Tactical Survival Bow - Survival Archery Systems

[@tlock4616]

I've been shooting archery for most of my life and I learned today. Never knew you could twist the string to shorten it. Thanks Brian!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I am glad it helped

[@johnryan6456]

Thank you. I wouldn't have figured out how to assemble the bow anytime soon. Very helpful.

[@robertmiller9142]

I have one of these bows and love it, it works great and have even taken deer with it. I practice with it on a regular basis along with my compound at the same time and carry both when I hunt. I carry the folding bow in its sheath along side my back quiver with arrows as a backup bow just in case or to use for traditional shooting for hunt and stalk times. It is nice to have a second bow for that purpose that is easy to take down.😊

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

That's good to know

[@fintonmainz7845]

Thanks. I never heard of someone actually hunting with one.

[@thecellm8tube]

Thank you for the review, very important to watch these videos before making decisions and you are a big help out sir!!

[@jeffjackson5331]

Those two bows are sweet! I like them. Thanks for sharing Bryan.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

So do I. Thanks for watching.

[@jeffjackson5331]

Survival On Purpose you are very welcome.

How much fun is it, watching you shoot arrows? Lots, I love comedy!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Good to see you shooting Trad bows brother! Take care my friend.

[@stevemilcoffmilcoff4655]

Missed the first vidio thank you

[@scousiered3124]

I have a Timber Creek Mamba horse bow for SHTF. It's super light, splits into two pieces, you can run with it in your hand for long distances, and they can be 40lbs shots. It took me a while to adapt my style to it from a normal recurve, like a Hoyt, but I love it now I know how to use it. Can keep it at the back of my back with no fuss.

[@diasandtheastronauts]

That drawing sound is just awesome 😎

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

[@alexanderweaver4838]

It's been decades since I used a traditional bow. The TSB is an interesting option to add to a bug out system. I've been using a Simple Shot sling for about a year now and have gotten pretty accurate with it using 3/8 inch ammo...targeting one liter plastic soda bottles and an old BBQ lid. Zach Fowler from season one of "Alone" got me interested and my collection has grown. Economics is keeping me at the sling shot level...forty bucks (plus ammo is cheap) for my sling vs 200 bucks for a 40# draw TSB and arrows aren't cheap. Thanks for sharing this option, Bryan.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Cool

[@malcolmrowe5031]

In a shtf situation a bow is a must have item, reusable ammo! The Indians survived for hundreds of years without guns!

[@IlmarBeekman]

HUMANS survived for tens of thousands of years without guns.

[@chiefkirk]

Bryan if the bows were set up properly to your requirements with a good arrow rest, the knock set at the proper height, the brace height properly adjusted, you would dial in your shooting very quickly. The off colored vane should go to the outside as you thought. Your friend gave you excellent advice. Always wear and arm protector and a glove of some sort. You can't imagine the pain and ugly caused by the string slapping your naked arm. One last tip. Once your brace height is properly adjusted, when you unstring your bow, be careful that your string does not untwist. Put the ends together and secure them together. Happy shooting brother.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks

[@redsorgum]

Chuck Norris doesn’t need a bow, he throws his arrows by hand...😉😬🇺🇸

[@Bob-lt5hf]

Bryan, for a survival bow I would highly recommend the Samick Sage Recurve Take Down Bow. Amazon sells it for $129 and is a much liter package than the Survival Archery Bow and fits in a smaller package. Nice review. Check out Samick Archery and do a comparison video of both packages.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks

[@Bob-lt5hf]

@@saber1able Thanks you for the finer points. Much appreciated.

[@scottmccutcheon9828]

I like it!! Thanks Brian!!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Me too. Thank YOU

[@raymondbrown3216]

I have this bow in the 45 lbs range and love it I have made limb quivers for it out of a pair of flip flops that hold four arrows very nicely, unfortunately I don't have the take down arrows to go with the bow and I am using full length carbon arrows with 2 inch vanes.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Very creative

[@freedomfightersresistance3960]

Do the 45 lbs have enough power to kill deer

[@adiandrei3006]

what is the sound after releasing the arrow? are the limbs vibrating that hard? its a natural sound for this type of bow?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I guess it is

[@themoodybobby1]

Make sure your fletchings are placed correctly. You have the single (black) towards the bow a lot it should be placed out. Thanks for sharing.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Actually, it is in line with the nock groove, so it is iether up or down. Which i am pretty sure is wrong

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

After doing some research i think it depends on which type of arrow rest you intend to use. So maybe it is right after all.

[@morganblackheart9468]

Can use the sleeve for a quiver

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Yes

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Oops! Zach Fowler was in season three, not season one as I mentioned in my previous comment. Another reason I opted for a sling shot vs a TSB is that I can carry my sling in a pants pocket and a leather pouch on my belt with 100pc of 3/8 inch ammo; plus deployment is almost instantaneous should I need it.

