At home in nature! - The JACKALOPE Tourmaline Hunter - Recurve Hunting Bow
Those who call nature their second home and consider the archery parcours one of their favorite places will have true joy with the JACKALOPE recurve hunting bows of the Hunter series, the perfect companions for adventures in forest and heath. With a length of 60 inches, the bows are compact and powerful enough to be agile and fast in the dense forest.
The JACKALOPE Tourmaline Take Down is handcrafted in finest European craftsmanship from high-quality and innovative materials. The 15 inches long riser, 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 riser a natural, warm appearance. The innovative Teknowood contrasts to this, in which several layers of wood are combined with epoxy resin to form a highly stable material that minimizes hand shocks and promises high stability. The limbs, on the other hand, are made of bamboo and clear glass, whose light wood tones are a beautiful complement to the riser. All of this together makes the JACKALOPE Take Down bows fast, forgiving and very calm when shooting.
Another detail, perhaps not so obvious in its perfection, are the hand-cut transitions from the riser to the limbs. The riser merges into the limbs completely seamlessly, making it easy to forget that this is a take down bow. Noble design shows itself in inconspicuous details after all.
Inimitably colorful, just like its namesake! The Tourmaline's riser combines a harmonious color scheme in warm brown and earth tones with accents of silver-gray and emerald-green. Each bow is unique and underlines the personal individuality of each archer. The eponym Tourmaline stands for its ability to pave the way to your goal, it not only has a constructive and invigorating effect, but also has a positive impact on a spiritual level.
SPEED - Carbon for even more velocity!
Of course, its traditional look is both simple and beautiful at the same time, but the Red Beryl by JACKALOPE Archery convinces with one thing above all: Its speed. Even on the drawing board, the Red Beryl was specifically optimized for higher speeds thanks to its special bow shape. Consequently, the main focus in the design of this bow was on its increased performance and maximum speed. These requirements are optimized by the optionally available speed versions. An additional layer of carbon further improves the already excellent characteristics of the bow. It makes the bow more forgiving and provides more accurate groupings when shooting. But how does it do that? Very simple: The carbon inlay not only makes the limbs lighter and more torsion 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.
