Indian Takedown Bow Erenhill – Compact Reflex Bow 15–45 lb

The Indian Takedown Bow Erenhill combines the compact character of traditional Asian reflex bows with a practical modern takedown system.

Available under the Erenhill Brand in 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 lb, it offers options for beginners, recreational archers and more experienced traditional shooters.

The bow measures 130 cm / 51.2 inches, weighs approximately 400 g / 14.1 oz and has a maximum draw length of 30 inches.

Its flexible limbs are made from fiberglass, while the handle and rigid siyahs are made from acacia wood.

A Dacron bowstring and protective carrying case are included.

What is a takedown bow?

A takedown bow is designed so that it can be disassembled for transport or storage and assembled again before shooting.

This makes the design particularly convenient for archers who regularly travel with their equipment.

A takedown bow can be useful for:

  • travelling to archery practice,

  • competitions,

  • 3D courses,

  • workshops and training camps,

  • holidays,

  • storage in limited space,

  • transporting several bows or other archery equipment.

The takedown system used on this model is a modern practical feature. It should not be interpreted as a reconstruction of a historical Indian bow mechanism.

Indian archery and historical bows

Indian archery has a long and diverse history, and bow designs varied considerably between regions and historical periods.

Surviving bows from the late Mughal period demonstrate distinctive profiles with sharply angled limb sections, wooden construction and elaborate decorative finishes.

There was therefore no single universal design that represented every historical Indian bow.

The modern Erenhill Indian Takedown Bow is not a reproduction of one particular historical bow.

Its connection with traditional Asian archery is primarily expressed through:

  • compact dimensions,

  • reflex bow geometry,

  • rigid limb tips,

  • low overall weight,

  • agile handling.

Thumb draw in Indian archery

Thumb draw also has a documented place in Indian archery.

With this technique, the bowstring is primarily held by the thumb, which may be protected by a purpose-made archery ring.

Historical Indian thumb rings survive in museum collections and demonstrate that this release technique was part of the country's archery tradition.

Thumb draw differs from the Mediterranean three-finger release commonly associated with Western archery.

The modern Erenhill bow is not limited to one historical shooting method. Any technique should be used with consideration for the bow, the archer's actual draw length and safe shooting practice.

Historical Indian bows vs the modern Erenhill bow

It is important to distinguish historical Indian archery equipment from the modern model offered under the Erenhill Brand.

The Erenhill Indian Takedown Bow is not a historical replica.

Its construction uses:

  • modern fiberglass,

  • acacia wood,

  • a Dacron bowstring,

  • a modern takedown system.

The historical connection lies in the general character of compact traditional reflex archery rather than an exact reproduction of historical materials or manufacturing methods.

Fiberglass limbs

The working limbs are made from fiberglass.

Fiberglass is widely used in modern traditional and reflex bows because it provides a practical and durable working material for regular archery practice.

Before shooting, inspect the limbs for visible damage such as cracks, delamination or unusual deformation.

Do not use a damaged bow.

Acacia wood handle and siyahs

The handle and rigid limb tips – commonly referred to as siyahs – are made from acacia wood.

Rigid siyahs are a characteristic feature of many traditional Asian reflex bow designs.

Before each shooting session, check that the string is correctly seated and running through the appropriate grooves.

Lightweight design – approximately 400 g

The bow weighs approximately 400 g / 14.1 oz.

Its low weight makes it easy to carry and maneuver during:

  • longer practice sessions,

  • 3D archery,

  • dynamic training,

  • travel,

  • outdoor archery,

  • regular transport to and from practice.

The low physical weight of the bow does not mean that every draw-weight option is suitable for a beginner.

The correct draw weight must still be selected.

Overall length – 130 cm

The assembled bow measures 130 cm / 51.2 inches.

Its compact proportions make it easy to handle, while the takedown construction reduces the amount of space required for transport and storage.

Maximum draw length – 30 inches

The maximum draw length of this model is 30 inches.

Do not exceed this limit.

Archers should know their actual draw length when selecting both the bow and suitable arrows.

115 cm Dacron bowstring

A 115 cm / 45.3 inch Dacron bowstring is included.

Before shooting, inspect:

  • the bowstring fibres,

  • the loops,

  • the centre serving,

  • string alignment,

  • correct seating in the string grooves.

Do not use a damaged bowstring.

A practical travel bow

One of the main advantages of this model is its takedown construction.

The ability to disassemble the bow makes it convenient for regular transport and storage.

It can be particularly practical when travelling to:

  • archery practice,

  • competitions,

  • 3D archery courses,

  • workshops,

  • training camps,

  • holidays.

Protective carrying case

A protective case for the disassembled bow is included.

The case helps protect individual parts from normal abrasion, dust and minor impacts during transport and storage.

It is not a rigid hard case, so the bow should not be placed under heavy luggage or equipment.

Draw weights from 15 to 45 lb

Available draw weights are:

  • 15 lb,

  • 20 lb,

  • 25 lb,

  • 30 lb,

  • 35 lb,

  • 40 lb,

  • 45 lb.

Lower draw weights may be suitable for technical practice and newer archers.

Higher draw weights require appropriate shooting technique and physical conditioning.

Choosing a bow that is unnecessarily heavy can interfere with correct shooting form.

Is the Indian Takedown Bow suitable for beginners?

Yes, provided that an appropriate draw weight is selected.

A beginner should be able to:

  • reach full draw safely,

  • maintain stable posture,

  • control the bow throughout the shot,

  • perform a smooth release,

  • repeat the technique throughout a practice session without excessive fatigue.

Traditional and instinctive archery

The Erenhill Indian Takedown Bow can be used for traditional and instinctive archery.

Its compact and lightweight construction makes it suitable for:

  • target shooting,

  • recreational archery,

  • traditional practice,

  • dynamic shooting,

  • 3D archery.

3D archery

Its low weight and compact dimensions also make the bow convenient on a 3D course.

Always use suitable arrows and follow the safety rules of the individual course or competition.

Choosing suitable arrows

Arrow selection must match both the draw weight of the bow and the archer's actual draw length.

Important factors include:

  • draw weight,

  • actual draw length,

  • arrow length,

  • spine,

  • total arrow weight,

  • point weight,

  • shooting technique.

An arrow must always be long enough for the archer's complete draw.

Assembling the takedown bow

Before shooting, check:

  • correct connection of all parts,

  • secure seating of the components,

  • limb symmetry,

  • correct position of the siyahs,

  • correct string installation.

Never force the components together.

If a part does not fit correctly, identify the cause before using the bow.

Never dry-fire the bow

Never release the bowstring without an arrow correctly nocked.

During a dry fire, the energy stored in the limbs is not transferred safely to an arrow and can damage the bow.

If the bow has been dry-fired, inspect it carefully before using it again.

Storage and transport

Store the bow in a dry environment with a stable temperature.

Protect it from:

  • prolonged direct sunlight,

  • high temperatures,

  • excessive moisture,

  • severe impacts,

  • pressure from heavy objects.

When disassembled, store and transport the bow in the supplied protective case.
