Riser | DRAKE ARCHERY ELITE - Ursus - ILF - 17-19 inch
The Ursus riser of the DRAKE ARCHERY ELITE range is a successful combination of the highly modern, stabilised wood and an extraordinary colour scheme. The different shades of brown and black, ranging from classic reddish brown to dark blackish brown, are reminiscent of the fur colours of bears and make for an appealing look of the riser. It was the association with the bear, which translates as "Ursus" in Latin, that gave the riser its name. The characteristics attributed to a bear are also quite appropriate for archery in general and a bow or its shooter in particular: It stands for self-confidence, courage and energy through inner calm, intuition and, last but not least, strength.
The use of stabilised wood gives the Ursus riser, despite its rather filigree dimensions, a higher, wonderfully binding weight that you would otherwise only expect from much longer and heavier grips. As a result, you benefit from even more shooting smoothness and a plus in stability and accuracy.
ILF - Full flexibility!
While traditional wooden risers usually only have the option of using special screw-in limbs, things are different here: the Ursus centrepiece is equipped with the ILF plug-in system. ILF stands for the "International Limb Fitting" system, which is a standardised mounting system where the limbs are not screwed to the centrepiece, but simply plugged in. This system gives you full flexibility in the choice of limbs and you are not limited to one brand.

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.
