The take down recurve I have now is a custom made bow. When I ordered it the riser and handle was roughly cut as were the limbs. I sanded the limbs to what poundage I wanted to shoot and then Varnished them and then later I camoed the whole bow. The Riser and the grip was the most work, it took alot of sanding patience to get it the way I wanted. I'm still hunting with that same recurve today 15 years later. Art and the other guys in the Traditional forum have made a alot of them with some good success.
