I had the pleasure of meeting Brad at the Chamberlin Ranch traditional shoot in the Santa Ynez Valley last weekend. Boy was I impressed. Brad's passion for the sport and willingness to teach have truly inspired me to delve deeper into the sport! I'm hyped to see a west coast based archery UA-camr! Keep it up! You have a loyal subscriber!
Thanks a bunch. It was nice to meet you. Friend me on Facebook, and check out my POA Facebook page. I typically post more stuff on that platform at this point. Let me know the next shoots you are going to. Maybe I'll see you there!
I like... Light. So... it may be the Win & Win Black Wolf Carbon riser for me. I also have a issue with the plate being plastic. Why couldn't they have done that is something that will not strip out? Way to go Hoyt. If I did go with the Satori.... I would have to use a elevated flipper rest.
I owned a 17" Satori riser and found it with nice finishing and pretty good but not durable finishing of the paint. I also didn't like the riser it gave a wobbling when release and gave me the filling the shoot was not consistent. I ended up seling it on a second hand online shop.
@@darinfry1543 yes, it is... The traditionals that reach 200fps are already very high speed bows. 245fps is à speed that target compound bows at 28" reach.
Great timing for me as I am in the market. I am a traditional wood bow, so moving to metal is a bit uneasy feeling for me. a year and half later... is it painted?
Yes, indeed. I am in the process of putting together the next videos, and I will definitely be shooting it. I hope you enjoyed the video, and stay tuned.
I’m looking at getting an ilf for this hunting season but don’t know wht riser and limb length to go with …. I have a 28” draw and am trying to go with a 62 inch bow …. Do you think a 19” with medium limbs or a 17” with longs would work better ?
Yes it is possible to string walk on shorter risers. I typically won't string walk on one piece short bows, but ILF I have no problem. My Satori is set up with a fixed crawl set at 25yds. I shoot long limbs with my 21" Satori so it helps mitigate string pinch on the fingers. You may also want to adjust tiller on a shorter ILF bow to get a better tune, and relieve stress on the lower limb due to string walking.
A couple of months later, I love the bow. The bow has a great fit and feel in the hand, and shoots as good as any other riser I use for competition. I also like that it has other options for grips styles that can be changed out. I'm currently shooting the Jager 3.0 high wrist on it, and transitioning back and forth from my competition rig to this bow is no problem at all to get used to. I'm a huge fan of ILF as well, and I love that I can set it up pretty much any way I want with any limbs I want. Compared to other ILF risers in the same ballpark, I believe you get a better package as well. You won't be disappointed. Hope this was helpful. Stay tuned, I will be putting out a video of shooting the bow, as well as a camo tutuorial very soon.
Point On Archery would you recommend this as a first bow? I’m greener than grass when it comes to archery but this looks pretty solid. (If this’ the one i’m thinking of)
@@spoonbruh741 Absolutely! It is a fantastic riser that is rugged and very well made, especially for the price. For a trad ILF set up, it is all the bow you would ever need if you only bought one bow. I am very pleased with mine. I recently got back from a hunting trip to Texas and it was a great bow for the trip.
Very nicely done on this video sir. I am impressed by the quality of this video, from the information you have given us to the b roll etc. Well done sir. I am looking at possibly adding one of these to my tool kits and it is nice to see this video being a new one and a new channel. Here is my question since it shows you know what your talking about, they have 3 different riser lengths, Which one did you get and why I can't find a good video even from Hoyt on what would be best IE, I'm 6 foot tall, will be shooting from a stand, very seldom from a ground blind etc, what would be best, I am thinking I need at least a 60" total length, for a good hunting set up. I have been shooting a 58" bear and can feel the "wall" come on strong at my 28.5" draw length, as well as strong finger pinch on the anchor, it don't matter if I shoot split or three finger, get some decent pinch, not a deal breaker but I am thinking 60" would be a better feel. Oh an no, no-one near me sells this to try out so I know it is just a general ball park question. We enjoyed your video so much we subbed your channel as well. Keep up the fun work and good luck on the upcoming season my friend. Have a blessed week Dale
Thanks a bunch for the appreciating the video. I'm a bit slow at it, but I enjoy putting them together, and if it helps others out, it's all worth the effort. To answer your question, I purchased the 21 inch riser( the longest one they have). I also purchased a set of long limbs for it as well, which ends up putting the total AMO length at 66 inches. I too have a longer draw length and find shorter bows to be a bit stacky and I get a lot of string pinch too. You'll find that the longer the bow( especially for taller people) will stack a lot less and be more comfortable in the string hand. I also shoot a fixed crawl, which is why I tend to like a longer bow even for hunting.The cool thing is, if you decide to go with the 21" you can play around with multiple sets of limb lengths to find what best suits you. With the 21" Satori, that will put you in the 62, 64, and 66 inch AMO length for small, medium and long length limbs...Since you are shooting from a tree stand, I wouldn't worry about the length, since you will have the opportunity to trim any branches that may inhibit your shot. I hope this was helpful. The satori is a great riser, and I recommend it in any length you decide to go with. Feel free to message me with any other questions, and have a great week. -Brad
It has 2 milled holes on the side for a quiver mount. Not sure if it will fit a sight with those mount holes. Good question though. I'll look into seeing if others have done this.
I believe you could if you wanted to. The riser does have two tapped holes for adding on a side mounted quiver and the like. I have never tried to mount a site on this riser, however, I do currently have a Trophy Ridge Lite Lock mounted where these screw holes are.
@@PointOnArchery thx for answer brother, i was wondering would that be able on 17" hoyt satori cause some of peoples say only 19" and 21" have holes for pin sight so now i am confused 😳
@@vladocash8040 Haha yeah, it gets confusing. I only have experience with the 21" riser, unfortunately. It appears from the images that I have found that the 17" does not have tapped holes to mount a quiver or pin sight. You could always go with the 19, throw a sight on it, and shoot shorter limbs if a shorter bow is what you prefer. That's the beauty of ILF. Almost endless configurations.
@@PointOnArchery ill listen you brother, i am totaly noob in archery but i like satori riser and i want it for ms first bow, as you said illgo with 19" if i dont find those holes ill yell on you 😂,,joking and sorry for my broken english i am from europe 😁
@@vladocash8040 haha well all the images I have seen of the 19", it does have the tapped holes, so I'm sure it will work just fine for you. The Satori is an excellent riser, and I love mine. Like I said earlier, if you like a shorter bow you can always set the 19" up with short limbs. I have the 21" with Long limbs (66" total), and I have no issues hunting with that set up, and the draw is very smooth. Good luck. If you have any other questions about the Satori let me know, and I'll do my best to help.
I set the tiller bolts to my desired setting that tunes in well with my set up and arrows. You shouldn't have to worry much about them going out of tiller, just pop the limbs out of the limb pockets, pack them and go. When you get to your destination, just pop the limbs back in, string it, and check your tiller and brace height with a bow square. You might have to twist your string a bit to achieve the same brace height, but other than that, you should be good to go. I hope this helped.
@@rikertvonfulton16 No worries, buddy. I travel a lot with my bows and break them down all the time, so let me know if you still have any issues with brace height or tiller. Maybe I can help you trouble shoot. Let me know if you fly out for a hunt. I'd like to hear about it.
Thanks so much!! I ended up going with a set of WNS glass/wood long limbs. They shoot nicely, and since they are budget friendly I don't worry about dragging it through the woods.
Why would you spend 899.00 for a riser when you can get the exact same one cloned from china milled on a milling machine with the same exact metal for 150.00 ? Hoyt imports the metal blocks from china so you know its the same factory that is making all the blocks of metal .
Still planning on it. I hope I can get it put together soon. With my current schedule it's looking like it'll be sometime in the beginning of 2020. It's been a challenge with my current work, and training schedule to get all the vids I would like edited and uploaded. I'll do my best to keep them coming!

