CM SALE: Scout Takedown Survival Bow
Scout Compact Takedown Longbow (Made in the USA) - Arrows and accessories not included - bow only
Need a bow you can rely on? All our bows are proudly made in the USA! The only compact survival bows on the market currently made here and not imported. We appreciate you supporting American jobs where you can.
Made in the USA, the SAS Scout Compact Takedown Survival Bow is the smaller brother of the Ranger Compact Takedown Survival Bow. Designed by experienced engineers who have designed it to withstand many decades of use, this is one of the fastest deploying compact bows on the market. Unlike its bigger brother it does not stores takedown arrows inside the riser. This option allows for a more rounded grip and is meant for users who either shoot full length arrows or are storing takedown arrows elsewhere in greater number anyways. Both the Scout and the Ranger bows use a push style longbow grip, so they are comfortable, but the Scout's grip is more comfortable to carry.
Converting from left to right hand by simply flipping the limbs around and restringing and the fact that no special tools are required for operation and maintenance, makes this bow easy to use when shared between multiple archers or unit members. Also capable of accepting accessories such as sights, quivers and screw in arrow rests, look no further than theScout for a compact and accurate weapon for your backpack.
Check out the menu tab, "Overview - Which bow should I choose" on our website for more detailed info on our different bows. Also check out some shooting of the Scout together with Chris from PreparedMind101.
(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.

High quality and shoots pretty darn accurately. Will definitely recommend getting yourself one if you are on the fence.
Works very well and very comfortable. I would listen to their advice and choose wisely regarding the pull pound rating you chose.
Repair your roof, while the sun is shining.
Prepare to hunt, ahead of time, using the best survival bow and accessories. I’ve been there, and done that. I recommend it.
I’m on my 5th trip with my bow now going backpacking, everywhere I go people are amazed with the craftsmanship and the details it’s a longbow from the future very happy with my bow
Very fun bow to use and take with you easily with its ability to easily be taken down and thrown in a pack. I don’t have any other experience with long bows, however I would say I quickly got comfortable enough to try hunting with it within a couple months of practice. I believe my bow is as accurate as I can get it at this stage of my traditional archery path, which is pretty good if I’m comfortable enough to ethically harvest an animal with it. I would definitely recommend this bow to all skill levels but especially someone not sure if they will like traditional archery without spending $400.
