-
Exceptionally quiet and stable
An absolute highlight is the stabilised HD wood used, which is known for its high density and exceptional stability. Compared to the previous Dymondwood, this wood has more weight, which makes the bow even more stable and smoother in its shooting behaviour. Every shot will be a real pleasure!
-
More weight - higher precision
The use of HD wood and the resulting additional weight minimises vibrations. This makes the shooting behaviour smoother and easier to control. This gives the arrow a smoother and more consistent trajectory for greater precision at the target.
-
Innovative design - inimitably colourful
While technical progress takes centre stage, the Classic version of the Obsidian also offers a visually appealing appearance. The natural grain of the HD wood combined with a carefully conceived design gives this bow not only functional superiority, but also a high-quality character. The riser of the bow is the artfully crafted, one-piece Riser, which is timeless with its classically elegant curves. As innovative as the Riser is, its name is just as extraordinary! Obsidian is a gemstone with very special and not unimportant characteristics for shooters. This elegant, black stone made of lava glass not only protects against negative energies, but also helps to realise one's own goals. It promotes perception and strengthens inner calm and patience. A thoroughly successful choice of name for the flawless JACKALOPE obsidian risers and bows.
Anyone who chooses this exceptional bow is not only investing in their archery career, but also in a timeless companion full of elegance and style. Whether for competitions or recreational sports - the Obsidian fulfils the requirements of experienced archers and sets new standards in terms of performance and design.
And best of all, this high-quality bow comes with a 30-year guarantee*! This shows you how much Jackalope believes in its quality.

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.
