What is the difference between Standard, Custom and Premium?
Standard uses each model’s base build (for example, bamboo and ipe). Custom can use other noble woods, and Premium adds extra finishes such as snakeskin, buffalo horn, mother-of-pearl and resin details. The warranty also varies by version.
What is the warranty?
The warranty is 1 year for Standard; 2 years for Custom and Premium without fiberglass; and 3 years for Custom and Premium laminated with wood, bamboo and fiberglass. See the full text in Warranty.
Can I swap the limbs of a takedown bow?
On the Doom, yes: it follows the drilling and fitting pattern of school-bow limbs, so the limbs can be replaced with others from many brands.
How do I pay?
Payment options are sent together with your quote.
Do you ship outside Brazil?
Yes, we build for Brazil and for export. See how it works in Worldwide shipping.
Can I pick the bow up in person?
Yes. We agree on pickup or shipping when the bow is ready.
