If I had only one choice of a bow to take to the zombie wars, the Wolfer would be it. It's a rugged, dependable bow. Just recurved enough to add a little speed, but not enough to be finicky. The two pieces fit well in the side pockets of a backpack, which is how Dick Robertson designed the bow. The connection between the two pieces is solid, and adds a little desirable weight to the handle. The riser section is very short, allowing longer draw lengths on a 58" bow. Every one of these features has an upside and a downside. It was designed to be the ultimate back country backpacking bow, and if that's what you want it for, then you'll appreciate the upsides and probably won't be bothered by the downsides. It may not be quite as fast or quite as stable as some of my other bows, but I'll bet if my backpack ever goes over a waterfall and has to be retrieved downstream somewhere, I could put it together and it would still work.
