RE: compact folding survival bow (heavy with pictures)
I'm loving the look of this bow, but my archery skills suck, at this moment in time i'd have more success if i threw it!
Deffo keeping this on the shopping list, even for the dircreet prepper who has a nosey OH, this can be hidden almost anywhere in the house!

are you looking to adopt? haha, it'd make a change from socks and gift vouchers for shops i'd never go in to!
in some cases, those with the least to say, say the most.....

RE: compact folding survival bow (heavy with pictures)
folding bow is to much money. you want a simple re-curve and practice everyday with it. if your out in the wild learn to use your knife and how to create a bow from a piece of willow.

RE: compact folding survival bow (heavy with pictures)
Anyone know what other companies in the uk sell this bow as I'm having trouble finding anywhere.
Looks like a good bit of kit.
I see your point Controversy but if your in a SHTF situation you don't want to be trying to carve a bow you want one in your hand ready to use. Hopefully this one will be hard wearing as well.

RE: compact folding survival bow (heavy with pictures)
you can make a bow out of any bendy stick, it wont last too long but you can be making a better one during the time you are using that one, i made a bow out of a hazel rod on a bow making course, took about 5 hours in total including lunch!!!

RE: compact folding survival bow (heavy with pictures)
The basic concept of the bow is a good idea, and at £120 you could say it's worth a try. Reading the report supplied in NR's link I see the bow "stacks" quite a bit. When a bow is said to "stack" it means as you pull the bow it will get progressively harder and reach a point where it "feels" like the limbs won't draw any further. This will make the bow a little less sweeter to shoot, but once you get used to it it shouldn't make much difference.
But God it is ugly

RE: compact folding survival bow (heavy with pictures)
It looks rather skinny around the hand grip area. I wonder how it will stand up to round the clock use in the field? [/u]
