Join us as we set up this brand new Samich Sage recurve at The Archeryshack. If you would like to buy a Samick Sage check them out here: amzn.to/2Te7QJq
Samick Archery Ltd makes their bows in their own factory in Korea. IT IS NOT THE SAME plant all the other Club-level bow brands are made. These are the actual Samick's copycats. The company makes these bows in South Korea. Which I would call the opposite of what China is. So, no need to feel positive about it coming from PRC. They are long-time Olympic Archery top score leaders. World Championship Recurve Target Shooting leaders. From 1975 till 2019. It is the legacy 90% of American producers would love to have. Even today, the Polaris and Sage are two top popular, if not the most popular, bows on the planet. You are working with bows, yet you have no idea what you have in your hands?
45# shooting 620 grain, 32” arrows and 2” feathers…………..what could go wrong. You are a long way from paper tuning straight out of the box. Great bow, no doubt when it’s got a matched string and arrows.
I bought this bow with 25# limbs for my wife, needless to say, I like it so much that I bought another set of limbs for myself. Being a compound bow hunter/shooter for 25 yrs, I must say its much more rewarding, when I shoot a group with the Samick than my Matthews compound..... good video.
I took 25# limbs for my kids. And my plan is to use those limbs too until I master it. The second pair of limbs, after I become a pro 🤣 with 25#, is ambitiously 55# I guess that was a stupid, but not a first time I do stupid things. My question is, are these 2 arrows good for my 55 limbs: 1- PointdonXero Carbon 30"Full Length:31.5" Spine: 340 GPI: 7.2 grain Shaft diameter: OD 0.291”(7.4 mm) ID 0.244”(6.2mm ) Straightness: 0.006”Weight: 23g Arrow Vanes: 2” highly flexible vanes. Tips:100gr field points 2- Tiger Archery practice Carbon Length: 30" Full Length:31.5" Spine: 500 GPI: 13.0 grain Shaft diameter: Outer 7.85mm Inner 6.2mm Weight: About 35g each And what arrows should I buy for 25# limbs? Thanks 🙏
Yes, you can do specific exercises to strengthen the required muscle groups, Google it. I have the Samick Sage in 50# and I can shoot it 2-3 hours a session. I'm 58 years old and workout with a bowflex. Benching 160# to 220# for workouts, maxing around 260-280#. I do flys, curls etc. If I'm diligent in my work outs, 50# is easy to draw and hold. I also workout with resistance (rubber) bands that allow you to focus on back tension and form.
@@flyfish6473 I'm 16, and not that strong and can curl 40 pounds with difficulty. And I never lift weights. I just do yardwork and shoot my bow. Is this normal?
@@gavinharbath2553 I answered your question on building strength narrowly, I should have gone further. The beauty of the Samick Sage and similar 3 piece bows and ILF, is that you can buy various limb weights. If you are just starting out in bow shooting, then you should start with light weight limbs, say 25#-35#. As you get stronger/comfortable and learn proper technique with that lighter limb weight, then buy new limbs in a heavier weight. You can buy Sage limbs in the $60-$70 range so it's fairly cheap to move up in limb weight. As I said above, Google bow strengthening exercises if you want to accelerate that process. Have fun, it's a great sport.
Great vid, bro. I love the Samick Sage. I’m thinking about picking up a new bow. Do you have any vids or info on a BearPaw Slick Stick? I’m kinda digging the longbow/recurve hybrid
I just got a 60lb samick sage getting it tuesday never used one before if its heavy like you say i hope i get used to it... smh i only went for that one cause i was told i was size 29 so people told me to get a 70lb but 60lb is all they had
I think they were talking about compound. Starting with a 60lb recurve is madness. In my opinion even 35lb for a beginner is too much. I understand getting a forty pounder if you're getting into hunting straight away but it's gonna be too much to get a proper form established and you'll be correcting the bad habits you learn for years to come. Luckily you can just order a new set of limbs for the sage for pretty cheap (and also find them used quite often) and use those for your practise during off season and then pop the heavier limbs on whenever the elephant season starts (or whatever you need the 60lb for :D ).
60 lbs is good for a young beginner. Most important thing is to shoot a lot of shots to get used to it and burn a hole in the target and let your musclememory do the rest
Lol i havent had time to use it yet until this day lmao theres only one shop in my city and due to covid 19 its closed lmao idk how to string the bow and since i dont want to damage my bow i havent done it myself
I'm the furthest thing from an expert you'll find, but seeing as you didn't get a response I'll give you my 5 cents: The short version is that yes, you can shoot this bow at 29". According to Google it's built for a 28" draw length. A little overdraw isn't gonna break the bow. To my knowledge the only way to be sure it's set at the right draw length is with a tiller setup, where you can pull the string with a scale and see what the draw weight is at any given draw length (I.e. 30 pounds at 28 inches").
I have been on the hunt for a good bow to being with. I'm not looking to hunt. I just want to target practice and muscle memory. So I was thinking 40 pound to continuously fire arrows. Any suggestions ? I liked this video and you seem to know your stuff with bows... You know arrow lengths weights arrow tips. . Anyway.. great video and thanks
You put nothing on the arrow rest. You need at least the included pad and then to shoot fletched arrows otherwise you need to have an arrow rest otherwise you are going to have poor flight performance. Also the string is junk... need to upgrade that immediately.
Just bought the 45#. I’m really enjoying shooting it. Getting better all the time. Hadn’t shot a bow in decades.
I think they are made in Korea. Been looking into getting back into traditional archery and this may be the bow I choose to start out with.
Thank you for helping me set this beast up! Emphasis on "beast"! Lol 😆
Interesting that you didn't show the full actual stringing process
Okay, I’m a beginner and have no idea wha just happened here...
His work bench is killing my nerves...... I want to clean it so bad I can’t stand it.
I'm with you Chris ... I had to take a knee.
Literally had to watch twice because it was so distracting.
Yeah what a sh*t hole I stopped watching someone that runs a work bench like that is a amateur at best no need to watch this channel ever again
How can i use a stringer without taking off the end protection?

