Description
SET DRAKE Hunter - ILF - 58-62" - 24-48 lbs - Recurve bow
Manufactured from a high-strength aluminium-magnesium alloy and anodised in a discreet, elegant and sporty matt grey. The handle has a slim grip with a well-formed palm rest.Thanks to the special, universal shape, with an bow window on both sides, it can be used by right- and left-hand shooters. Its low weight of only 560g makes it light enough to allow the shooter to successfully complete longer training sessions and competitions, but also not too light to give him good feedback and a pleasantly binding feeling when shooting. Of course, it has the obligatory standard sockets for the button, the arrow rest and the stabilizer.
The limbs are made of black fibreglass laminate with a core of high-quality maple and macore wood and offer everything you would expect from ILF limbs: good stability, excellent performance and a wide range of draw weights and bow lengths. The limbs are attached using the International Limb Fitting System (ILF), in which the limbs are simply plugged into the holders on handle. There is no need for screws. This simple but innovative and above all standardised system allows the use of plug-in limbs from various manufacturers and does not bind the shooter to a manufacturer or to the manufacturer of the handle. Thus the limbs can be easily and quickly mounted or exchanged for other draw weights or models.
Suitable for right-handed and left-handed shooters.

Extraservice
Setting the nocking point
The nocking point is a small brass ring that we attach to the string. This marks the correct position of the arrow on the string and helps to quickly find this optimum point again. The arrow is usually nocked under the nocking point. The nocking point itself is of course included in this service and does not need to be ordered separately.
Pre-assembly of attachments
We will assemble all ordered attachments for you (sight, arrow rest, stabiliser, peep sight, string loop, nocking point if required) and prepare the assembly so that you only need a few simple steps to get the bow ready to shoot after receiving the goods.
Which bow length and which draw weight suits me?
Our recommendation for the bow length:
Body height / bow length:
- under 120cm: 54 inches
- 121-135cm: 58 inches
- 136-150cm: 62 inches
- 151-160cm: 64 inches
- 161-167cm: 66 inches
- 168-175cm: 68 inches
- from 176cm: 70 inches
The basic principle is:
It is better to choose a slightly longer bow, as this is more forgiving of mistakes in shooting technique.
Our recommendation for the draw weight:
Draw weight for men:
- 14-20 lbs. for youngsters up to 12 years of age
- 20-28 lbs. for infrequent shooters
- 28-32 lbs. for sporty men
- 32-40 lbs. for active athletes
Draw weight for women:
- 10-16 lbs. for young people up to 12 years of age
- 16-24 lbs. for infrequent athletes
- 24-28 lbs. for athletic women
- 28-34 lbs. for active sportswomen
In general:
Girls tend to be 2 lbs less than boys.
Athletic, strong children tend to weigh 2-4 lbs more than petite children.
