Recon Folding Survival Bow
All our bows are proudly made in the USA! The only compact survival bows on the market currently made here and not imported.
Check out this massive wildebeest taken with the small brother of the Recon. The Tactical is a near identical bow when set up, just a bit shorter; but this video shows what the Recon is capable of.
We designed the Recon as a fast deploying compact folding survival bow using modern materials, so that you can fit more gear in your pack (its much less bulky than a takedown recurve bow) and not have to worry about durability in the field. Its unique in our range in that it not only stores takedown arrows inside the riser, but requires no assembly - you simply unfold the limbs and string the bow so there are no parts that can get lost.

(Note: New archers should err on the side of caution and choose lower poundage bows - 55# bows are definitely not recommended for new archers and we have numerous new customers requesting to purchase lighter limbs shortly after the purchase of our 55# bows. A 55# bow is equivalent to about a 70# compound bow in perceived draw effort as you hold the full 55# at your anchor point.). The lowest legal poundage (and possibly 5# upward of that) for hunting in your area is generally recommended if you are a new archer. You will be better able to develop proper form and will be more accurate.
