I owned a Mantis Takedown and it was one of the fastest bows pound per pound that I have ever owned.  Great bows.

Kind of wished I still owned it!!!!!

Are you refering to the Mantis Bows made by G&L Archery?  You know that they are out of business.

Great bows, even better people. Gene quit building due to health reasons...his work will be missed by those of us fortunate enough to own them.

Here are a couple of pics of their takedown longbows:

   

   

My wife still shoots this takedown recurve:

   

   

Both of my sons shoot thier one piece Mantis Hunter longbow.

Vance (Iron Bull) Brewer, has one with instructions that he can only sell it back to me when he is silly enough to get rid of it.
