What
are the advantages and disadvantages of a Take-down bow?
The take-down bows offered here at KidBow come in 3 pieces,
which
are 2 "limbs" and a "handle" (also called a grip or
a riser).
The 2 limbs (arms) of the bow need to be firmly attached to
the handle before shooting it, according to the instructions of the
particular bow.
>>
The ADVANTAGES of this are that this
style of bow requires less physical space, when taken apart, making it
easier to store and transport.
This also allows for different limb
weights to be attached to the same handle, with the purpose of allowing
for a variety of archers to use the same bow or the same shooter to
tailor the bow to his or her current strength or need. This can work
well in group settings or when a child is becoming stronger and more
proficient.
>>
The DISADVANTAGES of the Take-down
style are that it is a more complicated set-up and requires planning,
forethought and
PROPER ASSEMBLY of
the bow. Some children may be unable to attach the parts together
because of either strength, lack of understanding or carelessness.
Also, because it is 3 separate pieces, parts can be lost.
