2nd CHANCE | JACKALOPE - Malachite 2019 - 62 Inch - 34 lbs - ILF - Take Down Recurve Bow | riser shows slight signs of use.
There is no such thing as a traditional recurve bow with an ILF system? - But there is! And it is from JACKALOPE Archery! With the Malachite riser of the 2019 model year, JACKALOPE expands its extensive range with another modern riser in traditional garb. Innovative Dymondwood, which is a highly stable compound of several layers of wood and epoxy resin, absorbs vibrations optimally. The riser is pleasing in its own right due to its exciting appearance in intense shades of green, which looks confusingly similar to the mineral malachite, making it distinctly different from other traditional bows.
The JACKALOPE limbs are made of black fiberglass laminate with a core of high-quality maple and makore 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), where they are simply inserted into the worm arm mounts on the riser, not screwed. This simple but innovative and standardized system allows the use of plug-in limbs from different manufacturers and does not tie the shooter to one manufacturer or the manufacturer of the riser. Thus, the limbs can be easily and quickly mounted or exchanged for other draw weights or models.

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.
