Traditional Takedowns Question

[Wild]

I’m looking into ordering up a Traditional Longbow as a take down, specifically a Great Northern Bushbow “Jackknife style.

Has anyone shot one of these or something similar?

To answer specifically: no. Otherwise I’m familiar with the jacknife or hinge style and Great Northern. The former gets mixed reviews and the latter great reviews. In other words, so far as I know (which admittedly ain’t very far but as the first responder to your post, I’m offering what little I can), the jacknife take-down isn’t known as the very best but is known as generally workable, while GN is slam-dunk reliable. As so many here so wisely advise us, if at all possible, shoot it before you buy it. ttf

I have the connexion on a centaur that is quiet and flawless. If you do any flying,backpacking,atv,horse packing etc. you will be thankful of the option.Also you can store your prized custom in a gunsafe if you prefer.The only negative is the cost is a little more but well worth it for me.

I got a St. Charles Takedown. It is very similar in design from what I have seen on their internet site. It’s is my go to bow. I think the simple design fits my shooting style quite well.

I have a Fox longbow & a Breed. They are both sleeved bows. The Breed is a recurve with a longbow grip. I really like them. Ron & Debbie King are great people. Ron builds a great bow.
