Tactical Compact Modern Longbow
Compact Tactical Modern Longbow (Made in the USA) - Note assembly requirement below - 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 Tactical Survival Bow has been designed by experienced engineers who have designed it to withstand many decades of use. It is capable of fitting into a small survival bag AND is able to protect your arrows from damage. They store inside the riser.
The bow employs a novel compact folding system design which allows for a quick conversion from folded storage mode to a weapons-ready state. Note: requires reversal of one limb during assembly; no tools required. Please see our videos. With arrow speeds topping 200fps this is the perfect silent weapon for where firearms and more bulky bows cannot be used or easily carried.
Converting from left to right hand by simply swapping the bow between hands 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. The bow comes with a camo carry case that can be worn as a bow backpack, but converts into a quiver for both left and right handed archers. Look no further than the SAS Tactical Survival Bow when looking for the perfect all-round silent tactical or bug-out bag weapon for smaller packs.

New archers should also 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.

Material:
- The Tactical Survival Bow makes use of the finest US and Aerospace materials.
- Riser and limb holding brackets - Aerospace Grade T6 Aluminum (a premium grade even when compared to aircraft grade T6 aluminum). The material also receives a special surface treatment prior to anodizing in order to make the surface non-reflective. This same surface treatment also allows for a better surface for paint adhesion should you the customer want to employ a camo paint system to the product.
- Limbs - Made in the USA from the same high quality composite material that is used by nearly all of the big names in the compound bow industry. Our limbs are cut using precision waterjet technology and painted directly at the supplier in order that we can receive a consistent, quality product from the industry's best.
- Hardware - The retaining pin and retaining pin screw are made of marine grade 316 stainless steel that has been specially chemically treated in order to allow for a black surface treatment to prevent glare. Our supplier is a military vendor who perfected this process over the past decades to ensure a consistent quality finish.
- Limb securing bolts - The limb securing bolts are made from a high tension steel which offers a high degree of safety to ensure compliance in the field and only requires a light oil from time to time.
- We hope you enjoy the product and trust that it will give you many years of trusted service in the field.

Customer Reviews
Thank you
Everything was perfect especially the delivery delay (I got my bow before some other stuffs I ordered from France at the same time)
The bow is exactly as it s described and will perfect for my needs
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 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.
Very light, very sturdy bow. Shoots very well, I bought the 55# version and love it. I put on the provided arrow rest and knock point. Would def buy again.
Mid to high potential to lose some critical pieces.
