Coyote Takedown

Built around a rigid aluminum riser rather than traditional laminated hardwood, this takedown recurve prioritizes mechanical durability over classic aesthetics. It shares more structural DNA with compound bow frames than traditional one-piece wood bows, giving hunters an unapologetically utilitarian platform. The limbs utilize a proven fiberglass and wood laminate build, bolting securely into machined pockets to withstand wet brush, vehicle floorboards, and heavy field use without warping or delaminating concerns.

On the draw and release, that structural stiffness translates to consistent alignment, but it also produces noticeable hand shock and shot noise. Archers stepping away from compounds will appreciate the familiar grip angle and the threaded accessory bushings for sights, stabilizers, or bowfishing reels, but quieting the rig requires deliberate tuning, string silencers, and dampeners. The metal riser also pulls heat directly out of bare hands during sub-freezing late-season sits, making thermal wrap or gloves mandatory.

Disassembled, the three-piece layout packs flat into a duffel or lashes cleanly to an external hunting frame. While traditional purists might find the industrial feel lacking in soul, the platform fits hunters who view a recurve as an abuse-tolerant tool rather than a display piece, delivering solid utility where wood bows risk cosmetic and structural damage.
