Description

Wild Honey - Take Down - 62-70"- Recurve bow - 18-38 lbs

The Wild Honey is a three-parted recurve bow, consisting of a 20" or 24" riser with black, fiberglass-reinforced maple limbs.

The bow is particularly popular due to its appealing look, which will convince almost everyone of the comfort of a wooden riser. But of course it is not just the look of the Wild Honey that makes it a popular choice for beginners but also the fact that due to the bow length of 62 to 70 inches and draw weights of 18-38 (in 2 lbs steps), the bow is suitable for pretty much every (beginning) archer. On top of that, it is very ergonomic and with its low weight (approx. 930 to 1100g) it is not only ideal for beginners, but the fact that it also is equipped with mounting possibilities for the sight, stabilisers and the plunger button (5/16 x 24) makes it a good choice for more demanding shooters as well.

14-20 lbs. for youths up to 12 years
20-28 lbs. for men that rarely do sports
28-32 lbs. for sporty men
32-40 lbs. for active sportsmen

10-16 lbs. for youths up to 12 years
16-24 lbs. for women that rarely do sports

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.
