i wanna make this bow take down

[inksoup]

i have a bow which is working perfectly. no problem but lately i am itching to make it take down as big jim's method.
but the problem is the handle.
where do you think i should cut it to keep the handle strength?
 

 

any ideas? bow is about 170cm and almost 45lbs.

I tried one like Big Jim's the handle was thinner than yours a little. There wasn't enough wood and it broke.

With the shape of your handle and size I'll say it would probably not succeed .

By the time you remove enough to add the wraps it will be weak.

I agree with mac. You really need an off center ibeam the length of the riser to be safe.
