All our bows are proudly made in the USA! The only compact survival bows on the market currently made here and not imported.
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.
Why choose the Recon?
- Compact design to fit in a backpack
- Stores 3 full takedown arrows inside the riser (sold separately)
- Super fast setup - just unfold and string.
- No tools required.
- Robust and durable compared to organic bows/limbs.

(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.

All around amazing. Was suspicious about quality for the price, but that was erased immediately.
Thank you very much.

Amazing and compact thanks
Unique
Used this since it arrived. Great bow!
I love the fact that I now have a very powerful & hackable survival tool.
Nice and compact, up and running in less than a minute. Not for a day pack, but great for a frame pack. Very happy with this. I would recommend it to anyone. Light and with the 55# it has a great launch.
I purchased this bow from the company (they had it on sale).This bow is a very well designed heavy-duty bow. I was quite surprised how light it is. I really love shooting with this bow. It shoots very well. I would highly recommend this bow.
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.
Great for survival bag and works well. Price is high at 245.00 bucks but the fact I can hide it because it packs down small and fits in my BOB bag is awesome
A great compact bow. It take a little getting used to but a great survival bow. Don't judge the bow by the quality of the arrows
