Take-Down Bows from Bearpaw Products – Tradition Meets Flexibility in Archery

Passion for Archery

Archery has fascinated people around the world for centuries – whether as a pastime, a sporting challenge, or a way to reconnect with ancient traditions. Intuitive and traditional archery are becoming increasingly popular because they bring body and mind into harmony. At Bearpaw Products, we are fully dedicated to the traditional bow – with a special focus on our modular take-down bows, which inspire both beginners and experienced archers alike.

The Structure of a Take-Down Bow

A take-down bow is defined by its detachable design. Unlike the classic “self bow,” which is made from a single piece of wood, the take-down bow consists of several components:

• Riser: The heart of the bow, crafted from fine woods or modern materials. It provides stability and serves as the foundation for individual adjustments.
• Limbs: Attached to the riser, they are responsible for power transfer when shooting. Different limb models allow you to configure the bow as a traditional recurve or with the character of a straight longbow.
• Screws & Fastening Systems: Ensure a secure fit while still allowing quick assembly and disassembly.
• String: Connects the limbs and brings the bow into shooting condition.

This creates a flexible system that combines the advantages of a traditional recurve bow with modern modularity.

Step by Step: From Parts to a Ready-to-Shoot Bow

So that your take-down bow is ready within minutes, follow these assembly steps:

Prepare the riser: Place the riser on a soft surface to protect it from scratches.

Attach the limbs: Secure the limbs to the top and bottom of the riser with screws or a slot system. Ensure correct alignment – the curve should face forward.

Tighten the screws: Tighten the fastenings evenly so no tension builds in the material.

Attach the string: Use a stringer to safely string the bow without risk of injury.

Fine-tuning: Check the brace height (distance between string and riser) and adjust it to achieve optimal shooting results.

After these steps, your traditional recurve bow is ready to shoot – a true companion for instinctive archery.

Advantages of the Take-Down System

Why choose a take-down bow? Simple: it combines the soul of the traditional bow with the flexibility of modern technology. The advantages are clear:

• Modularity: Different limbs allow for custom draw weights, lengths, and designs. The bow adapts to the archer – not the other way around.
• Easy transport: When disassembled, the bow fits into almost any case and is perfect for travel or training on the go.
• Durability: Individual parts can be replaced at any time without needing to buy a completely new bow.
• Custom variety: Whether classic and simple or made with special woods – our Bearpaw options offer a wide range to suit every taste.

Especially for archers who value traditional shooting, this flexibility is a real advantage. On the one hand, various limb options allow you to adjust multiple parameters – while the bow as a whole remains true to its traditional essence.

Accessories for Take-Down Bows: On-Bow Quivers

Alongside the bows themselves, we also offer matching accessories. Our on-bow quivers are especially popular, as they can be attached directly to the take-down bow. These quivers are designed to hold arrows securely and within reach – without carrying extra gear on your body. This keeps your shooting experience authentic, comfortable, and true to traditional archery.

Every archer has different preferences – that’s why we offer a take-down bow configurator in our online shop. Step by step, you can build your dream bow: choose the riser, combine it with the right limbs, select your draw weight, and find the look that matches your style.