[@patrickowens7924]

those arrows are nocked for wisker biscuits, like for compound bows

[@tom_olofsson]

Great job.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Are you going to go to the Tactical Response alumni weekend next month?

@@SurvivalOnPurpose I have never been to one. Heading to Montana for a week long survival course in August. Had to spend all of my good behavior points to take that much time from family stuff. 😁

[@iliketurtles4463]

A little off topic but I'm intrigued by the carabiner and bolt on the seal for your drum. I can see one or the other being a latch of some sort, but am unsure exactly how they work together...

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

They don’t. I was just tying stuff

[@sifusasdo2314]

Cool Video 👍

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks

[@goosee7776]

I understand if ya ran out ammo, you could make an arrow from a tree stick and a tip"...or say your plane crash landed on island and you didn't have a gun, first thing you would build for defence or food, would be to make you a little bow and arrow,

[@Bowfella]

Someone who designed this bow definitely did not have much archery knowledge just by looking at the arrows. On a bow like this you're going to need non-stiff arrows. Because the arrow has to "curve" around the riser (archer's paradox). By making the arrows collapsible, they are crazy stiff. Infact too stiff to even shoot out of a center-cut riser, this one is NOT a center-cut riser... Not only that but on a recurve you need feathers, NOT vanes for fletching. Because you need a whisker-biscuit or drop away rest like on a compound to use those. These would be more suited on a crossbow than a recurve...

[@What_Fred_Said]

That thing makes way to much noise when pulling back. Deer says bye bye. It would need some mods to quiet it down for sure.

[@survivalarcherysystems]

Brian did mention in the video he had not fitted an arrow rest which is why he had the bare metal shaft sliding on the bare metal riser making a noise. With the bear weather rest it’s perfectly quiet. The other thing was that one of the pivot pin screws was not tightened so that was the twang vibration noise you hear in the video. The bow is very quiet.

[@Hardys-Mods]

u could defenitely fit some cloth over the handle and where the arrow touches the handle. or install a selfmade arrow rest

[@lauriewilliams8221]

Bryan G'day from Down-Under this Friday evening. I just had a quick look along the top of the screen where you said you were going to put a link to the other Video you did on the other bow, I can't find it. Maybe you are still resting from all that exertion & forgot to put it on. 😂😂📌📌

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

If you are on a mobile just tap your screen. The link is. It until toward the end of the video because I learned it was a bad practice to put them too soon and cause people to click off of the current video. Apparently the algorithm penalizes you for that.

[@lauriewilliams8221]

[@2Based23]

Very nice to see a bow review on your channel could you review a traditional bow sometimes ? Great video !

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Maybe

[@Mike-rx3mn]

Hey Brian, that was another informative well explained video even with a little rambling, but there's nothing wrong with the rambling, I do it myself when I'm doing something new as a way to think thru what I'm doing, enough about me, do you recommend any smaller takedown systems? There are a few dart type systems for slingshots, even one for fishing. All of these are for much shorter ranges, but sometimes you just want something in your daypack just in case. Also, the link to your amazon account seems to be disabled? Is that because of my VPN or is amazon just being that way? Anyway I enjoyed the video, please keep them coming.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I have a sling bow and it does OK, but not like a 55 lb bow

[@Linda-xp3ig]

When you say you chose between a 40/50 pound bow what is it that you’re referring to?

[@lauriewilliams8221]

The draw weight. a test to pull the string back to the position where the arrow is ready to fire. You didn't ask me, but just trying to help. Bryan will respond to your question though.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

What he said ;-) That is basically the amount of force it takes to draw the bow. The bigger the draw weight the faster it shoots the arrow flies and the more energy it imparts to the target.

[@Leverguns50]

My personal opinion is that look like a piece of junk, And as a bow hunter I don’t think you could sneak up on a any game animal with something that made that much noise, AJ Archie out of Indonesia make take down bows that shoot much quieter, I like survival gear but like most survive a deer that’s just some junk to stick in your backpack that’s pretty something you would only use in a survival situation might get you killed because it’s not suited for it,

[@iroironman9115]

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

[@johnnyhawthorne1989]

The rubber end caps do not fit to spec, you can just say that instead of making up some bs about how its made that way for wear and tear or whatever that nonsense was. This is why I hate sponsored reviewers.....

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Except the maker actually specifically told me about the caps when he sent the bow to me. And I was paid absolutely ZERO for this video, other than receiving the bow (which I have so far been unable to convince my grocery store to accept instead of cash). Bottom line, when you call someone a liar you should really be sure you know what you are talking about. There was a time. Not that long ago, when that was justification for deadly combat.

[@johnnyhawthorne1989]

@@SurvivalOnPurpose after reading your response I did a little research. Turns out the caps are designed to be removable to stow away arrows and act as a quiver, I would assume they designed it in that manner for easier removal. Not often do I find myself in a position of feeling like a jackass, so with that said I apologize. I like how you stood your ground got yourself a new a subscriber 👍
