DRAKE Black Raven 2.0 - 56-60 in. - 30-60 lbs - Recurve bow
The new Black Raven 2.0 is a consistent further development of the popular Black Raven! Most striking is certainly the new design of the riser, with its rounder, more modern shapes and extravagant throwing arm holders. These make the limbs look as if they are only held by the limbs screw and otherwise float in the riser. Otherwise it remains true to itself and continues to appear in complete black.
A further innovation is that the DRAKE Black Raven 2.0 can now be chosen even more individually. The DRAKE Black Raven 2.0 is now available as a three-part recurve bow with a length of 56, 58 or 60 inches. In combination with the throwing arms made of strong bamboo wood and black fibre glass, which can be selected in possible draw weights between 30 and 60 lbs (in 5 lbs steps), every shooter will find the bow that suits him or her best.
And of course the Black Raven 2.0 does not do without a visor, stabilizer and button bush.

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.
