It’s a good idea.. Unfortunately, the fletchings get distorted if kept in the riser and you lose all your accuracy. So you have to carry arrows separately, which means you might as well carry a traditional, takedown field bow, which is only slightly less compact, can be setup just as fast, but will be lighter, have better accuracy, range and stopping power @ 50lb .... But if you do feel the need for a compact metal bow, PGU is the same weight, fits in a pack, it takes 10 seconds to set up, it has the same power and a stepped riser, making it more accurate ... And It’s 30% cheaper....
You sound like you know what your talking about and just introduced me to the idea of a takedown field bow. awesome ima research this, I need something stealth to hunt small game behind my house but I gotta pass a few homes to get there and people passing by etc.. I’m trying to look up pgu if that’s a bow or if you have any others you’d recommend. Thanks

Nice bit of kit but not really applicable in the UK unless shtf as bow hunting is illegal in the UK and with UK law my be considered a concealed weapon and you may find yourself foul of old bill
That's correct, the UK is on of the few who banned it years ago. It's legal just about everywhere else (mainly for game management) - you can even pop over to France to bow hunt if you wanted..! Here in the UK you can still hone your skills and go field archery. Far better than boring old target archery. It's the nearest thing these days and great practice...
Jaggy Little Thistle bows in the Uk come under the heading of sporting goods not weapons. Provided you use some common sense where you shoot it you should have no problems with the law.
+UK Preppers Guide my guess is that it's gonna start stacking after 38 inches, but I'm a big boy with a 31 inch draw! , if you get one and you don't like it flog it to me please! , I'm that desperate for one of these that I might make my own :)x
Hi Brian, yes it's a good bit of kit, and will definitely take down bigger game. There is now a limited edition version that is slightly longer, but does not need you to reverse one of the limbs. I shall be reviewing that one soon.
Hiya Ruff.... If your in the UK : www.survivalarcherysystems.co.uk/collections/all Just the bow: £199 / Take down arrows: £59.99 Thats the price as of today 1st June.
Looks like a very good tool and it's good to see it tested by someone in the UK too.
Groovy.
Yeah, it's very good and very well made too.
Well worth the investment.
@@TheWrinklyNomads did you have to import duty ? Am keen to order one. Great video. Thanks for this, good to see a UK dude reviewing it.
Very nice and very concise not to many reviewers or product demonstrators stay on point great job.
Riser fitted incorrectly here. Check Doug Shadwell's video on how to attach it

@@cliveloosley8018 oh dang
I have the Ranger version. Great bow!
(btw, flap on arrow rest points toward the target, not up)
Hi Steve, yes, I realised that about a week after I’d finished the video 🤦♂️
Every days a school day eh…!!!
@@TheWrinklyNomads 5 years ago when you made this vid I had never even shot a bow yet, so I know exactly what you're saying!
That intro is amazing
Thank you Abu 👍
Great review!
Nice bow
I'd take this, tactical combat sword, combat dagger and a tactical combat spear, if the world goes haywire any time between 2030 and 2050.
You should put a link to the manufacturer, saves me having to google, and helps out their ranking ;)
Is this the one from Amazon
