Hey guys i am looking at getting a new bow. a longbow to be specific. i am pondering whether i want a two peice take down or a one piece bow. i have a martin jaguar recurve right now and to be honest i like once piece better. i was just wondering what are other peoples thought the subject? thanks

take a good look at Big Jims 2pc taedown bows...can't even tell that they're not a 1pc

Two piece is the way to go if you travel at all.

Two piece is the way to go even if you don't travel.

Either is good.  But I like the convenience of the 2 pc when traveling.

I have 3 two-pieces from Big Jim, the take down option is nice even if you're traveling by car

I think it mostly depends on whether you are planning to only have two bows...tricky to end up with just what you want on the second bow and first longbow

I set out a while ago to reduce my herd of 40 bows...And I am finally down to 42

Get a 2 piece for now. Very beneficial for traveling by air, etc,etc. Save up for a one piece if you fancy that.

Love my one piece but miss the 2 pc. After a hard day hunting, just take the bow apart, throw in the back quiver and walk out hands free. Comes in handy  when you need 2 hands to drag a deer out.

At times I would strap it to my Catquiver or in the back quiver when heading into my stand in the dark.It was nice having both hands free and I see no difference in performance between the one piece or two.

I prefer one piece - but then I either walk or drive to my hunting and shooting locations.

Remember that a lot of 2 piece bows add mass weight.  If you like longbows for their lightness, that may change.

The grip size is larger on some styles as well.

I love and appreciate a 2 piece, but there's something about a 1 piece that calls to me,
