What is a "takedown" recurve bow mean?

You can take it apart. It comes in three pieces top limb bottom limb and Handel

The two white limbs can be detached from the central riser section of the bow by removing the string and then loosening two bolts on the top and bottom of the riser. This makes it conisderably easier to travel with the bow vs a one piece recurve that cannot break down into smaller sections.

Generally a "Takedown Recurve Bow" can be taken down or apart (reduced in size) to fit into a smaller storage area, case or bag.

You can unstring the bow then remove the upper and lower limbs from the riser for ease of transporting the bow.

I bought the bow and thought the same thing. I took my chances and was happy to see #55 written on the bow,witch means the draw weight is 55 pounds. They made a typo you know, it hap ends all the time.

If you can take deer with a 55 lb draw recurve, you could take one with this. I am very happy with it

this bow is more appropriate for younger kids, more like 7-10. For a 15yr old I'd be looking at a low end adult bow, maybe 40-60lb draw depending on the size of the boy. A decent take-down bow in the 35-40lb range might be a good option if you are looking at something portable and not compound

Yes, I purchase this combo for my compound bow but discovered they will fit my Samick takedown recurve bow as well.

I don't have a recurve but most likely... It is a much larger case than expected and think for something as compact as a recurve(especially with detachable limbs) I would look for something much smaller. I bought it for a Mathews ZXT with parallel limbs and there is a TON of extra, unused space. Just my 2 cents!

It works great for a traditional bow, I prefer these on my traditional recurve than my compound bow. Hope this helps

I'm not too used to compound bows so i could not do much comparing for you but in my opinion, I would say that this is a good intermediate bow as far as recurve bows go. If your looking for a good intermediate recurve, i think you'll be pleased with this.

I recommend a whisker biscuit for recurve. This will not work at all, because a compound bow has the needed down line to pull the rest up.

My crossbow shoots at 350fps and it stops the bolts great. Shooting a recurve you probably are well under 300fps so this is overkill and you could just use a standard yellow jacket for compound bows and the arrows will be easier to pull.

They do work for a recurve bow. I have a new recurve bow and I like them. Just be aware of pulling out of targets, sometimes the tips come apart, but the owner is great with replacements.

Decent intermediate bow. 55 #'s is very hard to pull back for a recurve, however. I shoot a 70# compound, and I wish I maybe got 45-50# recurve. Great bow though, and easy to take apart.

Those numbers represent how hard it is to pull the bowstring back to your cheek. 20# means that if an average size person pulled the bowstring back to his or her cheek then his or her fingers would be using 20 pounds of force. New archers are advised to use a very light pull bow. My adult students start with the 20 pound bow and don't move up until their technique is good.

This bow is called a compound bow. It is very much like the ones used in hunting. The three strings make it easier for a person to draw back the arrow as compared to a single string premitive bow. It is a great beginner bow. Use the arrows that the manufacter suggests. They can be bought at Amazon.

I don't think you can safely decock this bow or any other bows. I bought a $10 Carbon Express release bolt that is designed for shooting into the ground.

Hello,I haven't seen that video. What can suggest, look for some of them on Youtube (a lot of videos how to use recurve bows). Buffalo is not my first recurve mongolian bow and is harder to string than for example Samick's but it's not impossible. Do it slowly and carefully, like every recurve bow can be easy damaged by uneven stringing ends or by rotating limbs. Good luck.some links:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gak6iSjF52whttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17Y3IprEdFU

You will need a bow restringer to remove the string which should be done after shooting to preserve the limbs and string. You can mutually break it down but you risk twisting the limbs. The limb bolts are tightened and loosened by hand. Have fun!!
