The Compact Archery Store
- Our Story -
I am what you would called as Mr. Modify. I love to modify and re-engineer things that came into my hand. Intuitively I have this believed that I can make something better than it was. It started from my toys, mountain bike, 4x4 car, house tools, outdoor survival tools etc…
I am also an outdoor person. For the past 20 years I have been doing MTB, camping, hiking, fishing and about 5 years ago I have started Bow hunting too.
The first bow that I used was a Compound bow. It was a great experience but I found that this bow is too bulky, very technical and sensitive. Therefore, it was not a reliable bow for outdoor usage.
Subsequently I ventured into Takedown Hunting Recurve bow (THRB). This bow is less bulky as compare to compound bow but for point to point movement, I need something more compact.
My search for a compact and reliable bow has lead me to my next bow, which is a Folding Survival Bow (FSB). At last I found a bow that meet my approach in bow hunting which give me agility and reliability.
I truly enjoyed the experience in using this bow, but over time my Mr. Modify mentality has set in and I was determined to make a better bow. With this in mind, I started a project to make my own FSB that is more compact, more reliable and accurate than any other FSB in the market. This project took me close to 3 years of R&D before my first prototype of FSB was made.
I named it Ez Survival Bow (ESB). I stared sharing my prototype design with my bow hunting friends who are hunters, archers or survival guru, and they are very impressed with my ESB. Our bow parts and materials are carefully chosen and produce by our local partners in Malaysia.
These partners have over 20 years of experience as precision engineering manufacturer and this will ensure that ESB is able to meet the highest possible standard.
Features
Riser and limb holding brackets material
To ensure ESB is able to withstand the harsh outdoor environment, we have used aircraft grade T6 aluminum to construct the riser and limb brackets. This material is light, strong and durable, therefore it is ideal for a survival bow.
We used a special surface treatment by anodizing the riser and limbs to create a matt black finishing.
Zero tool or maintenance requirements
The ESB bow is extremely robust and very compact. There is no assembly part, all you need to do is just unfold and string it and the bow is ready to fire. There is no setup tools, maintenance free and it is designed and built to last a lifetime.

Safe keeping of arrows during storage
The compact bow can store up to 3 take-down arrows inside the riser easily without bending the fletches.
 |
Bow limbs material
Our bow limb materials are made from the same high-tech deep flex composite fiber material that is used on most compound bow limbs in the archery industry and are cut using precision waterjet technology. Composite fiber is a durable and strong material and it can withstand all types of weather conditions.

Arrow rest
ESB can accept varies type of arrow rests such as stick on arrow rest, screw on rest and whisker arrow rest.
 |
Hunter sight
ESB can mount either 3 or 5 pins hunter sights using the ATA standard for mounting position and threads.
Tactical rail
A 3 or 4 pin tactical rail can be install on the riser to attach other accessories such as laser and clip on touch light for night vision.
Takedown arrow
Easton Aluminum XX75 Game Getter 500 spine arrows are chosen so as to endure the elements in a long term survival situation. Aluminum arrow is still usable even if it is slight band. This feature is very critical especially in a survival mode.
ESB take down arrow’s adaptor is made of marine grade 316 stainless steel allow quick and easy assembly. This stainless steel material is more durable, stronger and easy to assembly as compare to aluminum.
Handle design
The geometry of ESB handle grips was designed similar to compound bow or recurve bow. The more ergonomic handle shape will improve the accuracy of each shoot.
Special storage compartment
ESB come with a unique storage space to place a compact survival neck knife.
Truly ambidextrous design
The Ez Survival Bow can be easily converted from right to left hand usage by changing the limbs holding brackets and handle grip direction.
Archer paradox
The ESB bow was designed with a cut out window to allow the arrow to be shooted in the middle of the riser to minimize archer paradox.
Corrosion resistance and weatherproof
All bolts, nuts and washer are made from marine grade 316 stainless steel. This material will not rust and it will provide a trouble free experience out in the field.
Carry case
The carry case is made from double layer canvas fabric and is double stitched for extra durability. The opening edge and the base of the carry was made from leather to prevent arrow from damaging the case.
Note : The color of leather vary from case to case due to the natural condition of genuine leather.
Adjustable arrow tube strap
Removeable straps can be placed at both end of the carry case. To carry more arrows, additional DIY arrow tube can be attached with the straps. The size of the PVC tube will depend the numbers of arrow need to carry.
2 Vanes takedown arrow
Effective hunting range for a traditional bow is approximately 15 yards to 18 yards. Our 2 vanes arrow fly can achieve almost the same effective range as 3 vanes arrow fly.
The 2 vanes arrows option allow the hunter to carry 3 to 5 additional arrows and store flat in front of the carry case.
Furthermore 2 vanes arrows allow storage flexibility.
Multiway quiver
The carry case was designed specifically to allows for a variety of quiver carry style such as back quiver, shoulder sling hip quiver and belt quiver.
Hand-Free mode
You can carry the bow over your shoulder with the carry case strap provided. This option will free up your hands for other tasks while tracking.
Case carry style
There are multiple ways to carry the case to suit your preference (as illustrate above).
