two-part bow

[Marc B.]

I really like the socket that Big Jim uses, slickest TD system out there.

I shoot a Big Jim Buffalo 2 piece and find it as solid as any one piece bow.

Well...bigjim, I just ordered some fiberglass earlier today to reinforce some Hill style risers for some socket style 2 pieces.  Just need to watch your videos a few more times before I tackle one.

The takedown system like Big Jims is stronger than the bow. You can check a video of this here and watch the bow explode before the takedown system.

There's nothing more to say, the video says it all

The Hinge system has 2 screws per side right? That kinda scares me. I have a plx with the sleeve TD, and it feels rock solid.

both outstanding when done right...safest...?  BOTH...   I have owned several of both from BW PLs to Great Northerns and Robertsons...I prefer the FEEL of the "Locket Socket" but both work very well.

I've heard of three friends bows breaking with the hinge.
