BLS
Flexibility
The BLS allows you to be permanently flexible. If you want to improve or change, you don't have to buy a new bow. You can easily replace the individual parts.
BLS
Individuality
Another advantage is that you can put together the BLS bow individually. You can choose between 52 different middle parts (materials and colors) and matching limbs. Each bow can be pulled out as soft as butter.
BLS
Transport
Are you traveling a lot? You can assemble your BLS bow at any time and store it in a bag. Even on a longer trip in the car, it takes up less space.
FAQ
BLS

Can I combine old Mohawk products with the new BLS?

Are there any exceptions when combining old Mohawks & the BLS?
