Title: Two piece Shakespears
Post by: Jon Stewart on December 12, 2012, 08:41:00 AM

Was given a bow last night that comes apart at the handle.  It has aluminum on the top and bottom limb just under the shooting shelf that is dove tailed and held together by a screw.

Any info on these?

Ben Pearson maybe? They had a TD version like that.

Only TD Shakespeare had were 3 pc, I think.

Thats the bow Rick and Trap. Sorry about calling it a Shakespeare, guess I was too lazy to go downstairs and look at it.

AND my questions were answered and thanks.

Thats an awesome bow!  I never knew they made a takedown.  Nice find!

Quite a few models of Ben Pearson were available with this 2 pc takedown but the Signature was the most common you'll find these days.
