I've been looking at bringing along a bow on some of my camping trips. Would something like pic related (or any takedown survival bow) be worth it or should I just buy a decent recurve bow and bring that along instead. I'm willing to spend about $150 but may go higher depending on recommendations.
I have a question somewhat related to this topic, so I'll post here for a bump. Can I use 18 or 20 inch bolts in a cross bow that came with 14 inch bolts, given it has the correct weight.
Only just starting archery myself but the Samick Sage is said to be a great takedown recurve for that budget. How experienced are you with bows?

I bowhunted at a younger age but fell out of interest. I know the basics and I'd say a but more

I've looked into the sage and it honestly seems like a solid option. Is there anything you would recommend buying with it or a specific bundle to buy?

The first thing that really made me stand out during Ranger training was when I made a little bow out of a bootstring and fiberglass rod.
I brought a couple of trout I speared back to camp and told the guys that I could get all they wanted if they donated parts of their MREs for bait to draw the fish to the top.
I probably didn't produce more calories than I expended, but it helped morale and my career as a leader.
