Description
An exciting bow for beginners! - The CORE Zeal compound bow.
CORE's new compound bow Zeal is without a doubt an amazing entry-level bow. Of course, all shooters must decide for themselves which bow is perfect for them, but already at first glance, the Zeal really seems quite impressive. With a length of 38.75 inches (approx. 98cm) - measured from axle to axle - and a relatively large brace height of 7.75 inches, the bow can be drawn very comfortably and also forgives one or two mistakes in the shot process. Due to the relatively large distance between the cams, the angle on the drawn string is large enough to safely shoot the bow both with a mechanical release and with bare fingers as well.
With a weight of only 1700g and a let-off of 70%, the Zeal makes it quite easy for any beginner to hold the fully drawn bow and concentrate on the target.
Even when it comes to the adjustment options, the bow makes it easy for the shooter. The draw weight can be adjusted between 30 and 45 lbs and the draw length between 23 and 30 inches without needing a bow press. The draw weight is adjusted via the limb screws, which can be loosened up to 7 full turns counterclockwise.
The bow is fitted with all mounting options for accessories, including D-Loop as well as Peep sight, and ready to make your entry into archery child´s play.
Available as a right-handed model only.

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.
