Takedown bow

[1] The primary advantage of the takedown design is that it can be transported in a much shorter case when disassembled.

An archer can update their takedown bow with new limbs to take advantage of advancements in materials or design.

[3] Stronger limbs give a greater draw weight, which will impart more force to the arrow.

But stronger limbs require the archer to do more work to pull the string back, and more effort to hold steady while aiming.

Longer or shorter limbs can be used to change the length of the bow for convenience or to match the preference of the archer for smoothness in the draw cycle, and stability.
