How well do you think it shoots?
The price is not bad either haha

 

It should shoot as good as the archer can shoot instinctivly. It would be handy for camping.

 

I've met the guy who came up with the thing and have shot one a few times. That was 2 or 3 years ago. As it states it is for survival.
It's not comfortable to hold or shoot. The idea of the two piece arrows I thought was pretty slick. It's not a bow I would want to shoot
unless my life depended on it. It's not a real accurate bow and takes alot of practice to get used to it.
I believe the one I shot had 60 lb limbs and at the time they were working on 70 pounders.

 

But a great thing to have for survival still?

 

I believe it's a nitch market. A conversation piece, something different to show your friends or whoever.
To be honest if I knew there was any chance of me being in a servival situation I would be packing a takedown recurve.
Much lighter, more accurate and just as easy to carry.

 

I think it would be something to throw under the seat in the pick up, and mess with when you're out camping or just bored. If it's survival im either lost with my compound, or lost with a rifle. In a SHTF situation, I'm taking the AR.

 

i have shot one and it was far better than expected,,,, it will work,

 

better off buying a samick sage for a little more for a much better bow because the sage can be takendown, in my honest opinion i would not want to use that bow for survival

 

Personally I would leave the survival bow behind and take a gun. If my survival depends on it, a .22 rifle is hard to beat. Henry has their survival model

 

Yup .22 but for the apocalypse I'd have an american-180 lol

 

I've got better things to spend my money on LOL.

 

Interesting concept. Just don't have a personal need.

 

So i remember posting this a while back to see what everyone thought about it. I pretty much had the same opinion as everyone else. Neat idea, but wasnt sure how practical itd be... Well ive recently taken another interest in it and looked at the website. This thing has nothing but 5 stars from everyone who has purchased it... See for yourself! Now i dont see this as being the absolute best bow out there, but with everyone saying how much they like it i have to imagine its pretty decent.... Considering buying one to put in a bug out bag. Check it out and let me know what u guys think

Id rather have the WishBown by Chirico Archery or Gearhead archery's T15 sling blade

 

Just took a look at those, they are very interesting.

Of course they are going to give their own product 5 stars LMAO you really think they would post anything negative.

 

That did actually cross my mind, but they have like 8 long pages of just 5s...

A Friend has one of the Steel take Down Longbows, that was dropped during WWII over Denmark.
According to a Museum, it is Original, and the only known surviving bow.

I like that one better than than the folding model.

 

Anyone on the forum that has one of these things that could shed some light on the subject?

I've been shooting one of these for a year now. Yea, it's really just a fun toy.
Durability:
The stings are stone mountain B-50. The only issue I've had with the strings is that my microlite nocks chewed up the center serving, but those are tight nocks. The flemish strings PGU sells seem to work better, but you can probably find something ideal at Lancaster. I've had no issues with the riser or the limbs. There is a youtube review by Oregon Survival Network showing the guy unstringing the bow after being strung for a year in all weather and they went straight right away. The bolts that attach the limbs to the riser are the weak point. They seem to be an anodized stainless steel rather than the aircraft aluminum of the riser. This means that they can corrode after a few years of mistreatment. But so will any bow string. My gripe is that they do not offer replacements on their website. Sure, you can probably email them and they'll send you replacements, but I'd rather they admit this and just offer them.

Coming from shooting indoor compound, I expected a learning curve and stuck with it. The limbs do stack a lot. Even with the 55# limbs, my 26" draw feels like it's only pushing 40-45#, most in the last two inches. Accuracy-wise, I think it shoots on par with any of the beginner range recurves. That said, the biggest issue in learning to shoot this bow is the grip. Since there is no real grip, getting a consistant bow hand takes a lot of repetition. The grip is better than other folding survival bows, though. One such bow riser is essentially a metal 2x4 with a plastic rest glued on the side!

Conclusion: It is fun to shoot, but not practical for most people. It could be practical only if you spent a bit of time and money finding the right arrows (which I have not, yet) and get enough practice. I call it my Sunday-funday bow, and it's a blast.

 

Cool conversation piece.

I'd rather have a Ruger 10/22 Takedown if my life was depending upon a survival weapon.

 

The only thing im worried about with these are the limbs... They seem very slim width wise. Would this affect the lifespan of the limbs? Also they are made of fiberglass, is this as good as carbon?

Couldn't really see it very well. Every time I clicked it it tried to get me to install the Pinterest app and well I'm hetero so that isn't happening. From what I did see if times get that bleak I guess I could use it to shoot myself in the head.

Exactly brother...

 

Saw these on Amazon and alot of the reviews were saying limbs were installed backwards, etc. If you do end up getting one I would give it a look over.

 

It's designed to be reversible, meaning you can assemble it for right or left eye shooting. If I remember correctly, this was in the instruction book. Of course there are all kinds of negative reviews for any product by people who didn't bother to read the instructions. Just sayin'

 

They do look prettu cool. But ive got my sammick sage set up halfway as a survival bow