The push makes something called the Accutune for shooting off the rest. Check it out. Very adjustable and would last better I think

Good fit and finish for a Hoyt is something you never hear in the compound world
Fit maybe, finish....nope. I've had 3 hours, 2 compound and a buffalo recurve. The black they use on their bows flakes off.
the grip is excellent
The rival of the satori, the Win&Win Black Wolf is not bad too. Mine shoots at 245fps average, it's completly bonkers.
245 is insane for a traditional!?
@@darinfry1543 yes, it is...
The traditionals that reach 200fps are already very high speed bows.
245fps is à speed that target compound bows at 28" reach.
Love that riser the satori is my next bow 45 pounds 19 inch riser hopefully that’s a good mix I have to order online sight unseen
I have the Hoyt buffalo Fred eichler series. An excellent bow
I agree 100% I'm in love with mine. Stay tuned, I am working on putting together a couple more videos with the Hoyt Satori.
@@PointOnArchery Nice to hear, Yeah no worries I keep following you :D
Solid video man. Great quality, great edit, everything. Can't wait to see more.
Thanks, buddy. I appreciate it. I'm working on the next one as we speak.
Great timing for me as I am in the market. I am a traditional wood bow, so moving to metal is a bit uneasy feeling for me.

More hoyt satori videos.
I'm in the process of working on some. Glad you enjoyed this one. Stay tuned...
What did I get out of your obsession nice doll.
Would you mind makin a vid shooting it? I subscribed. I used to have a Buffalo I loved it I'm very interested in this riser
Yes, indeed. I am in the process of putting together the next videos, and I will definitely be shooting it. I hope you enjoyed the video, and stay tuned.

@@PointOnArchery those holes looked placed for a sight mount, hoping you can fit a plunger instead of shelf shooting.
@@leemarsh6014 Yeah, you should be able to set up a plunger if you want with the Satori.
Hello i have question can you install sight pin on this riser?

How do you quickly re-establish your tiller after fully breaking it down? Like if you where flying commercial for an out of state hunt.
I set the tiller bolts to my desired setting that tunes in well with my set up and arrows. You shouldn't have to worry much about them going out of tiller, just pop the limbs out of the limb pockets, pack them and go.

@@PointOnArchery I meant brace height sorry!

Great vid. New sub. What limbs will you put on it?
Thanks so much!! I ended up going with a set of WNS glass/wood long limbs. They shoot nicely, and since they are budget friendly I don't worry about dragging it through the woods.
it needs a weight, and then its good. paint job is horrbile it chips to easy.
Why wouldn’t you talk about the limbs?
Why would you spend 899.00 for a riser when you can get the exact same one cloned from china milled on a milling machine with the same exact metal for 150.00 ? Hoyt imports the metal blocks from china so you know its the same factory that is making all the blocks of metal .
