Great bow. excellent workmanship. I heartily recommend it. Great communication with the seller - Doug is happy to answer any questions. I am very pleased with the purchase. Greetings from Poland 🙂👍.

Shoots accurate, built like a tank! I'm a regular recurve and longbow archer. I bought this to keep in my truck or pack wo fear of limbs being damaged in the hot car. This “thing”, “beast” aka AK47 of the bow world is almost indestructible. But it shoots almost as well as my target competition bows. Unlike my other bows this one is always handy in my car for wherever I am to pull it out of its case, set it up, string it n shoot in less than 2 minutes flat. This thing is so dang strong, if after knocking down game w your last arrow you find you didn’t get a clean kill.....use the SAS as a club to humanly put the deer out of its misery. Love this bow. Well thought out. I also have Spectre Nomad, and though I like it, the Nomad’s durability does not compare at all to the SAS!**update**. Forgot to mention the bow shoots off center ie the “Archer’s Paradox”. It is meant to shoot a tad off center, it is the design as it doesn’t have an inlay arrow shelf. After 5 minutes you get used to it! Same as most Indian/Native American bows would be, ie no shelf but an arrow rest. Also when you get you arrows you may need to turn the nick a bit w pliers to make sure your odd colored feather faces out from the bow. Great quality!!

Love the quality. Made of high grade aluminum. The perfect arrow for the SAS Survival Takedown Bow.

I love the fact that I now have a very powerful & hackable survival tool.

This is a verified purchase review. First and foremost the company CEO was an absolute pleasure to do business with. I'd accidentally ordered the "Tactical" version of their folding bow and upon emailing him attempting to cancel the order to get the "Recon" instead, he did cancel the order, and sent the Recon without charging me for the difference between the two! Furthermore, his responses via email were always prompt and very helpful. Excellent, and I do mean EXCELLENT customer service.Now onto the bow. I'd done my research on this product for a while prior to buying it (there are many videos about it on YouTube). Its made of a T6 aerospace grade aluminium so its about impossible to break this thing with it's intended use. After owning it for a week and putting about 250 arrows through it, I have to say I am in love with this product. Its very lightweight, comfortable, sturdy and actually quite intuitive. It's very easy to setup and quick to deploy. It feels so comfortable in the hands, when i brought it out for a training session I could not seem to put it down. I ended up shooting over 200 arrows through it in one sitting and kept shooting until my fingers finally got tender/numb from charging the string. It was maybe my 3rd time ever using a bow, and for a complete novice I was actually nailing the target after a short time. 10% of the shots were a direct bullseye from between 10-15 yards. By the time I finished that first two hour practice session I was confident in my ability to hit the target shooting fast and 'instinctively'. If it wasnt for my novice fingers getting swollen I would have been out there all day with this thing. Actually came back out a bit later and put a few more arrows through it despite that. I cannot wait to get back outside with it. This is my first ever bow and I literally couldn't be happier with my purchase.When folded down it fits inside my INCH bag, quiver/carry case and all, and holds the three SAS takedown arrows inside the riser (it can store up to 5) allowing for convenient pack up & deployment. This is an incredibly well thought out and engineered product and makes a superb, solid piece of kit for hunting & survival. This thing looks and feels like it is built to last. Worth every penny and then some. Might just get another for the wife since she liked it too. I highly recommend giving this product a shot. You will NOT be disappointed.

This is compact and gets the job done if you would ever need it. Completely honest about it's description.

It's pretty awesome. Setup takes a little getting used to, but it's a 60 inch longbow that packs down to 21 inches. Can't beat that.

Shoots accurate, built like a tank! I am a regular recurve and longbow archer. I bought this to keep in my truck or pack wo fear of limbs being damaged in the hot car. This “thing”, “beast” aka Timex of the bow world is almost indestructible. But it shoots almost....almost ( serious competition bow it is not, serious rugged hunting bow it is) as well as my target competition bows. Unlike my other bows this one is always handy in my car for wherever I am to pull it out of its case, set it up, string it n shoot in less than 2 minutes flat. This thing is so dang strong, if after knocking down game w your last arrow you find you didn’t get a clean kill.....use the SAS as a club to humanely put the deer/hog/bear out of its misery. Love this bow. Well thought out. I also have a Spectre Nomad, and though I like it, the Nomad’s durability does not compare at all to the SAS! I’m not sure the Nomad could be stored safely in a car in California’s 105 degree summer days wo warping. The SAS could easily withstand any earthly temperatures, as it is all metals. With all due respect, to some other reviewers, it is very hard to buy a quality bow for under $150, and bows never come w arrows, so not sure why some complain about its price or lack of arrows. Only kids bows come w arrows often w the suction cup Broadheads. I never see adult bows come w arrows unless it is a cheap piece of garbage or a novice bow. For the materials this manufacturer uses, it is a great value. It is not at all pretty, but beyond efficient at the purpose it was built for, ie compact indestructible always ready bow.

5 stars by far. My personal first Longbow, but not first bow in general. i shoot Competition Compound and i do know my stuff about quality bows fairly well. i have shot 600$ Bear recurves and longbows before so let me explain. This bow will out last those by far. also this bow does not stack nearly as much as most in this price range, and above. also a big game changer is being able to shoot vanes, unlike its closet Rival the PGU that shoots off a shelve and cannot. another thing better about this is Bow is its ability to fold and store takedown arrows inside the riser. i carry 3 but you can fit 4 or possibly 5. it fits in almost all backpacks because it folds into 21 inches. (side note, i thought the bag was gonna cheap plasticy thin umbrella like material. but it is not. its thick canvas. also i have people heard that the PGU is better cause you don't have to switch one limb so it assembles quicker. first off, you're never gonna be in a survival situation and be able to string your bow, nock an arrow and mange to kill game. its 1 in a trillion. if you're going hunting, your bow will be prepared and strung. plus the carry bag doubles as quiver (tip, keep the string plastic bag so you can put it back in when you fold the bow, because it does have velcro latch thing for the pouch in the bow bag, and the string could possible get caught in it and cause a strand or so to tear)

Made in the USA, with the best customer service in the industry!The owner is such a great guy who is really responsive to questions and concerns.You don't get this kind of craftsmanship, expertise, and support from overseas importers.Support US companies who actually care about their products and customers!

This bow seems to be almost indestructible. Very good quality, it is a very strong bow. I am very proud and satisfied of my acquisition, a USA made one.
Will buy the Scout in a near future.
The SAS service is very professional and full of commitment.

Left in the cold snow for a month and still works like a charm

I bought the compact long bow with a little trepidation. I had not shot a longbow or a recurve since I was a kid. I had been shooting compounds for 20 years. Any fears were misplaced. The bow went together easily. It strung easily. The string centered on the bow easily. It shot great. It was faster than I expected. And, I just carried it all over Maine in a backpack, just because I could. I wasn’t even hunting anything. Just stuck it in my normal day pack and it was a breeze to carry. So far, I love it.

I own two bows, the tactical and the Recon. Both are amazing, well built, strong, and dependable. I have peace of mind know I have a long term option for food if ever in a pinch. I would definitely recommend that everyone should own 1 of these at a .minimum.

High quality and shoots pretty darn accurately. Will definitely recommend getting yourself one if you are on the fence.
