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.

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.
