No issues- this system works great! Big Jim and Cari-bow use it also. Rock solid! The only benefit that a Bow-bolt has vs this system is the extra weight.
Never.
Nothing but good things to say.
I have 2 Caribow Slynx T/D's.
No negatives to report.
I have a Big Jim and not a single issue. Great system.
I didn't love it as I was never 100% sure I was fully seated with the one I had. Prefer the bow bolt.
Have 3 bows with this system. I think it's the best take down method there is.
Got a Big Jim thunderchild with this system and I really like it. Very convenient as a quick no-tool takedown system. Bow-bolt is good to, especially with the extra weight it adds if you like extra mass in your riser.
I have a BW PLX T/D just like your picture.Works great no complaints,solid.Looks just like a one-piece,I like that!Feels like it added alittle mass weight.
I have 3 2 piece longbows. They all work well. 2 have metal sleives one has the fiber. I have a Big Jims, a Morrison, and a Wes Walace.

Big Jim's TC 2 piece. As said, rock solid :thumbsup:
On my Big Jim Thunderchild no issues have arised,the only think you have to do is to lubrificate with Vaseline if it is too tight or use wax if it is too loose.
Iv never had a problem with this system and every bow iv had like this have been over 65# and up to 102# you wont have a problem with this system
Done right I don't think there is anything better.
Hello:
I have the "locket-socket" design on both Black Widow and A&H Archery bows. No problems, ever. The design is as strong as a single piece bow. Black Widow has an instructional DVD showing Ken Beck testing the joint's strength in a Hydraulic press. The force needed to break the two-piece joint was the same as for its one-piece riser.
Regards,
Kevin
My second question is :)
Who can make locket socket on my bow ?
Your recommendations please :)
I will build bow with all necessary reinforcements , just need workshop who will make td system
I think the general consensus as I have seen it debated over the years is that a one piece bow should remain a one piece bow. Two piece bows are conceived and designed as such from the beginning. However there is a retrofit kit available from, I believe Fisk Archery.
We sell the kits and I have instructions on our website or youtube to do it yourself. if you can build a bow, you can install this TD system.
I wish I could say that I invented this system but of course I did not.
I will say that if there was a better TD system out there, I'd be using it.
Many many hundred out there and counting with 0 failures.
Thanks, bigjim
I don't know what those are made of but, I had a Jack Harrison two piece like those shown above and it was made of carbon fiber, very strong and I never had a problem.

My friend making very good bows , but his have some hostility for this locket socket system .
Can you make this for me ? We can stop in any point bow building , to be easy for you .......
My BW PLX T/D is rock solid. But be careful if applying string wax prior to putting it together as was recommended. I applied too much wax and had a very difficult time pulling it apart for a trip. It took two of us with a lot of effort. Other than that it is a great system.

From what I have ferreted out from research and questions on this site the above design is the least favorite and is no longer being used by any bowyer. Unfortunately I shoot this bow absolutely skookum and it is going nowhere.
There is a guy in Alaska that learned the take-down conversion system (lockit socket)from Jack Harrison.
I think he charges $250. I almost got him to do it, but in the end I chickened out on cutting my beloved Super D.
You can contact him at stringworksalaska@gmail.com. His name is Chris Kilgore
Oh, it will shift the "center of the bow a little forward when doing the conversion if I remember right
With to all respect , to all . But i trust in hand of this Big guy :-)
love my Big Jim take down
