JACKALOPE Tourmaline - Power and Dynamics in One Bow
Do you love modern bows with a traditional design and want more colour for the handle? Then the JACKALOPE Tourmaline is exactly what you are looking for! A one-piece recurve bow whose limbs in light bamboo, the handle in warm brown and earth tones that reach into silver-grey and emerald-green perfectly complement. Each bow is unique and underlines the personal individuality of each shooter.
The handle of the JACKALOPE Tourmaline 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.
With the 2021 model year, the grip area has been revised and now offers even more comfort. The area of the handball is slightly higher and the handle as a whole is slightly less contoured and thus lies much better in the hand. The shelf has also been redesigned and is now much more rounded and slopes more towards the front. This means that it offers the arrow less contact surface and yet optimal guidance when firing.
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 recurve bow fast, forgiving and very quiet.
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 more accurate hit pattern when shooting. But how does it achieve this? Quite simple: By 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.
