[TIP] DRAKE Dark Chocolate - Take Down - 62-70 inches - Recurve Bow - 18-38 lbs
The DRAKE Dark Chocolate is a 3-piece recurve bow, consisting of a 20 or 24 inches long riser and black or white fiberglass-reinforced limbs made of maple wood, which is particularly well-suited for beginners.
With its attractive appearance in grey-brown tones that are reminiscent of dark chocolate, the riser is appealing at first glance. But of course it is not only the appearance that makes the Dark Chocolate riser an interesting bow for beginners. With its ergonomic shape and a possible length of 20 or 24 inches, it not only fits well and securely in the hand, but with the appropriate limbs, it also allows bow lengths of 62 to 70 inches. By using wood for the riser, the Dark Chocolate is also relatively light and weighs only (approx.) 520g and (approx.) 765g depending on the length. The equipment with a sight-, stabilizer- and button socket (5/16 x 24) leaves no wishes unfulfilled and makes the riser also a great option for more demanding archers.
Available as a right- or left-handed model.