Did you use those shoes as target practice when you ran out of targets mate? lol
Nice review man! Probably my favorite review on the Samick Sage I’m looking at getting it. Your with Lancaster archery is where I get it from?

Editor had to be fucking drunk editing the video....

1- PointdonXero Carbon 30"Full Length:31.5" Spine: 340 GPI: 7.2 grain
Shaft diameter: OD 0.291”(7.4 mm) ID 0.244”(6.2mm )

And what arrows should I buy for 25# limbs?
Thanks 🙏
If you did strength training couldn't you do 50?
Well if your a bigger guy tou should be able to draw more

Who would use orange parts on a beautiful wooden bow ? Not my choice for sure :)

If it's your first time with a bow 60lbs will be a bear to shoot.

I understand getting a forty pounder if you're getting into hunting straight away but it's gonna be too much to get a proper form established and you'll be correcting the bad habits you learn for years to come.

@@peternguyen1911 lol, 60lbs is good for a young beginner? On a recurve? No way brother.
Is this recurve bow good for a 29" draw length? And if so how do you know its set at that length?

Better videos out there
Did not show the final step on how to get the string on using the bow stringer
what is the recommended brace height for the samick sage?
8 inches or so
I need some new strings for both my recurves and longbows. Who do you recommend to buy strings from?
That was a fast stringing. I didn’t even see you set the loop
are these well made bows
I have been on the hunt for a good bow to being with. I'm not looking to hunt. I just want to target practice and muscle memory. So I was thinking 40 pound to continuously fire arrows. Any suggestions ? I liked this video and you seem to know your stuff with bows... You know arrow lengths weights arrow tips. . Anyway.. great video and thanks
If you're not going to hunt go lower than 40lb.
You put nothing on the arrow rest. You need at least the included pad and then to shoot fletched arrows otherwise you need to have an arrow rest otherwise you are going to have poor flight performance. Also the string is junk... need to upgrade that immediately.
Is there an American made version of this by any company?
