The rental program - You want to try archery without investing a fortune?
Then our rental program is just right for you! For a small rent you can try archery for 6 months. If you don't like archery or you want to try another bow model, you can simply return the bow.
But if you feel like continuing, you don't have to do anything else, because your rental contract is automatically extended for another 6 months. After a total rental period of 18 months, the rental bow automatically becomes your property.
So that the bow fun can start right away, all our rental bows are of course shipped ready to shoot, i.e. including string, nocking point and arrow rest. All materials are as good as new or used. They are technically flawless but may show optical signs of use.
Matching our rental bows, we also offer other accessories for rent. The optionally available arrows are purchase items and not part of the rental offer.

DRAKE Greyhound - 62-70 inch - 16-38 lbs - Take Down Recurve Bow
The DRAKE Greyhound recurve bow inevitably draws everyone under its spell. The different shades of gray of the riser are reminiscent of the brindled coat of its namesake, the Greyhound, probably the most famous breed of greyhound in the world. The grain shows a variety of different shades of gray, from deep cool blue-gray to delicate warm greige. This is made possible by the modern material Dymondwood, from which the handle is made. Dymondwood is a highly stable compound of several layers of wood, which are bonded with epoxy resin under high pressure and as a result has the ideal characteristic for archery to absorb vibrations excellently.
But of course, it is not only the appearance that makes the Greyhound riser an interesting starting point for a beginner bow. With its weight of only (approx.) 540g or (approx.) 710g, its ergonomic shape and an available length of 20 or 24 inches, it not only lies well and securely in the hand, but also allows bow lengths of 62 to 70 inches with the appropriate limbs. This makes it possible to assemble a bow that will convince everyone of the comfort of a wooden riser. The equipment with sight, stabilizer and button socket (5/16 x 24) also leaves nothing to be desired and makes the riser also recommendable for more demanding archers.

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.
