Excitingly Different! - The Tourmaline Take Down Bow from JACKALOPE
The JACKALOPE Tourmaline Take Down is handcrafted from high-quality and innovative materials in the finest European craftsmanship. The handle, for example, is made of naturally grown Amazaque wood and ultra-modern Teknowood, giving it its unmistakable character. The African Amazaque, with its distinct and very decorative grain, gives the handle a natural, warm appearance. In contrast to this is the innovative Teknowood, in which several layers of wood are combined with epoxy resin to form a highly stable material, which minimises hand shocks and promises high stability. The limbs, on the other hand, are made of bamboo and clear glass, whose light wood tones represent a beautiful complement to the handle. All this together makes the JACKALOPE Take Down bows fast, forgiving and very quiet.
Especially striking about the Tourmaline Refined Take Down is the unusual shape of the handle, which looks very modern in its design language and reminds of waves. The grip area is especially strongly formed here and moves slightly forward in comparison to "normal" handle. Thus the bow has more contact surface on the hand at the same time gets a better balance.
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 sales and makes you forget that this is a three-part bow. Noble design can also be seen in unobtrusive details.
Inimitably colourful like his name sponsor! The Tourmaline's handle combines a coordinated play of colours of warm brown and earth tones with accents of silver grey and emerald green. Each bow is unique and underlines the personal individuality of each shooter. The eponym Tourmaline stands for smoothing the way to your goal, it not only has an uplifting and invigorating effect but also has a positive effect on the spiritual level.
SPEED - Carbon for even more speed
In the speed versions, the JACKALOPE Tourmaline is now even faster! 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 shooting shot. But how does it achieve this? Quite simple: Due to the carbon inlay, the limbs are not only lighter and more distortion-resistant but also about 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.
