Just some food for thought and from someone that has very limited exposure to takedowns other than having shot several that I had varying opinions on, when you add parts you add possibility of failure, I have read several "mainstream" bowhunting magazine stories where the person had to set out a day of a hunt because of a mechanical problem, given these were compound hunters, but a day was lost due to a multi-component piece of equipment however as was stated if you snap a limb in half you can still come out with a shootable bow if you have a take-down, a one piece could be salvaged but far more work would be involved, as to the take-downs I have shot for the most part they were smooth ,quiet and dead in the hand on release,but a few have been noisy at draw,slightly whip-ended on release or in one case with a 2 piece longbow I could feel the hinging action in the handle on release,for me and this is strictly my opinion,it comes down to why I do what I do and it's simplicity,it doesn't get much simpler than a stick with a string on it,I'm not dead set against take-downs either as I own a 62# Hatfield takedown but it has a very specific use,if I traveled a lot to hunt,yes I would probably have several takedowns but, and again this is just me I would also have multiple sets of limbs for them,one piece bows can be inconvenient to transport, hunt in a stand with and store, but I don't think convenience is a huge part of traditional shooting, hope I didn't step on any toes and I have met very few bows I didn't like do what's best for you.
