The tool analogy by Terry seems right for me or say, golf clubs. When you need a sand wedge you really need one and it is the best thing for sure at that time.
So, with bows, a takedown to me seems very likely if you fly or travel to your hunting areas. Although, it is hard to beat a RD full length bow like say a black widow in the right length, is light as a feather and performs very well, as fast as their recurves ... hard to beat for sure. But a 64" Morrison Dakota would also be rock'en and several other brands i'm sure as well.
Others are the bear takedown system, especially with say Schafer limbs or something like that. And the venerable Pronghorn takedowns which are three piece and takedown as short as the arrows. And shoot very well indeed.
But I have hunted with one of those old fiberglass stickbows when younger. They are very durable and make good boat bows for carp, that you can keep in the boat no worries ....
Another good mention is the Schafer designed recurves. I had another Bowyer, who was known for doing a great job on snake skins tell if you really want a fast recurve .... get a Schafer, it is a fast design that still holds up. It doesn't blow up on you after a flight to africa .... ....
