Are takedown bows just as smooth and quite to draw, or are some models known to be too creeky for hunting...?
I'm looking at a Bear Hunter Takedown in real nice shape, very similar to the one on sale on here. Opinions on the bow?
Have never used a takedown, the last thing I want to noise on the draw.
I did have a TD bow once that I had to put strips of that adhesive felt stuff in between the limbs and riser to quiet it down. I have had a few other TD longbows and recurves that did not need any aftermarket modification to be as quiet as a one piece.
I've had several TD bows that developed a creak while drawing.....a bit of string wax on the riser where the limbs bolt on, cured everyone one of them.
great tips, thanks
bob lee comes with some pretty thin gasket looking rubber material...was pretty dang quiet! no messing around with anything!
