Loose rings provide direct contact with immediate release where the pressure on the tongue and bars ceases as soon as the rider releases the rein and the bit assumes a neutral position in the horse's mouth.
Elliptical Lock Up is a three-piece mouthpiece with a locked, elliptically shaped center part. It is sharper than the Control plate because the contact area with the tongue is smaller. This means that a horse that uses its tongue to push against the bit to take control will come back and tuck in its nose, making it easier to control. By locking the center part, the nutcracker effect is prevented, resulting in less pressure on the horse's bars. This, in turn, slightly increases the pressure on the tongue, making it a sharper bit than, for example, the Ported kernel.
Bombers bits are manufactured in South Africa and are entirely handmade, providing a unique opportunity to choose how every little detail on the bit should be designed. You can choose the type of mouthpiece you want, the type of rings/shanks, how thick the bit should be, and even if you want different lengths on the right and left sides of the mouthpieces. The mouthpieces are made of sweet iron and brass and are shaped to distribute pressure over a larger area, while the rings/shanks are made of stainless steel.
