Which 2 pc? A flip of the coin perhaps.

[V I Archer]

I've been thinking lately that a 2 piece longbow may be in my future.  Living in goat and sheep country a two piece may be more practical for the hike in and out than my current 69" Sky bows.  I, as most guys here like what I like and have particular taste.  I definetly want a tool-less design, don't want to misplace a wrench on the way up a goat mountain in December.  Not really sure I trust the conection hinge and not really in love with those roll up rubber grip things.  I want a "classic" d shaped bow at brace, again, not really loving the radical reflex designs.  

Tough part though may be in the grip.  I was entertaing a Hill half breed but have never shot a straight grip. Can I get a locator or even a  slight dish with a sleeved take down?  The other option I have thought of is the Bama Bow, which appears to meet all my desires.  

Thoughts???

I have been pondering the same thing for a long time too. I also like the Bama Bows TD system. Northern Mist uses the connection Hinge but you could get whatever grip you like.

This is a two piece.With a composite sleeve there are many grip options. on my personal bows I use beavertail wrap.

I like bamabows take down. I have been to Nate's and he has his take down system in a bow that is 102# and it is still tight.

I have a 60# Centaur 62 inch with the connexion hinge for packing in the mountains that is flawless. I sold my 3 piece and never regretted it. I WOULD BUY ANOTHER ANY DAY!

Great Northern critter gitter with the jack-knife folding system.  great bow with a great take-down system

[Steelhead]

Some bowyers offer a locator grip in a steel sleeve style TD.Fox archery does and so does Whippenstick Custom bows,Wallace Royal Longbow.I believe they use bondo or something similar to shape the grip and wrap it in leather.

You can get a located on a Whip, it's a bow bolt system.  R/D though

[awbowman]

What is that bow PV?

[Ragnarok Forge]

I would give a long hard look at a Wes Wallace Royal.  Mild R/D longbow with the steel and brass sleeve systems.  My family has five of them and they are all a tight fit after tons of shooting.  Just a warning though, his bow while works of art, are not cheap.

[Clinglish]

I have found the sleeve fit system to be excellant and it is offered by several bowyers . The extra weight in the riser gives the bow a solid feel and the riser can be built up to what ever grip[ style you prefer.
I shoot Fox bows and I have 3 that use this system ,you could give Ron a call and Im sure he would be happy to talk you through some options.

[Jim Wright]

I believe that Dan Toelke offers his Super Ds with the Bowbolt system as well as his d/r Whip long bow and one piece Chinook recurve.

I just got a Kohannah with the bow bolt.....nice!

[Ground Hunter]

Well there is Howard Hill.

[dnovo]

I have a 2 piece Mohawk for sale right now. It has the connexion hinge, which I have had on several bows and am completely happy with. There is no bump on the front of the riser like some.

[Breakfast Boy]

Another vote for a Great Northern Critter Gitter with the jackknife takedown system. I have a one piece Critter Gitter and love it, but now I want one with the jackknife option.

[dragonheart]

Black widows system is as slick as i have seen.  Best out there in my opinion.

[Steelhead]

I like the Critter Gitter with the Jacknife.The Fox longbow and Royal by Wallace are nice with the steel sleeve.I also love Ken Rohloffs single carbon Whippestick with the steel sleeve.He does a nice grip with it.Its very very fast and easy on the eyes.The Big jim buffalo bow is also nice wth the locket socket.Some of these wont have a true D shape when strung.But they shoot very nice and all require no tools and are reliable and strong systems

[LONGSTYKES]

I have a Big Jim Buffalo 2 pc and a Toelke Whip 2 pc. Both bows  work very well.  The buffalo is seamless, the whip is not.
