Bob Garner USA-Made Takedown Recurve Bow – 60 Inches

Shatterproof Archery began with bowstrings offered by Kramer Ammons and grew with the help of his brother Kazden Ammons, who now owns the company. Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the business has an Etsy shop dating to 2017; its formal founding year has not been verified. The team aims to help more people enjoy archery through practical gear and education. Its published values emphasize simplicity, integrity, hospitality and perseverance. A small family business grew from bowstring orders and bow-building videos into a wider traditional archery range.

The Bob Garner is a three-piece takedown recurve handcrafted in Colorado. Its hickory riser and bamboo-core fiberglass limbs honor the Ammons brothers' grandfather, who introduced the family to archery.

Choose shooting hand, draw weight and configuration using your actual setup requirements. A listed draw weight is meaningful only with its reference draw length and tolerance. Compare your draw length with the maker's stated range and obtain guidance if the reference measurement is missing. A higher draw weight is not automatically a better choice for learning or for a comfortable practice session.

Read the included-equipment list alongside the selected options. A complete bow, a limb-only product and a partially completed kit are different purchases. For a takedown design, compatible limb geometry and attachment hardware matter; a similar appearance does not establish interchangeability. Follow the maker's assembly and setup instructions and have brace height, string seating and arrow compatibility checked before shooting.

The published lead time refers to the maker's production schedule and should be confirmed for the current configuration. Production time and carrier transit are different periods. Materials such as wood, bamboo and fiberglass can vary in appearance, so use product photos to understand construction rather than expecting an identical grain pattern. No unbreakable-bow claim, universal accuracy improvement or guaranteed arrow speed is made here.

Material names describe the identified construction. They do not by themselves establish component origin, a certification or compatibility with every bow or accessory.

Care and setup

Follow the maker’s assembly, stringing, brace-height and storage instructions. Inspect limbs, riser, attachment points and string before practice. Never dry-fire the bow, and stop if any component appears damaged or the setup changes unexpectedly. Use a compatible string and arrows. A model name or supplier guarantee does not eliminate routine inspection or the need for appropriate instruction.

Product-specific checks

Four-week lead time listed. Supplier body includes an adhesive arrow rest while variants allow Arrow Shelf Yes/No; confirm contents and configuration for each selection.

The supplier identifies this finished product as made in the United States through its product text, product-gallery USA claim, or documented in-house tab production.
