SET SANLIDA Aviator - 66-70" - 16-38 lbs - Take Down - Recurve
Bow
696 Grams! - Actually, there
is no need to say any more about the SANLIDA Aviator riser, except maybe that
despite its low weight it is not a wooden riser but a full metal riser for
screw-in limbs. This innovation is made possible by the use of particularly
light and stable magnesium. This form of weight optimization helps the shooter
to successfully complete even longer training sessions as well as competitions
and provides good feedback and a pleasant feeling when shooting.
But
being light is not enough to be a good riser. In addition to the obligatory
equipment with sight, stabilizer and button sockets, it also has to look good.
And it does, you will like the riser the first time you look at it. Of course,
the high-quality multi-colored designs like Night Aviator (Black), Snow Aviator
(White), Lady Aviator (Pink) or Jungle Aviator (Camo) with a triple polished
surface play a special role in this.
Together with the SANLIDA limbs made
of high-quality woods, the extremely light 24-inches long riser SANLIDA Aviator
becomes a great bow not only for beginners.

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.

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.
