DRAKE Kudu - 62" - 25-60 lbs - Take Down Recurve Bow
DRAKE ARCHERY has designed the Kudu riser as a classic wooden-look riser and
therefore it appeals particularly to beginners and traditional archers. Whether
in dark brown, brown or green, the grain of the woods is clearly visible despite
the innovative Dymondwood - a highly stable material consisting of several
layers of wood and epoxy resin - and gives the riser its natural look.
Obviously, the Kudu riser offers more than just looks: Thanks to the ergonomic
shape and the low weight of only 615g it fits well in the hand and absorbs
vibrations reliably. It also comes with a sight-, button- and stabilizer bushing
(5/16 x 24) for ambitious shooters.
The riser is completed by the screw-on
limbs, which are made of black fiberglass laminate with a core of high-quality
maple wood. The DRAKE ARCHERY limbs offer everything you expect from
high-quality limbs: Good stability, excellent performance and a wide range of
draw weights. Of course the tips are also suitable for fast flight strings.
Available as right- or left-handed model.

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.
