I am on the fence between a takedown Sitka and a takedown Columbian yet can’t come up with a whole lot of info not on the companies homepage when I do a google search.
I would like to here some reviews from those that own one or have shot one somewhere.
Other than the beauty of these things and the price tag what was your impression?
How did it feel during draw, release.
How did it sound?
How was tuning the bow.
What was your experience getting an arrow to tune well.
Any personal experience you would like to share would be extremely appreciated!
I’ll be posting this in a few places so pass on by if you see it twice:-)!
Best
Jason

A gorgeous bow, finish is probably the highest you can get in a bow, easy to shoot with a very good grip design for my taste, already hunting silent with the (good) stock string at 10.5 gpp arrow weight once you get the proper tuning made . Average speed wise (really not a speed queen) but a really good bow.

My Sitka shoots where it points! It is very quite and shoots well with about ANY arrow within weight/spine range. It is simply a well made solid bow. Would not hesitate to buy another.
Good luck

These are the great northern's quick mount.
Blacktail bow company are selling them. I ordered the quiver with the bow.
Lot of people think those bows are just wall hanger but NO: they are really good hunting bows.

3 different arrow weights shot a few times. I have a 1-2 fps consistency in front of a chronograph. I kept the lowest speed. Bow is marked 53 pounds at 31 inches but 55 at my draw.

It doesn’t mater whether you buy a recurve or LB you’ll end up with both eventually lol
There’s a reason there was a 2 year waiting list before LAN Pope went into business with Norm.
