This is my takedown bow, more of a shorter longbow with slightly recurved tips than a full recurve. It's 55 pounds at 28 inches and really drives an arrow hard.

Just a quick video for you guys showing this bow off. I'll be showing you all how to make a similar takedown bow soon. Yes, it is a takedown bow, you just pull the two halves apart and you end up with the bow in two pieces. I'll post a video soon of this bow in detail.

When shot through the chronograph, this bow sent a 435 gr. arrow, on average, at a speed of 146.1 fps. It shot a 700 gr. arrow at 138.2 fps. Not bad for an all pvc bow, it drives the heavier arrows better than some solid fiberglass recurves.

Thanks for watching and enjoy!

P.S. - The bow shoots consistently, if it looks like there are any problems with accuracy, blame the archer, not the bow. I really need to pick a bow and stick with it. Switching around with different bows does not help my shooting prowess very much.
