DRAKE Alabaster - 62-70 Inch - 16-42 lbs - Take Down Recurve Bow

The DRAKE Alabaster is a 3-piece recurve bow which is especially suitable for beginners. Consisting of a 20 inch or 24 inch long riser and combined with fibreglass-reinforced limbs in black or wood look, the bow is appealing at first sight. Its appearance is determined by a classic real wood riser in warm, light brown tones. Interrupted only by fine decorative stripes of reddish-brown wood.

But of course it is not only the appearance that makes the riser the ideal starting point for a beginner's bow, because with its ergonomic shapes it not only lies well and securely in the hand, but with the appropriate limbs also allows bow lengths of 62 to 70 inches. Due to the use of wood as material for the middle piece, it is relatively light and has a weight of only 650g (20 inch) or 800g (24 inch). Equipped with a sight, stabiliser and button socket (5/16 x 24), this entry-level riser is also interesting for more ambitious archers, as a sight, button and stabilisers can also be fitted without any problems.

Which bow length and which draw weight suits me?

Our recommendation for the bow length:

Body height / bow length:

  • under 120cm: 54 inches
  • 121-135cm: 58 inches
  • 136-150cm: 62 inches
  • 151-160cm: 64 inches
  • 161-167cm: 66 inches
  • 168-175cm: 68 inches
  • from 176cm: 70 inches

The basic principle is:
It is better to choose a slightly longer bow, as this is more forgiving of mistakes in shooting technique.

Our recommendation for the draw weight:

Draw weight for men:

  • 14-20 lbs. for youngsters up to 12 years of age
  • 20-28 lbs. for infrequent shooters
  • 28-32 lbs. for sporty men
  • 32-40 lbs. for active athletes

Draw weight for women:

  • 10-16 lbs. for young people up to 12 years of age
  • 16-24 lbs. for infrequent athletes
  • 24-28 lbs. for athletic women

Girls tend to be 2 lbs less than boys.
