Description
DRAKE ARCHERY ELITE Green Goblin - 60" - 30-50 lbs - Take Down Recurve bow
Poisonous green and perhaps a little cheeky like a green goblin! - That's how the DRAKE ARCHERY ELITE Green Goblin recurve bow comes across. Its two-tone exterior in poisonous green and classic black is only interrupted by a narrow strip of bamboo that not only runs through the centrepiece but also visually forms the core of the limbs. The centrepiece 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, smoother shooting over the rounded shelf.
The 60 inch long bow is completed by the dark screw limbs. Made of black DRAKE Power Glass laminate with a core of high-quality bamboo wood and strong, dark-coloured layers of maple wood in the area of the limbs, the DRAKE ARCHERY ELITE Green Goblin limbs offer everything you would expect from high-quality limbs: good stability, excellent performance and, of course, tips that are also suitable for Fast Flight strings.
Included in the delivery are two string dampers, which are simply woven into the bowstring and help to dampen the string vibrations after the shot and thus also reduce string noise. All in all, the result is a durable little hobgoblin - sorry! - Bow that feels good when shooting both indoors and outdoors.

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.
