JACKALOPE Onyx - Breathtakingly beautiful.
With the Onyx, the JACKALOPE family introduces an extraordinary member: a distinctive competition bow with impressive characteristics and interesting contrasts. During development, the focus was on optimal competition performance, which has been realised in the bow with inimitable precision, absolute shooting smoothness and first-class throwing performance. These characteristics are achieved through the use of modern and natural materials such as carbon, micarta, bamboo and palisander, which in combination also provide the visual contrasts.
The handle area is made of highly stable, sustainable wood in palisander design and contrasting Micarta, giving it its unmistakable character. The wood in palisander design forms the core and is a heavy, hard wood that lends the handle area something very natural with its exceptionally decorative grain and its warm colour tones. This contrasts with the black and white details made of micarta. The grip area is framed by a layer of high-quality bamboo wood, which extends to the tips of the limbs. Of course, no compromises have been made with these either: visible carbon on the front and black glass laminate ensure maximum performance and the highest arrow speeds. Depending on the arrow weight, speeds of 230fps and more are no problem.
The bows and risers are named after the onyx, a strong and protective power stone. It is said to help build emotional and physical strength. The Onyx also protects against negativity and fear, according to an ancient Japanese wisdom: "Fear reaches only as deep as our mind allows it to.
Since ancient times, it has been said that the onyx strengthens intuition and enhances the senses. And who would not like to appear more focused and confident on the parcours or in competitions? Tradition assures us that those who firmly believe in their onyx will achieve everything they want. There could not be a better name for this breathtaking bow.

Determination of the draw hand
The draw hand is the hand that pulls the string. This means that a right-hand bow is held in the left hand and pulled out with the right hand.
The determination of the personal draw hand has far less to do with whether one is left or right-hand than one might initially assume. Rather, it is a matter of determining the dominant eye. The dominant eye is used for targeting. This automatically results in the draw hand.
The term "dominant eye" refers to the eye the visual information of which superimposes everything. If a shooter would try to aim with the other eye, he would have to pinch the dominant eye.
There are two ways to determine the dominant eye: On the one hand, it is the eye that is generally preferred, for example when looking through the viewfinder of a camera, through the spyhole or similar situations. On the other hand, there is a small exercise with which the dominant eye can be determined beyond doubt:
- The arms are stretched out and with thumb and index fingers of both hands, a triangle is formed.
- The triangle is used to target a small target, such as a power socket or a cabinet knob. This object is focused.
- The hands are now slowly moved towards the face without the target being taken out of focus.
- The triangle of thumb and index fingers will automatically incline to one half of the face and the dominant eye will lie within it.
If eye and hand dominance do not match, the bow should still be selected according to eye dominance. The arms can easily be trained on the new draw hand, the eye cannot.
