I can’t wait for your follow up video to get your thoughts, I’m considering going traditional only because a lot less things to go wrong compared to compound and in the long run cheaper and definitely a lighter setup. I’ve got a long bow but it doesn’t fit my long draw length in a compound I’m 31.5 to 32” so I’m limited, but good luck on your adventure ✌🏻👍🇺🇸
If you have trouble getting a good tune or Nock high year don’t be afraid to try an elevated rest. (The bear weather rest is actually a great affordable option). It will also get the arrow up closer to your eye and can help with accuracy. Looking forward to watching you get in the woods with it!
Keep up with the open mind. Nice rig that you have. I chose the hoyt 2 piece quiver for mine. The idea being more surface points, vibration control, and it would still fit my RX7's that would not get loose as a QD may do. As mentioned, you have a unique stringing technique. Since I have been using elevated rests since 1977 on the Ben Pearson and the Bear 50lb and 60lb ers, I automatically went to that format for the satori as well. The Satori is my first ILF and love the tweaking of limbs or setup to make this your own! What a feature. Love it!!!! Changing out the grips already though. Too much irritation to the top of my grip hand. Enjoy the new bow and keep on learning.
Thank you so much for the reply and feedback. What is your recommendation for a stringing technique. The method I used is what was recommended in most videos I’ve watched.
@@bpointtv Keep the bottom limb string in place since brace height is adjusted on the lower part of the string. Use the top limb for de-stringing or stringing. That was how I was taught.
55 pounds is a lot of weight coming from the compound. You most probably are going to be overbowed. It is much better to go lighter (40-45 pounds) and then increase than get too heavy and start picking bad habits when shooting. Also, keep it as simple as possible. In trad, you do not need all the gismos you use on compound bows. So shims, stabilizers, etc.. are really not needed. I shot since I was 9 years old & always from the bow shelf and only with string and limb silencers as the only accessories. Glad to see you are getting into traditional bow hunting. It is magical and you will enjoy it.
I've only shot traditional 7 months so far but I've learned a ton from trial and error. First thing I wouldn't shoot any more weight than 55lbs I've got bows all the way up to 70lbs what you run into with heavier draw bows is you have to front load the crap out of your arrows to get your arrow weight in that 10-12gpp range also soon as you start front loading your arrows more than 250-300 grains total I get knock high that you can't get out unless you raise your nock point to high to correct nock high usually have to choose a stiffer spine and then it makes your arrow hang out to far because you can't cut it down enough. Satoris are rated 21inch riser and short limbs I believe every 2 inches on riser shorter than 21 gives you 2 lbs over what the limbs are listed at. Depending on your draw length your bow will tune good with a 340 spine and 250-300 total up front bare shaft tune once u get your form down again don't chase weight turns into more issues than it's worth if you shoot 3 under I've had good tuning anywhere from 5/8-a full inch above center I recommend timing some floss for nock points until you find where your bow likes the more weight up front the higher that nock point will end up
That is alot of very good and helpful advice. Thank you so much for taking to time to pass along all of your knowledge. Appreciate you watching the channel and we are excited to bring more Trad videos your way 👍.

Great rundown on the bow.
Thank you bud 👊

To be fair the satori is easier to draw I've got a satori that draws 70.6lb @28 and a 60lb bear super grizzly the satori is way easier to pull
I will say the 55lbs does draw smooth but it will take some shooting to build up a little more muscle strength.
Thank you for all the great advice. I’m very excited to dive into the traditional world.

Very interesting way to sting the bow. Why not jsut do it the easy (right) way? Any advantage to doing it the hard way?
Always Use a Bow Stringer !
The Easy Way Your Saying Will Twist the Limbs !
I love my Hoyt Dorado 👍
