RE: Takedown vs. Regular
 

AP , how is the integrity of Rudderbows ? I really like one of the bows on there. Do you know of anyone who has purchased from them before ?

Also, other than reduced hand shock, what would the pistol grip option do ? Really thinking about getting the Bamboo laminated Bubinga bow. Price is right. Cheaper than others I've seen using that wood.

I don't know anyone personally, slugman,but I've seen some customer posts about them on another forum and nobody seemed to be displeased.

I think the real advantage of the pistol grip isn't so much to reduce hand shock as it is to give you consistent hand placement every time you grab the bow.

As far as the wood choice , bubinga is a very "strong" wood correct ? The yew & osage are a little more than I want to pay. I havent picked up my bow with the "training wheels" in quite some time. Been shooting the recurve pretty much daily nowadays.

I've had quite a few bows with bubinga risers but never one that used bubinga as limb stock.I never knew you could get bubinga bow staves until I sawthey offerered that bow.[:-]It's a hard wood with tight wood grain, soI'd imagine it'd make a very good bow.

Although I have a take-down, I rarely do take the limbs off it. If I choose to go up or down in weight, I have that option with this bow by getting different limbs.Also, as someone mentioned earlier, you can replace damaged limbs. You just never know what could happen to a limb during a bow's hunting adventures.
