DRAKE ARCHERY ELITE Chameleon - 60 inch - 20-60 lbs - Take Down Recurve Bow
The DRAKE ARCHERY ELITE Chameleon is a 3-piece recurve bow with a strikingly elegant riser and plain black limbs made of bamboo wood. The elegance of the riser is mainly carried by the satin black of the Deep Black Stabilizer Woods, which forms the outer part of the riser. The riser is complemented by an inner part made of Dymondwood, which shines in different, mostly subtle Colours.
With its different color variations, the 15 inch riser offers the right look for every taste. Whether indoors or outdoors, forests or meadows, its bright color palette can "camouflage" itself in almost every environment, thus rightly giving it its name. However, it is not only its appearance that makes the DRAKE ARCHERY ELITE Chameleon riser an important part of any basic equipment for beginners, because its ergonomic shape also lies well and securely in the hand and supports every (beginner) shooter to find the optimal posture. Through different draw weights in the range of 20-60 lbs, the bow can be individually adapted to one's own needs depending on progress and thus become a long companion.

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.
