Obvious! !!! Is there something wrong?

My Wes Wallace Royal two piece weights 1.5 lbs total.  You can't tell it is a break down when it is put together and is the perfect weight for shooting.  I has no hand shock and is a clean smooth shooting bow.  If you know what you shoot well find that bow or a couple and buy them.  Shoot them and dont look back.

Can't help yuh - I love three piece ANYTHING.

I love the convienience of them and I love the mass...not too much weight though.

My ACS 3 piece is pretty light as long as you don't hand things on it - quivers and thing like that.

nope can't help you - I wouldn't own a one piece. If someone gave me one I would be getting a bow bolt or something.

2 of the takedowns I have are Jack Harrison's new ones with the composite handle.  They weigh about the same as a one piece.  Maybe 2-3 ounces more.  You have a hard time telling them fm a one piece since they are basically a one piece that he cuts in half.  

One piece bows just don't travel or pack well and both are important to me.

I had, for a short time, a wonderful three piece RER LX. Shot like a charm, and pretty too. Just didn't like a take down and traded it for a Vortex. Best move I've made yet.

I'm with ya on the "looks/weight/mass" of a take down. Funny, you couldn't give me a high end Black Widow take down but I'm still in love with my TFV Ironwood recurves! Go Figure. You're not alone in thinking strange...  :rolleyes:  

Maybe, just maybe if you find a short riser bow with long smooth limbs...... Whatever.

Maybe one of the newer ones with very small risers like 13-14 inches would feel more simlar to a one piece for you.Some are pretty slim and not much heavier than a one piece bow.

Like morrisons A sized risers or mini riser or Big Jims new 3 piece with a 13 inch riser.Someone mentioned the pronghorn 3 Piece and it does have an almost one piece feel to it.

I could see the more massive risers that are long with alot of wood feeling wierd,uncomfortable or awkward to someone used to one piece bows.I know the feeling for sure and never cared for it really.Mine have mostly been small and streamlined in a 3 piece bow the last few years.I do like em and switching over from a lightweight one piece is no problem for me fortunatly.

I like the feel, the simplicity, and the continuous smooth flow tip to tip of a one piece.--Had a 3 piece once, thinking this makes sense for shipping,  air travel, etc.  Fact was that for the  15yrs. I had it, I never, once, found reason to take it a part. I suspect that for 99% of us hunt locally, and when we do travel out state to hunt, 99% of us travel by vehicle-- Multi-piece just doesn't seem to be any advantage for most of us-- except for those who have multiple limbs, wts.-- my choice would be multiple one pieces even if I wanted diff. wts.
