Description
EXHIBITION PIECE from the showroom - the bow incl. string with nocking point shows signs of use such as scratches and optical defects.
The DRAKE ARCHERY ELITE Streak is a successful combination of natural woods. Zebra wood in the riser and a layer of bamboo extending through the entire bow into the tips of the limbs result in a slender and incredibly light bow flanked by black fibreglass laminate. The strikingly beautiful grain of the zebra wood has given the bow its name. It owes its own name to the appeal of the stripes of a zebra. "Streak" thus more than aptly describes the bow's appearance. The attractive "contrasting stripes" made of bamboo probably also played a role in the naming.
The grip area, which at first glance does not look that unusual, is surprising when you hold it in your hand for the first time, because its slim, ergonomic shape is noticeable and the main reason for the lightness of the whole bow. The core of the limbs is formed by a layer of bamboo wood extending through the entire bow, which is covered with reinforcing layers of fibreglass.
Of course, it is not only the look that impresses, but also the finesse of the hybrid bow. No wonder, as this type of bow combines the best of two worlds: At first glance it looks like a longbow, but at 62 inches it is clearly too short to be a "real" longbow. However, it makes up for the lack of size with the typical feature of a recurve bow, the clearly visible reflex-deflex shape in the limbs, and thus cleverly combines the characteristics of a longbow and recurve bow. The result is a compact bow with a smooth draw, high arrow speeds and an almost complete reduction of vibrations in the grip. As is usual with a traditional longbow, the string of the hybrid bow does not touch the limbs, but only the tips.
