and these photos are far better than the video we currently have posted.
We have been shooting more video footage while testing the 45 and 50 lb limbs we have been working on. In all of the footage we are using our new take down arrows. We have fired the take down arrows over 100 times each, and there have been no signs of strain or wear where the two halves connect. The take down arrows and the limbs will be available sometime toward the end of December 2012, or January of 2013.
Keep looking for information on the new limbs and arrows, and we will update you as soon as we are ready to release them.
The compact folding survival bow in it's closed position is only 23 inches long. It has a total weight of 2.5 pounds.
We kept the bow as easy to operate and a minimalist as possible sticking with the survival bow idea so it would be tough and highly unlikely to fail. The riser is made from T6 6061 aircraft grade aluminum, and the limbs from unidirectional E-glass. The limbs are 20 inches long, with only 18 inches exposed when open, and they fold into the riser for protection when closed.
Once the limbs are moved to the open position past the flat part of the limb locking bolt, you just turn the limb locking bolt to the closed position (which is any part of the bolt over the limb when it is tightened) and you are ready to string up your long bow.
You just repeat the steps for each limb. Although it will shoot just like any traditional bow, it is anything but traditional. Most traditional archers have been a little standoffish until they have had a chance to shoot it, then all I have heard is that they were impressed with the way it performed. One said it was the pocket fisherman, but for bows, except for the fact thie bow is really functional and accurate.
The long bow is 59 inches before it is strung, and 55-56 inches long once the string is on. It is fairly quiet when shot, but it really whispers with string silencers installed.
With a 60 pound draw weigh at 28 inches and a 6.5 inch brace height, the folding bow is very comfortable to shoot. Primal Gear Unlimited is working on a slip on grip for the bow, but wants to finish with the lower 45 and 50 pound draw weight limbs and take down arrows before they can devote the required time to finish the grip project.
It is a survival bow that will definitely help you survive in any survival situation. With arrow speeds of 170 to 180 feet per second and a little practice, you can become deadly accurate with this bow.
All of the feedback from Primal Gear Unlimited's clients on Ebay and on www.goprimalnow.com has been excellent. There has been only 5 star ratings and prompt for others to purchase the bow.
Primal Gear Unlimited truly wants their clients to be happy with their purchase, and with the positive feedback they have been getting, they must be doing a great job. Everyone seems to love the products performance, simplicity, and compact foldable bow design.
