SPIDERBOWS Tornado - 64 inch - 20-50 lbs - One Piece Recurve Bow
One-piece recurve bows have a long tradition at SPIDERBOWS. In their development, the focus has always been on outstanding performance and pleasant shooting behaviour. An appealing design, paired with the most modern limb technology and the finest craftsmanship, characterise not only the one-piece recurve bow Tornado, but all bows of the SPIDERBOWS brand.
With a length of 64 inches, the Tornado is a modern, one-piece recurve bow that manages to find the perfect balance between harmonious shape and optimal performance with its elegant exterior. Its grip area consists of half-moon shaped elements made of grey Actionwood, separated by a middle strip of coloured Teknowood. The middle layer of wood is framed by two layers of micarta, only 2mm thick, which increase the weight and provide optimal stiffening of the riser. All to increase comfort and bring the necessary stiffness to the grip area.
The sandwich construction of the limbs has a core of bamboo wood, on top of which lies high-quality, black glass laminate. This construction method and the special, SPIDERBOWS own limb geometry finally provide limbs with very good shooting characteristics.
In the carbon versions, SPIDERBOWS supplements the bamboo core with a layer of carbon laminate only 1.2 mm thick. This special limb construction has a lot of advantages: In addition to maximum torsional stiffness, it guarantees extremely forgiving shooting behaviour and very high speeds.

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.
