The Wild Honey is a take down recurve bow, consisting of a 20 or 24" riser with black, fiberglass-reinforced limbs made of maple wood.
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
Available as a right- or left-handed model.

Setting the nocking point
The nocking point is a small brass ring that we attach to the string. This marks the correct position of the arrow on the string and helps to quickly find this optimum point again. The arrow is usually nocked under the nocking point. The nocking point itself is of course included in this service and does not need to be ordered separately.
Pre-assembly of attachments
We will assemble all ordered attachments for you (sight, arrow rest, stabiliser, peep sight, string loop, nocking point if required) and prepare the assembly so that you only need a few simple steps to get the bow ready to shoot after receiving the goods.
