SPIDERBOWS Crow - 60-64 inch - 25-50 lbs - SWS - Take Down recurve bow
With the Crow SWS, SPIDERBOWS has added another impressive model to its range of all-rounders. Made from high-strength, stabilized wood, the Crow centerpiece achieves extreme stability and more weight than comparable centerpieces. This results in better and extremely smooth shooting behavior, which is suitable for both beginners and advanced archers. A heavier centerpiece offers clear advantages to archers as it contributes to increased stability and precision of the bow. The extra weight of the riser helps to minimize vibrations when shooting and keeps the bow steadier. This leads to improved control over the bow and allows the archer to make a more stable shot. In summary, a heavier centerpiece can help archers achieve a more consistent and accurate performance.
The Crow SWS riser is characterized by a more delicate geometry. The perfectly shaped, ergonomic grip fits perfectly in narrower hands. The centerpiece is cut across the middle and has more center shot, which allows for easier arrow tuning and more precision. The advantages of a bow cut across the center are obvious. With a centershot bow, the bow window (the cut-out in the bow through which the arrow is guided) is designed so that the arrow lies exactly in the middle of the bow when cocking and releasing. This means that the arrow does not deviate to the side, but is aligned directly with the target axis. This minimizes lateral deviations and therefore increases accuracy. The trajectory of the arrow is also more stable and consistent. Overall, a consistent arrow trajectory helps you to improve your shooting skills and increase your performance. The grip geometry cut across the middle is therefore crucial for successful and precise target acquisition in archery. As an archer, you can therefore concentrate better on your shooting technique and the shot sequence.
The SWS limbs complete the bow and really pack a punch! In combination with the SWS centerpiece, they form a bow with fast and precise shooting characteristics that can be drawn very smoothly and does not get into stacking even with long Draw lengths of up to 32 inches. In short: an ingenious limb for this short and fast hunting bow.
The limbs are made from a bamboo wood core, which is covered on both sides with the special SPIDERBOWS black glass, which ensures excellent torsional rigidity. In the carbon versions, the limbs are also equipped with an additional layer of carbon. The carbon insert gives the SWS even more speed and torsional rigidity, which is particularly noticeable on long Draw lengths. The transition to the middle section is tapered and contributes to the timeless design of the entire bow.
The SWS Competition is designed as an optimum tournament throwing arm. Its core made of high-performance bamboo is flanked on the outside by a solid 3K visible carbon and the special black Spiderbows glass on the inside. This limb offers maximum torsional stiffness and is particularly light and fast thanks to the carbon. In addition, the SWS Competition limbs can be pulled really smoothly, even at long Draw lengths, and offer excellent precision.
Despite its compact dimensions as a 60, 62 or 64 inch long bow, the Crow shoots very smoothly, is fast and very soft in Draw length. The geometry and design of the bow are deliberately timeless and modern in order to create a successful hunting bow as a loyal companion that leaves nothing to be desired in the 3D range.
SWS - SPIDERBOWS limb system
The innovative SWS (Spiderbows Interchangeable System) limb system from Spiderbows offers archers a flexible system for customizing their bows. The brand new Crow middle section with SWS complements the growing SWS range with a new riser in an elegant look. The special feature of the SWS system is that all limbs and risers are easily compatible with each other. This allows archers to swap limbs and risers according to their needs and preferences without having to worry about additional costs for new equipment. This flexibility allows archers to easily and cost-effectively adjust the performance and characteristics of their bow, whether it is for a bow swap or to increase draw weight during training. Another advantage of the SWS system is that the Hawk SWS limbs can also be used on the dark Crow, emphasizing the versatility and compatibility of the system. The SWS limb system from Spiderbows provides archers with an innovative solution for an individual and flexible bow configuration.

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.
