Great bow, and almost as good, Doug Shadwell is an AMAZING dude. Top notch customer service, all the way. I love my SAS bow. Highly recommend.

[@18matts]

As far as making sure your string is tight and far out enough. Store one of those arrows with measurements on the arrow. Use that arrow as a last resort. And also learn your body measurements like he said

[@d4walkaline]

I love the concept of survival bows, but it seems as if they all have the ergos of a 2x4.

[@AFCAWorldBodybuildingArchive]

How friendly and politely he rammed that arrow into the zombie's head :D

[@preparedmind101]

I am going to do a breakdown video of the differing pros and cons between this and the PGCFSB. Probably be a good idea if you did too. People are just going to keep asking.

[@TWANGnBANG]

It's great you plan to do it as it will give me a place to send them. :)

[@manga12]

takedown arrows, hmm maybe you can get dorge of firenock to make that concept better and more precise, its a tall order, and he seems to specialize in tall orders no one else can do and with good carbon.

[@Bouboukenka]

PREPAREDMIND101 have you yet? I'm interested in seeing it.

[@user-bo8yt4uc8b]

You can mark the correct brace height to one arrow. You can also not loose the correct brace height if you leave the string twisted. I take the loop from the bottom limb and put it to the top limb without adding or removing any twists in my recurve bow, when I'm taking it down.

[@ImGeoduck]

that intro was fantastic

[@TWANGnBANG]

It was not planned, but I just went with it. Glad your sense of humor is the same as mine. :)

[@SouthWestIron]

Looks, like a pretty good functioning take down bow. Like how compact and streamline it is.

[@tcc187620]

I have been schooled. Thank you. ~ Tokie ~

[@SANDYBANK1000]

[@rachetCD]

Just awesome. I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for making videos sir I don't watch ANY t.v. And I use KZbin for entertainment and education (mostly with guns) and your videos have both of those :)

[@TWANGnBANG]

Thanks so much!

[@raider6511]

NEAT. Haven't used a bow for years but this one looks cool. Good Video.

[@paulbassett9732]

Watched lots on this bow, your review is without doubt the best👍👍👍👍

[@TWANGnBANG]

Thanks, Paul!

[@JohnDought]

I think in a survival bow that can be folded and having takedown arrows is not a must in survival, ja must have you bows and arrows ready for use.

[@melonhead849]

you got my thumbs up from that opening. that was hilarious!

[@TWANGnBANG]

Thanks!

[@gregkral4467]

Thanks, man, just got mine in the mail today. Looking forward to spending archery time and backpacking time with my kids. The ol compound is too bulky to just whip around with, but this is perfect.

[@Nnnope]

Guys the goprimal bow Is way better in pretty much everything. He has reviewed it some time ago. I bought one and it's great

[@preparedmind101]

... as long as you use feather fletched arrows. The SAS bow shoots vanes 1000% better.

[@Nnnope]

PREPAREDMIND101 yeah true

[@XenoDarkS]

This running gag at the start xD This bow look's pretty great and have a cool price Only 200$ , he look's like powerfull but ...is it a solid sort of plastic? because i feel like it can easily break .

[@TWANGnBANG]

The riser and limb brackets are aluminum and the limbs are glass composite. There is nothing that is simply going to break on this bow anywhere. Thanks for watching!

[@XenoDarkS]

Thanks you so much for your answer.

[@TristynRusselo]

Did you know if you hold your Gerber multi-tool in the center and flick it outward, it will fling out the sliding pliers for easy one handed operation?

[@ponycentaur1456]

i would suggest NOT using field points for hunting. Add a set of broadhead tips to fit into that bow as well =) also it is suggested that this particular bow is for emergency when the main weapon (like a better bow or gun) is not operateable .

[@jerryshea417]

That was the best intro 2a vid i'v seen in a long time👍.

