Product Information

Southwest Archery is a USA based company that has been in the archery industry for over 20 years. They have a vast experience on what an Olympian or a professional archer demand from a traditional bow manufacturer. The Height of a modern Olympic Recurve bow is dictated by a combination of the riser size and the limb size. Combining long limbs with two different size risers will result in two different size bows. The typical Olympic riser size is either 23, 25" and 27". Bow sizing based on archer's Draw Length for Traditional Takedown However, draw weight depends on draw length. The difference of every inch of draw length, draw weight is increase or decrease by 2½ pounds. Suppose your draw length is 28’’ then your recommended draw weight will be 45#. In our buyer’s guide, we showed the process of how you can measure the draw length? Buoyant and Strong Limbs The Sage takedown recurve bow offered a wide range of poundage like 25#, 30# 35#, 40#, 45#, 50#, 55#, and 60#. Thus, 40# or higher is the best choice if you are a seasoned archer. On the other hand, if you are a beginner or young man or adult woman, 30 to 35 pounds draw weight is perfect for you to start. With a 35# bow, you can shoot up to 30 yards distance without any problems. The draw weight of a bow measures how much potential energy the bow can store when it’s drawn, and a bow with a lower draw weight (say, 30 pounds) will store less potential energy and shoot with less force than a bow with a higher draw weight (say, 50 pounds). The higher the draw weight, the stronger the bow, and the faster it shoots.

So, with a takedown bow, because you can remove the limbs, you can start off with a lower draw weight, and when you’re ready, remove the limbs and replace them with stronger ones—making the bow more powerful.

What we think about this bow

Mixed bag; finger tab, arm guard, and fabric quiver included but of lower quality than the bow itself

It will give you options to choose your suitable poundage from its wide range of draw weight starting from 20# to max. 60# and also available in two different bow length 62’’ & 64’’. Remember that with a traditional bow the weight will change depending upon what your draw length is. Bow weight will change approximately ±2½ pounds for every inch from a bows rated draw length. So a bow rated 45# @ 28" bow is roughly a 42½# @ 27" or 47½# @ 29". Draw weight is marked at the nearest 5# increment to actual weight, (2#'s under and 3#'s over). This is an industry wide standard.For a proper archery session, having a few more arrows in the set would have been ideal. However, this minor shortcoming didn’t overshadow the overall excitement of unboxing this impressive recurve bow. Ergonomic Design and Aesthetics As it is easy to separate and easy to connect the limbs, you can use it during your trips to hunting with comfort. Also, if you want to change the limbs in the future for an upgrade to higher poundage, you can do it effortlessly and cost-effectively. The flush bolts and a printed spider with southwest archer logo on limbs provide a more simplified but original look and feel. An Allen wrench included attaching the limbs with the riser.
