Colourful start into the new (archery) year
The new Take Down Recurve series from Drake brings colour into the dark season.
With the Take Down Riva bow, DRAKE ARCHERY has more than succeeded in making a colourful start to the new year. Bow is not 100% correct, it is rather a small bow series.
The riser of the Riva is available in five different colours: Fern - a rich green, Truffle - a wonderfully warm brown tone, Midnight - a deep dark blue, Plum - an exciting violet and Hibiscus - an exciting combination of deep blue and mystical violet. Visually, the riser captivates with the expressive contrast of the central strip of deep black Drake stable wood, which is framed by the particularly delicate Dymondwood in beautiful colour variations.
The riser owes its slightly higher weight to the combination of Drake stable wood and Dymondwood. A slightly higher weight in the middle section has several advantages. It makes the grip significantly more torsion-resistant, which in turn increases precision and almost completely eliminates possible hand shock.
The grip is completed by high-quality limbs with a high-performance bamboo core and an inlay made of black stable wood, which is covered with satin black power glass. The RIVA limbs offer everything you would expect from high quality limbs: good stability and excellent throwing performance.
Both the riser and the limbs are available in two lengths. The slim, ergonomic riser is available in 15 and 17 inches. In combination with the limbs in medium and long, this results in bow lengths of 60, 62 and 64 inches. A special feature here is that there are two ways to configure the 62 inch long bow: either with the 17 inch riser and the Medium limbs or with the 15 inch riser and the Long limbs. The latter option is perfect for archers with a long draw who still prefer a shorter bow.
Its compact size and wide range of draw weights make the RIVA an incredibly versatile bow for archers of all skill levels. At 20 lbs, it is the perfect companion for teenagers and petite women. With up to 60 lbs, it is equally suitable for advanced shooters looking for maximum throwing power in 3D shooting.
All in all, this is a more than successful bow that leaves nothing to be desired in terms of both looks and performance. Particularly noteworthy are the immaculately crafted tips, which emerge absolutely seamlessly from the limbs.
