WHITE FEATHER Petrel - 54" - 15-25 lbs - Longbow

A longbow with a 54 inch bow length is perhaps a little too short to pass for a classic longbow, but it has just the right length for children and young people. Manufactured from a combination of oak wood, high-quality walnut and maple wood and modern Dymondwood, its classic design and the materials used enable a soft draw and impressive arrow speeds. The comfort benefits from an ergonomic handle and promotes a natural hand position.

  • Long bow with 54 inch bow length
  • Ideal for beginners, children and young people
  • Limps made of wood with clear fibreglass laminate on the outside
  • Plywood handle with attractive wood grain

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.
