BBO Takedown (not for BOM)

I don't often get a request for a take-down but a fellow in Georgia asked me to build him one a few weeks ago. The bow I made him is much the same as a bow I wrote about a few years ago, a 3 piece take-down that will break down to under 30". It's 60" long overall and the limbs are just under 1 1/4" wide tapering to 3/8" at the nocks. The handle is a laminate of Bloodwood, Hickory and Ash. The limbs are held down by 2 Brass bolts and the nut are glued into some Deer antler. The bow pulls just under 60# @ 26". Here's a couple pictures

Nice looking bow, Marc. No plumbing parts in this one! I bet it shoots sweet.

If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Too Cool!
How do these perform compared to a similar profile non takedown?

That is way cool,especially knowing that this bow is unique and not just a mass produced model.

Thanks guys.
The limbs are 27" long so that is the length it would pack down to. Lots of work goes into making one of these.

Thanks guys.
This is the third bow I make like this and if I made more of them I think would rig up some jigs to make the job easier.
Josh. I could post a full draw but I don't really want it entered in BOM; note change in title.
P.S. This is while I was tillering the bow out