[@DocIgor1980]

Хороший лук для выживания, можно было бы сделать поворотный механизм на рукояти, это бы упростило сборку лука и не надо было перекручивать болты, например по центру выдвинуть, развернуть рукоять и сдвинуть.

[@Sliperypickle000]

Another Gerber 3500 mulltitool owner!!nice!!

[@jayjohns1391]

Ron Popeil woyld be proud! Funny intro and a nice ad for the company that makes it, but unless you are planning to use your MasterCard in a survival situation, it's really not much more than a well presented commercial.

[@sasquatchhadarock968]

Any thoughts on doing a comparison between this and the CFSB you did a year or two ago?

[@TWANGnBANG]

Comparison videos just aren't my thing, but I've summarized the differences elsewhere in the comments. Thanks for watching!

[@sasquatchhadarock968]

TWANGnBANG Fair enough. I'll probably just watch the CFSB video again. That was a cool bow and I see a lot of similarities in the design of the SAS bow, I'm thinking they both are solid choices.

[@annettefreels4347]

okay?

[@jackanderson3108]

0:37 boonk gang whole lotta gang shit

[@blake102989]

you do know those gerber multi tool pliers are made to be flung open by whipping it like a knife without assisted opening so you can do it 1 handed right? It takes a bit more effort to open them the way you did with one hand, give the other way a try and i bet you'll love it.

[@TWANGnBANG]

If you owned these, you’d know that it is actually a very unreliable method. They bind up and don’t move all the time.

[@Maxid1]

I think Fred gets the point.

[@Lord_Sneetus]

love the channel and love the idea of survival bows, but as a self righteous bow snob, I am seriously skeptical about the functionality of this set. My issue is mainly with the arrows, mind you. I hate the idea of an arrow with a center connection that weighs over 30 grains and likely causes unpredictable paradox. Does the arrow bend uniformly? can it be cut shorter without effecting the balance? can broad heads fit in the body of the bow, or the quiver for that matter? Also, if carry size is an issue, my Win & Win Black Wolf and Hoyt Buffalo both clip apart and fit into 22" and 25" bag rolls respectively, and are both top performing bows. If compactness and money are both issues, buy a $125 Sammick Sage that also breaks down to under 21" and jam it into an old stocking. But, I fully understand that this SAS bow is going to win alot of people over for its niche appeal, and I respect that. Just hope it doesn't come up short when someone truly ends up in a survival scenario! 😄 Lord knows even the best tuned recurves require serious patience and skill to hunt with. 🙄

[@DitchDr101]

Pretty cool concept.

[@ephraimyasharahla4420]

the zombie killed you both. Lol great sense of humor.

[@NoPetCat]

Love this thing, I’m a noob , and it’s simplicity made it easy to feel out and I was shooting accurately at 40 yrds

[@Rich2M316]

Best. Intro. EVER!

[@gtfkt]

How would you compare it to the Primal Gear Unlimited CFSB you reviewed a few years ago?

[@louisp.3332]

Thank God!!!! Finally an arrow that will take down an African Wildebeest. Because I’m so familiar with that animal it’s a great example to use for larger game!!!!! I mean they’re just everywhere in America!!!!

[@Nanorisk]

Man, have you tried to smash a watermelon with this bow folded? Last time you did that with the CFSB, which was awesome.

[@locke9613]

I prefer the primal gear compact folding bow.

[@HorizonsleatherBlogspot2012]

Same.

[@preparedmind101]

You've shot this one?

[@locke9613]

PREPAREDMIND101 No, but this one's assembly doesn't seem very practical. Sure it's compact, but the primal gears limbs fold into itself.

[@locke9613]

I probably will buy this one soon though, just for the sake of having it.

[@preparedmind101]

Different but equal pros and cons. Biggest thing the SAS has going for it is it's ability to shoot vanes. I personally think the shelf on the PG should be a little higher. At least once I've turned around and smacked the limb just right and had it collapse on me which freaked me out. That can't happen on the SAS. But the PG is a much faster/ easier setup, I'll grant that much. I still like both, but I don't think one is overwhelmingly superior to the other. Depends on what features are most important.

