Perfection down to the last detail - The Amber Take Down Bow from JACKALOPE
The JACKALOPE Amber Take Down is handmade in the finest European craftsmanship from high-quality and innovative materials. The handle is made of natural Amazoque wood, dark American black walnut and ultra-modern Mycarta, for example, which gives it its unmistakable character. The African Amazoque, with its clearly pronounced and very decorative grain, gives the handle a natural, warm appearance. In contrast, the dark wood of the American black walnut and the highly stable Mycarta, which provides stability as an intermediate layer and minimises hand shocks. The limbs are made of spiderwood and black glass, whose silky matt colour is a perfect complement to the handle. All this together makes the JACKALOPE Take Down bows fast, forgiving and very quiet.
Another detail, perhaps not so striking in its perfection, is the hand-ground transitions from the handle to the limbs. The handle merges seamlessly into the limbs without any heels, thus forgetting that this is a three-piece bow. Noble design can also be seen in unobtrusive details.
Its eponym, the amber, is one of the oldest gemstones and healing stones in the world. It is an energetic protective stone that strengthens confidence and vitality. Its warm fire leads back to your own centre and supports you in energy-sapping situations. The perfect namesake for a perfect traditional bow.
SPEED - Carbon for even more speed
Of course, its traditional look is simple and beautiful at the same time, but the Amber by JACKALOPE Archery convinces above all with one thing: its speed. The Amber by JACKALOPE Archery has already been optimized for higher speeds on the drawing board thanks to its special bow geometry. The main focus in the design of this bow was therefore on its increased performance and optimal speed. These requirements are maximized by the optionally available speed versions. An additional layer of carbon improves the already good-natured characteristics of the bow. It makes the bow more forgiving and provides a narrower and more accurate hit pattern when shooting. But how does it do that? Quite simple: Due to the carbon inlay, the limbs are not only lighter and more distortion-resistant but also approx. 10fps faster.

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.
