draw should therefore not be inferred from this specification.
Natural feathers and plastic vanes
The bow can be used with natural feather fletching or plastic vanes.
When using plastic vanes, an appropriate arrow rest should be installed to provide suitable clearance.
3D archery
JUNÁK III Moon Premium is suitable for 3D archery.
Useful characteristics for this discipline include:
- takedown construction
- wide draw-weight range
- ergonomic riser
- right- and left-handed options
- compatibility with several arrow materials
Target archery
The model can also be used for regular target practice.
Consistent results depend on the complete system, including technique, arrow selection, bow setup and repeatable draw length.
Instinctive archery
JUNÁK III Moon Premium can be used for instinctive shooting without modern mechanical sights.
The shaped grip can support a repeatable hand position, but correct shooting technique remains essential.
Traditional archery
Despite its modern laminated and takedown construction, the bow can also be used within contemporary traditional archery.
Competition classification should always be checked against the rules of the relevant organization.