[@AKlover]

Interested till I saw the price. Buy a Samick Sage.

[@vinnyaglioni9697]

Samick Sage is just too big and takes up too much space in a bag. Try it, you wont have much space to work with and you have to work around the bow the whole time to get stuff in and out. Not to mention that you still dont have a solution to store arrows. Plus, the Sage's limbs may break if you take a fall with your pack. That's what so great about these survival bow is that they are super compact and tough as a badger.

[@AKlover]

Trineer SA The reality is unless things have really gone to shit and I need to kill a human quietly, I'd use my handgun first. You will not get this city boy out in the woods without a gun, knife, and some sort of fire starter. I see your argument but I don't think it applies to me. All 3 of those things are in my vehicle as well and I'm not in the habit of riding into potentially isolated areas in someone else's vehicle.

[@vinnyaglioni9697]

Then a Samick Sage will not be worth purchasing either. :)

[@davidtrueslayor7474]

I forgot to ask you did you find that grip tape to be too aggressive for you hands ? and can you think of some other grip tape or even better a rubber bad or grip that can be stuck on with self adhesive ??? Thanks again

[@entertainmentforyou6677]

Great Video!

[@lazious91]

it is scary to think that what will happen when the string of the bow snap, those limb is going to collapse on your fingers

[@TWANGnBANG]

I doubt it would hurt much if that happened. It's not like the limbs are heavy or sharp in any way. Thanks for watching!

[@jeffpittman8725]

Interesting design. Hard to beat simplicity.

[@kchoate73]

hi I'm new to your channel and I'm wondering what type of dog do you have

[@VRWarehouse]

1st time here and that intro had me laughing out loud :D

[@kurosama420]

Every time I see these bows in a video, it always looks like it has an uneven draw, the bottom arm bends more than the top....

[@markfarrelly1623]

[@Commissarius]

Which one is superior between this one and the one you reviewed in 2013 Primal Gear Unlimited's CFSB

[@blakecantrell13]

5:14 he's flipping us off

[@herculesrockefeller2984]

I feel bad for the Wildebeest that gets shot with that thing

[@Moose_Hawkins]

Question: Why would you choose a folding bow over a takedown bow? Complete novice here.

[@TWANGnBANG]

Better packability and durability in survival situations.

[@biophysique]

Cool stuff here ! Is it storage friendly for broadheads too ?

[@TWANGnBANG]

It's a metal box, so it largely depends on what kind of broadhead and how you insert it in the riser. I'd stick with two-blade heads.

[@biophysique]

Well, must admit that I like the Toxic design. What kind of two-blade are using (or would you), if I may ask ?

[@TWANGnBANG]

JCH Nanaya The TOXIC needs way more KE than this generates to get penetration. For a bow like this, anything from the Magnus Stinger to the super fancy Solid Legends would work great. Any head used with a bow like this should be cut-on-contact.

[@biophysique]

Thanks for the help, my country doesn't allow bow-hunting, so I can just dream about it for now. ^^

The bow weighs 1kg or 2.2# and comes in 45#, 50# and 55#. I was lucky enough to get one of the original 65# bows that they no longer make. Awesome product!!!

[@Pressingontoperfection]

Whats better this one or the recon ?

[@davidtrueslayor7474]

Ok I know absolutely nada about bows but the arrow rest is there arrow on top and you get ready to set your knock -why does the knock go above the arrow especially when the rest is below it ? Is that to create this over under effect to steady the arrow? Thanks david ps you like this as much as the pgu ?

[@kenjisakano]

Whatcha got holstered. I know I see an outline of something beneath the shirt!

[@TWANGnBANG]

Microphone cord and tape that kept coming loose in the humidity. :)

[@dikmclittleton2271]

good job

[@TWANGnBANG]

Thanks!

