As most of you know, I’m\u00a0a big fan of anything related to Archery. Be it compound, recurve, or crossbow. I have been competition shooting since I was 8 years old and just love the sport for the technical aspect.<\/p>\n

In doing some research into equipment needed for my emergency bug out bag<\/a> I came across a new product called the SAS tactical survival bow. This is a collapsible bow that’s made by a company called survival archery systems.<\/a>\u00a0It’s so small that it can fit neatly into a backpack or hidden away under the seat of your car.<\/p>\n

As a prepper, I like the option of being able to conceal the bow. I can go on a hike and still feel like I’m in control if some situation arises. The assembly will only take a few minutes and once you have done it a few times I’m sure you could cut this time down to under a minute.<\/p>\n

SAS tactical takedown recurve bow review<\/h2>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

This collapsible longbow is the ultimate weapon being able to be\u00a0concealed in your backpack. As a survivalist or prepper its the perfect tool for hunting or personal protection while staying as quiet as can be.<\/p>\n

The riser and limb brackets are aerospace grade aluminum which has a black anodizing\u00a0process that gives it it’s\u00a0non-reflective coating. The limbs are composite and are made in the good old USA for quality.<\/p>\n

\"sas<\/p>\n

Each limb has the draw weight marked for easy recognition if you need.\u00a0This SAS (Survival Archery Systems) bow is available in a range of size options of 45lb, 50lb and 55lb at 28″ draw length. This means you can order the correct string poundage pull for your comfort and game hunting.<\/p>\n

What I Like<\/h3>\n

What I really like is that it’s so small and compact when its folded up, but still can hold a bunch of stopping power when fully extended. It weighs in at only 2.2lbs (1kg) and measuring just 21″ (537mm) when in the storage mode means its very compact.<\/p>\n

With arrow speeds topping 200fps at the 55lb model I know it has some serious stopping power if required. I shoot with my right hand so this means my right arm is pulling the drawstring. The SAS collapsable bow is available in right and left-hand versions. So it’s important to know what hand you use to pull the string with.<\/p>\n

It’s not as powerful as my other survivalist compound bow<\/a> but that’s to be expected. Totally different markets and uses.<\/p>\n

I like that I can carry 3 teardown arrows and fletchings inside of the body of this collapsible bow. You can pack up to 5 fletchings inside but there won’t be any room for the other 5 ends of the arrow. So these have to be stored elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\"sas<\/p>\n

My bow must have been one of the earlier models as I had the steel retaining hinge cap screws. Over time these tend to rattle out. But this is not a big deal. I just retighten them up. I may try some blue Locktite\u00a0to see if that stops them from coming\u00a0lose. According to the video below, they are not even required to shoot but just for aesthetics. The version 2 has nylon screws.<\/p>\n
