Built on a durable one-piece magnesium riser, the October Mountain Ascent recurve in black at 40 lb is a 58-inch take-down for archers who split their time between target practice and hunting season (October Mountain part no. OMP81232). Forty pounds is a step up from the lighter Ascent limbs, adding arrow speed without turning the bow into a struggle to hold at full draw. The three-piece design breaks down for storage, and the riser’s built-in limb pockets are there for dependability every time it goes back together. Machine-threaded mounting locations take a sight and other accessories, and the sleek EZ-Fit grip fills the hand naturally. October Mountain includes a pre-installed Pro Hunter arrow rest and a Flemish string, and builds this black Ascent for right-handed archers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a target bow or a hunting bow? Both. October Mountain designed the 58-inch Ascent for recreational archers and hunters alike, so it works for target archery and for bowhunting.

Can I change the draw weight later? Yes. Because the Ascent is a take-down, the limbs come off the riser, and October Mountain sells Ascent limb sets separately so the same riser can move up or down in draw weight.

What comes with the bow? The bow ships with a Pro Hunter arrow rest pre-installed, a Flemish string and flathead socket-cap limb bolts.