[@kalebr1098]

Which would you prefer a Primal Gear Unlimited, or the SAS in a "SHTF" situation?

[@TWANGnBANG]

I'd be happy with either. The PGU protects the limbs with the riser, and the SAS protects the arrows. The SAS is shorter and draws nicer, but the PGU is way easier to get into action and has an arrow shelf. The SAS can shoot vanes well, but the PGU really needs feathers. It just depends on your priorities.

[@robertmiller8578]

I like this bow and have one but I don't have the take down arrows. I made a bow quiver from a pair of dollar tree flip flop sandals that holds 6 arrows but my arrows have 2 inch vanes instead of feathers I have shot 4 fletch feathered arrows ( arrows with four feathers ) in 3 inch feathers is this better to use or are the vanes best to use?

[@CJJ860]

Rambo bow!

[@slingshotmexican2484]

Oh i didn't notice

[@yaribins5754]

So are you planning even more improvements about the crovel

[@TWANGnBANG]

Not sure what you're asking, but you will not see any more Crovel videos on the channel.

[@yaribins5754]

sorry not a native speaker :). I asked if you are planning to improve it. Ans I was already subbed before the crovel but since you made a crovel mk2 I thought maybe a crovel mk3 have a lovely day

[@TWANGnBANG]

Yari Bins I have absolutely nothing to do with the Crovel other than reviewing it many years ago. It was a gift from my brother.

[@slingshotmexican2484]

U should compare it to your primal gear bow

[@TWANGnBANG]

I did in the comments.

[@tylerfelix4558]

Can you set this bow up for bow fishing?

[@YeetLoaf2020]

Do you have to remove the limbs to put it together? or can you have the limbs fold on the same side and have it be just as compact?

[@TWANGnBANG]

You must remove the top limb as shown. One limb will prevent the other from folding past 90 degrees.

[@YeetLoaf2020]

Dang

[@TheCraigy83]

getting fed up of the other band members ?

[@drgdfhfdhfd498]

U dont get any hunting tips ? how can u survive if u only get target tips....

[@TWANGnBANG]

Target points are universal. Broaheads are a personal choice with hundreds of designs to choose from. It’s up to the purchaser to choose the broadhead they want to use.

[@AM-zd3zr]

how many twists did it take to set the string?

[@slingshotmexican2484]

I like your videos

[@Infinityhorus01]

If the string snaps on that bow the limbs will smack the shit out of your left hand^^

[@paschallhouston]

looks like he fliping us all off lol

[@jinreitsung7833]

By the way, how much does it cost ?

[@wraystv3054]

How much?

[@garethh6962]

Your bow arm is terrible keep it stiff and rotate your elbow more and you don't want air on that release. Interesting bow though but there is better takedowns on the market . I just wouldn't trust a arrow for safety that screws together and you can't get a broadhead in the riser....

[@annettefreels4347]

y does he breath so much and big moment of silence

[@pwrplnt1975]

Great Video! I thought it was funny!

[@helensan4557]

I'd laugh so hard if that zombie came alive though

[@Bowfella]

Tbh this is far from a new concept. Takedown recurve bows have been around for decades. The only difference is this one has folding limbs and a more narrow riser. However this is far from an efficient bow (especially for a beginner). 1. The arrow rest is not in the center of the bow, making it harder to shoot. 2. The limbs aren't as secure to the riser as most takedown bows making it louder (which increases the risk of a deer jumping the string). 3. The arrows it comes with are VERY impractical as they are for sure too stiff because of the extra metal inserts. Using arrows not tuned to the bow (these arrows wont tune to any bow) will make your bow very inconsistent. In summary there are MUCH better takedown recurve bows for the same price such as ones from TopArchery and SinoArt. It's better to do a lot of research on archery equipment before you buy any.

[@Rogerdin13]

best intro ever xD

[@hazimesahe]

its a good bow but has to much prep time

[@bettymorgan849]

So is there any way to get that or make it 30lb
