DRAKE ARCHERY ELITE Red Goblin - 60 Inch - 30-50 lbs - Take Down Recurve Bow
Fiery, distinctive, and a bit quirky like a red goblin! – This is how the DRAKE ARCHERY ELITE Red Goblin Recurve Bow presents itself. Its two-tone exterior in deep reddish-brown and classic black is accented by a narrow bamboo strip running through the riser, visually forming the core of the limbs.
The riser is made from innovative Dymondwood – a highly stable composite material of multiple layers of wood and epoxy resin. It effectively absorbs vibrations and enables fast, consistent shooting over the rounded shelf.
Quality Down to the Tips
The 60-inch bow is completed with dark bolt-down limbs. Made from black DRAKE Power Glass with a core of high-quality bamboo wood and powerful maple wood layers in the area of the mountings, the Red Goblin offers everything demanding archers expect:
- High stability and excellent performance.
- Fast Flight ready: Reinforced tips allow the use of modern string materials.
- Including accessories: Two string silencers that are easily braided into the string are included. They significantly reduce vibrations and noise after the shot.
All in all, this creates a durable red goblin – pardon! – bow that makes an excellent figure both on the course and in the hall.

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.
