RE: 1 pc. vs 2 pc. takedown
I haven't shot many 1pc recurves that I like, but I finally found one that I love.... The only downside is you have to replace the entire bow if you want to move up or down in draw weight.
Yourtakedown bows are generally a tad heavier, which I like. And they are convienent for travel.
A bow is such a personal thing, just get out there and try as many as possible.
