Description
DRAKE ARCHERY ELITE Badger - 62" - 20-55 lbs - Take Down Recurve Bow
As black as the night! - This is the DRAKE ARECHERY ELITE Badger Recurve Bow. Its deep black color is only interrupted by the narrow bamboo stripes, which not only run along the riser and follow its shape, but also form the core of the limbs. The riser itself is made of innovative Dymondwood - a highly stable material consisting of several layers of wood and epoxy resin. It absorbs vibrations and allows for faster, more consistent shots over the rounded shelf.
The bow is completed by the dark screw-on limbs, which are made of black fiberglass laminate with a core of high-quality maple wood and thin layers of bamboo. The DRAKE ARCHERY ELITE limbs offer everything you expect from high-quality limbs: Good stability, excellent performance and a wide range of draw weights. The tips are of course also suitable for fast flight strings.

Characteristics
Right-handed or left-handed?
Determination of the draw hand
The draw hand is the hand that pulls the string. This means that a right-handed bow is held in the left hand and drawn with the right hand.
Determining your personal draw hand has far less to do with whether you are left-handed or right-handed than you might initially assume. It is much more about determining the dominant eye. The dominant eye is used for aiming. This then automatically results in the draw hand.
The term dominant eye refers to the eye whose visual information is superimposed on everything. If a shooter tried to aim with the other eye, he would have to close the dominant eye.
There are two ways of determining the dominant eye: On the one hand, it is the eye that is generally favoured, for example when looking through the viewfinder of a camera, through the peephole or similar situations. On the other hand, there is a small exercise that can be used to determine the dominant eye beyond doubt:
- The arms are stretched out and a triangle is formed with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands.
- A small target is aimed at through the triangle, for example a socket or a cupboard knob. Focus on this object.
- The hands are now slowly brought towards the face without taking the target object out of focus.
- The triangle of thumb and index fingers will involuntarily tend towards one side of the face and this is where the dominant eye is located.
If the dominance of the eye and hand do not match, the bow should still be selected according to eye dominance. The arms can be easily retrained for the new draw hand, but not the eye.
