The purpose for me would be to be able to fit it into my car. I have two sedans and my bows don’t fit. I’m not crazy about the 2-piece design though. Something about my bow breaking down in the middle doesn’t sit well with me. I like 3 piece takedowns.

Steve, unless you’re using a really long bow and a small suitcase, most two-piece bows will fit into luggage. I now have a 54″ shrew 2-piece, but have had up to 64″ 2-piece take-downs and flew with every one, no problem. For the most part on hunting trips my “suitcase” is a duffel bag. I carry my bow in a soft case well wrapped with clothing, in the center of the duffel. Arrows go into a plastic tube. You could of course use a hard tube for the bow as well. Certainly if you wanted to travel with a longer bow and smaller luggage, a 3-piece would be superior. But there’s more to the choice than travel convenience. The standard 3-piece has a fairly massive and extended handle section to accept and support the bolts at either end. Folks who are used to shooting recurves with this style of handle will feel right at home with the average 3-piece. Two-piece bows tend to have smaller handle sections, often indistinguishable from slender one-piece bows, and therefore feel more natural to longbow shooters. To each his own but make mine 2-piece.

I think there are some duffels now with wheels…
