2nd CHANCE | Dragon Clear - 68 Inches - Long Bow | Left Hand | 45 lbs
The Bow shows signs of use.
The Dragon Black is a great longbow for archers who want to get into instinctive shooting. Sleek and clean lines make the bow fit comfortably in the hand while still providing outstanding stability and impressive performance. The contrast between the warm, reddish-brown color of the woods in the riser, which extend all the way up into the limbs, and the clear fiberglass limbs is particularly eye-catching and make the bow appealing at first glance. It just makes you want to try it immediately, regardless of whether you are a beginner or experienced professional.
The riser of the bow is made of exotic hardwoods (Bintangor, Cassia Siamea and Gmelina Arborea), while its grip area is wrapped in suede leather. The limbs are composed of maple and makore wood as well as clear fiberglass Laminate.

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.
