Chapman 58" Takedown Recurve Bow Review

"Fantastisch!" is German for "Fantastic!" And no doubt that's exactly what the German bowyers at BearPaw Archery said when they first shot their Chapman takedown recurve bow. This smooth-shooting, sharp-looking takedown features traditional German craftsmanship at old fashioned American pr...ices. The design is patterned after BearPaw's popular Creed Recurve, but in a slightly smaller takedown model. Riser: Features a standard grip and is made from exotic Amazakoué/Ovangkol with ash and Mycarta accent stripes. The radiused shelf is cut 1/16" past center. Arrow rest and plate included, but not installed. Limbs: The limbs are maple core surrounded by black fiberglass with reinforced G-10 tips to work with today's modern high performance strings. String: Includes a Bearpaw Whisper String with reinforced loops to protect your bow. The center serving ensures a nice, snug fit for your arrow nock. Nock set included, not installed. Comes with protective sleeves for the limbs and riser, as well as an Allen wrench. Sold in right and left handed in pull weights of 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55# @ 28". Please specify.
