Recurves vs. Take-down Recurves

[WoodieSC]

Are there any performance differences between two otherwise identically spec'd bows, i.e., 62"/53#'s, etc?

I like the standard recurves, but the take-downs seem to make a lot of sense for storage and travel, etc.

Any cons to take-downs?

Woodie my take on the difference is that the take down may be a little heavier but still very lite compared to a compound.

The appeal of the take-down to me and others I've talked to is the ability to have multiple sets of limbs, in essence having multiple bows without having to purchase an entirely new rig. I have ordered mine with 52# limbs but a buddy has offered the use of his 35# limbs to use for working on form. Should I decide one day that I need 60# limbs to go chase elephants or something it is no problem to swap out the limbs and be ready to go. Again another personal preference thing, but the takedown has a little more versatility.
