New subscriber and New archer 🇬🇧👍
Love ❤️ thank you!
Great quivers, great people! I have owned several, on recurves, longbows, one piece bows, take downs... I like the slide too. I currently have a strap and love it.
Loving it as well!
They have done a brilliant job with your logo! Looks sweet on there, if I have one made I’ll have to do the same as you and paint mine in white 👌🏹 I do like the allure of a bow quiver to sort of act like a weight to keep my cant consistent 😁
💯 and love your logo!
@@ArcheryGeek cheers bud! 😁 I am very tempted to make it look more medievally since switching to ELB, ye olde sniper 😂😂😂🏹🎯
Big fan of the ol' strap on bow quivers. I use the Great Northern strap on and used to use the kwikee slip on ones back in the day (they had no broadhead guard), all super easy to use.
Soften the rubber in hot water and then put it on while the rubber is still soft, as it cools down the rubber will tighten up. I use a mini boa quiver on my longbow check em out.
oh thats a great idea!!! thanks I will give it a try. I bought a mini boa and it just wouldn't stay still on my longbow. I will take it off and see if that works.
@@ArcheryGeek works a treat, regards from Australia 🇦🇺
Strap on is the most versatile bow quiver mounting system IMO. Are you going to have any more Quick shot episodes with traditional bow styles like thumb draw, Chinese and English longbow ? Would be very cool to hear about that at competitive level.
I do want to get some more styles of shooters on - do you have any suggestions on guest i can reach out to?
@@ArcheryGeek Joe Gibbs, Cliff Gadd, Lee Sniper, Ben Roth, Bow monster are a few I would really like to hear from.
@@xXGhostGoingDarkXx on it . Thanks
@@ArcheryGeek looking forward to it, great video BTW.
@@xXGhostGoingDarkXxHey that’s me! 😂😂😂😁😁😁 honestly I’d be down for a chat if Mick is 👌🏹
Whats wrong with you guys? Ive got a montana in 60 pounds. No hand shock at all and, with the proper arrow, no noise. Light as a feather and puts arrows where you look. Id recommend that bow to anybody for anything from rabbits to black bear.
I Love the Selway Quick Attach quivers they fit my recurve or Longbows , I do have a few strap on Selway too ! I own quite a few top brand name quivers and like the Selway quivers More ! Keep the Great Videos Coming ! Stay Safe & Healthy ! God Bless !
I am sold on this quiver. All the best, God bless you!
Thanks! That’s a great looking setup!
its a little bougie but love it!
Thank you for your effort 💪👍😁 I use Safari Tuff side quiver! To each there own 😊 God Bless 🙏😇❤️
I’ll give that a look too!
I wanted to try an eagle flight bow quiver as their quivers are light but I couldn't give up my old Chuck Adams hip quiver!!!
I am going to try other quivers I just need to save a few bucks now ☺️
@@ArcheryGeek Gunshy archery in Canada makes a different bow quiver. Looks heavy but some bow hunters swear by them..
I’m sorry but these are foam. No way they should be at the price point they are at. The makers want to say the money is for development of the design which is bull crap. This isn’t a computer or TV, it’s a foam target shaped like an animal.
I’m betting a lot is from logistics.. they are all big and bulky. I would love to see the price drop by about 20% though. Rineheart just needs to produce a backyard target that is sub $100 for 6-10 animals and that would drive prices down all over the
I have the same kind of target panic like you. I draw to anchor above target and really struggle to get the arrow down on target. Most times I hit 6-12 inches above target. If I try to force my hand down then the arrow will go even farther away from target.
I’m getting a lot better now .. months of hard work though
Target panic is a mental thing. No one just talking to you will likely help. You need to reprogram your brain and body influences. Practice form only on a string bow or using tension bands. Shooting an arrow initially can’t and shouldn’t be done for best results. You can’t, in one session, reprogram anything.
If you want you can hear what is being told to you and practice and trust the process
Hairy arrow rests get in the way of my aiming so I had to shave the fur off but that was the only problem. My Howard Hill arrows work great with this bow (68", 35# ). I always use fur silencers on the string, top and bottom. I've only shot it about 200 times but it has done everything I expected of a longbow of that length and weight.
thank you so much ,it's a really good video
Thanks!
I'd like to see how this compares to Lancaster's Galaxy version that got rid of those metal pockets and thumb screws with proper mounts when they did that redo of the Sage. (Galaxy Sage Elite II)
I have The little fox and it must be the older version since it has thumb screws and metal pockets. My southwest archery version has Alan bolts though and I think I prefer the thumb bolts
wow your arrows flew very nock high !! i would lover my nock set !! I have a question just am ordering a black hunter recurve 40lb ! My draw is 28 Can i shoot a 400 grain arrow?? Also can i just shoot target arrows cause dont plan on hunting with it!! At least not till i get deadly accurate with it.. Alot of of guys are shooting like 600 grain arrows.. can i shoot 400 grain arrows for target use???
you can definitely shoot 400gr, with a 40# Black hunter. Thanks for the comment!
The limb with the writing always goes on the bottom. I own this same Lightning Archery bow, plus a Samick Sage and they are almost identical except for the riser. Both limbs are interchangeable.
Thanks.. thought so but had no idea.
Yes sir.
Shes got good form for a complete bigginer. I have a Samick Sage and those limbs have a slightly different curve to them. Love my samick, cheap but had it for about two years and still going strong. Like the packaging to. Normally im very weary about getting bows from amazon but seemed you lucked out on that. Once i ordered a bow and the one i got was nothing like the one i ordered lol. But it was a cheap metal limb bow, but actually shoots very well. I would say for the price a very good bow, feather flights to, dont Normally see that on cheaper bows.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I love getting feedback on how other people experience buying from Amazon. It’s a bit of a crap shoot!
