Description

DRAKE ARCHERY ELITE Streak - 62 Zoll - 20-50 lbs - Hybrid bow

The DRAKE ARCHERY ELITE Streak is a successful combination of natural woods. Zebra wood in the riser and a layer of bamboo extending through the entire bow into the tips of the limbs result in a slender and incredibly light bow flanked by black fibreglass laminate. The strikingly beautiful grain of the zebra wood has given the bow its name. It owes its own name to the appeal of the stripes of a zebra. "Streak" thus more than aptly describes the bow's appearance. The attractive "contrasting stripes" made of bamboo probably also played a role in the naming.

The grip area, which at first glance does not look that unusual, is surprising when you hold it in your hand for the first time, because its slim, ergonomic shape is noticeable and the main reason for the lightness of the whole bow. The core of the limbs is formed by a layer of bamboo wood extending through the entire bow, which is covered with reinforcing layers of fibreglass.

Of course, it is not only the look that impresses, but also the finesse of the hybrid bow. No wonder, as this type of bow combines the best of two worlds: At first glance it looks like a longbow, but at 62 inches it is clearly too short to be a "real" longbow. However, it makes up for the lack of size with the typical feature of a recurve bow, the clearly visible reflex-deflex shape in the limbs, and thus cleverly combines the characteristics of a longbow and recurve bow. The result is a compact bow with a smooth draw, high arrow speeds and an almost complete reduction of vibrations in the grip. As is usual with a traditional longbow, the string of the hybrid bow does not touch the limbs, but only the tips.

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.
