Takedown bow A bow that is assembled out of a
riser and separate limbs to make a complete bow. [1]
The primary advantage of the takedown design is that it can be transported in a much shorter case when disassembled. The secondary advantage is that one takedown riser can be configured multiple ways using different types of limbs to fit the archer's needs.
A riser is the center section of a bow on which the limbs are attached, and it is also where the archer holds the bow.
The limbs are the parts of a bow that bend when the string is drawn. The string is attached at each end of the limbs and this gives propelling force to the arrow.
An archer can have more than one set of limbs for the same takedown riser.
Stronger limbs give a greater draw weight, which will impart more force to the arrow. But stronger limbs require the archer to do more work to pull the string back, and more effort to hold back while aiming.
Longer or shorter limbs can be used to change the length of the bow for convenience or to match the preference of the archer.