@@ArcheryGeek I worked at one of the UK branches for about 9 months, and there's a reason they can do next day delivery on mass.
Great job young lady!👍😊🏹🎯 Welcome to the trad world 🌎 God Bless Y’all 🙏😇❤️
Thanks everyone for watching - Don't forget to leave questions and comments, even if you just want to say hi!
Why not just buy another bow complete. 110 for the bow and 80. For limbs not worth it. I would just buy a separate bow.
Yes, I do longbow! English Longbow and modern Deflex-Reflex Longbow.
What poundage is your ELB??
@@ArcheryGeek I have ELBs up to 50 lbs.
I love the limb pockets ! It’s a hunting bow not target . To each their own though .
Great shooting Awesome!! i have been a compound shooter most of my life and have taken 25 deer since 1991 with a bow !! Love archery ! very addictive!! Im very intrigued by im thinking the black hunter recurve!! I think if i try one i will go with 40 lbs like you did because 60 lbs way would be way to hard to shoot!! I shoot a 55lb compound!!
if you are just getting into Trad, maybe a 30# first.. the limbs are cheap to purchase if you want to upgrade. Thanks for commenting!!
@@ArcheryGeek Thanks for the advice i was just thinking 40 lbs i could hunt with it
Yes!yes I do!❤
😍
Hill style baby
Awesome
Watching this made me put on my shoes, grab my longbow and quiver, and shoot in my backyard despite the 95-degree weather this afternoon!
Yes!
🏹 Hi how are y’all doing? Hope you are having an amazing day
So what string did you end up putting on the bow? Im heavily considering picking up one of these and I would like to put a great string on it.
TTT Strings. Trevor is awesome. Look them up on Facebook
Hi, im looking to get into arhery and buy this as my first bow. But i've got one concern. On amazon, its stated that max draw lenght is 30", but my draw is about 24.8", is that gonna affect anything, concerning that most people i saw on UA-cam said their draw was 26"-28" ?
24.8? thats what you measured? how? message me back and I can help.
@@ArcheryGeek well, thats what i measured with tape and divided by 2.5...i ordered the bow, so ill have a better measurement when it comes in...im 175cm in height(i think thats 5"10')
Love to see these getting out to the industry. That pro trigger is a great piece. The hunter variant is also a nice piece. The overtravel adjustability and ability to get it down to 1lb,on the pro make for an awesome shooting experience.
I have a black phantom bow from mandarin duck, begginer archer, mines 25lbs atm wondering when i should go to a higher poundage
good news is that moving up in weight is cheap.. try 30# limb upgrades
Thanks for the review, guys!
Our pleasure!
I never get tired of listening to Jimmy! I've watched all of his archery videos multiple times and he is always the guy I refer new trad people to because he explains everything so well...just a great guy !
Great review! I own this same bow and mine is magic too.
Loose the grip wrap and the hand shock will dissipate
Great information and review on the rise armament trigger. Leland has installed triggers and helped me on several firearm builds and reloads for competition and hunting. He is top notch at a reasonable price. Highly recommend!
I know I know.. not archery but this was a passion project for a friend and he does some really cool stuff with rifles!! Lots of love and new Archery content coming soon, so make sure you sub and hit the bell to get updated. Love you all! ❤🏹
Any thoughts or difference between the Spyder or the Tigershark bows?
I prefer the spyder XL it’s longer and smoother. You won’t be disappointed
@@ArcheryGeek Great. Thanks
Limbs interchange with the sage?
Yes
Thank you! Archery 🏹 Geek! I just ordered a 40 lbs. SWA Spider XL, Left Handed. I will use your video to help me put it together and tweek it.
"It's got a mouse in its mouth..." You literally sound like someone who's never been outside in their life. Lol
I haven’t. It’s scary out there!!
very serious organisation for a serious sport sometimes people are facinated by the beauty of a bow, or the flight of an arrow to the target, sometimes shooting is an introspection, to be zen but what makes an archer more confident is to know he learned with serious people !
This exact bow has been rebranded by at least one other company. It is also sold as the Sanlida Royal X8 Recurve Bow. SAS sells two completely different recurves on their website, both named Maverick. Chinese branding is often nonsensical.
"If the women don't find you handsome, at least they'll find you handy!' -Red Green
exactly!
You're onto it dude. Here in Australia it just gets a whole lot worse. I just jumped onto my dealer's website and the riser alone is exactly $1,000 and the separate limbs are $700. That is a lot of expense for a bow (as you say), that has a crappy looking old archaic limb fitting that looks like it is out of a lucky dip. From the same dealer, I recently bought a lovely 21" riser that is from Win and Win. It is truly beautiful, that was only $240. I bought a cheap pair of glass/maple limbs for only $200. One of the guys at our club who has a black widow, Predator bow and some new bow from the States that cost him over $3,000 said (when he shot my bow), that my cheap Chinese limbs are equally as smooth as his top bows. Because my bow is ILF, I have now ordered a beautiful pair of carbon/bamboo limbs for it that only cost around $300. Apparently these will shoot even better. The only person that would buy this bow would be somebody who hates Chinese products (Philip from Archery addiction on YT said a lot of archers do on the States), and is a FB fanboy.
I think that is bit of generalizing :) - there is a lot of love for our American boyers but if we hate chinese bows and arrows and parts, we sure do buy a lot of them. I see a lot of affordable bows at the range.
Nice review. I have been shooting the Oak Ridge Viridian, which is a 62" Samick Sage with a different badge. It has D97 Flemish twist string on it. My arrows are GT Traditionals. I've had it for four years. It has never failed me. Samick Sages are affordable but excellent quality bows.
