  • This is the bow that has introduced thousands to traditional bowhunting and traditional archery! The Samick Sage recurve is an awesome bow at an affordable price. Doesn't matter if you use it as a bow to get your feet wet with or a bow that hunt the rest of your life with. The Samick Sage Recurve is a smooth shooting, excellent, durable bow that does everything you want it to.
    The Samick Sage is a 62" recurve available in a great variety of bow weights and either right or left hand. The Samick Sage is also a take down bow that breaks down small enough to fit in a duffel bag for easy travel. You can also get different weight limbs for the samick sage recurve.

    I've had my Sage for about three years now, and it is still my go-to bow among my others. I take it hunting, stumping, backyard target shooting and trophied in tournaments. (Shoots as accurately as the operator) Recommend it highly.

    I bought 2 Samick Sages recently. Both are absolutely fantastic. I can’t imagine beating it for the price.
    Not a single bad thing to say. The fit and finish and quality is way above its price point. And they are shooting like bows that cost 5x the price

    I love the samick sage. Besides being a nice bow, it's easily one of the most beautiful. Most more expensive vows are alloy risers. Ugly. The laminated wood riser is gorgeous. I like the long, but not too long length. I've got 40lb limbs and 60lb limbs. They're all i need.

    I agree with most of what you say except for one thing. If I was a new archer and I wanted a bow to get started with, I wouldn't buy it from Amazon just to save money. I would get it from an on-line archery company such as 3Rivers Archery in Indiana or Lancaster Archery Supply in Pennsylvania. I intend to buy a Sage Elite from LAS come the first of the year. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

      Those are great companies too. Amazon is also. Don't believe what you hear on the news and bs like that. I am and have been associated and sell on amazon for the last 8 years. 95% of everything slod on amazon as sold by mom and pop shops that send thier products to amazon and amazon handles the sale and shopping for the mom and pop shops (or as wr are called 3rd party sellers). Amazon is a search engine and a warehouse. And many of us sell our stuff on amazon. The ibly things amazon sells is thw stuff branded amazon basics. All others are sold by small time stores

    In my archery class we use a samick polaris which is really similar, i think with a bit more holes so we can add more accessories and my self, i use a Black Hunter recurve (25 pound) which i love. I love to use both but i have a preference for my black hunter. ( there are less holes so it's realy traditionnal, i can't add anything but, i am still very happy ) and i think i will keep it for my life unless i find something else ( i know i am young but, i know my self )

      Awesome! There are a couple companies that make a licensed version of the samik sage and they are all amazing! I jave also heard great things about the black hunter bows as well. Amazon and 3 rivers archery are great places to buy one. You will want to figure out your draw length first as trad bow weights are measured at 28 inches of draw and goes up 3 pounds per inch over 28 and drops 3 pounds per inch under 28. So if you draw 29 inches and get. 45 pound bow it will actually be 48 at 29 inches.

      I can not answer that as the arrows need to be set up for her and her bow. But any archery shop can sort that out for you pretty quick. Or you can start with some of the arrow spine charts to get close and fine tune.

      the string on it is good and works fine. I would bare shaft before buying a dozen arrows. but in the meantime as you are learning form and getting started, post on a reputial forum like tradgang.com and ask what size arrows for your weight, draw length etc. and you will get great recommendations that will get you in the ball park.

    When I got to order it asks, left or right hand orientation. I’m right hand dominant do I choose right? Sorry if that’s a dumb question but I know nothing about bows. Also, I’m a 5’9” male 165lbs. When choosing the Lb option how tough is the 55lb for beginner

    • @SamkoTradBow
      @SamkoTradBow  4 роки тому +2

      Yep of you are right handed you will pick a right handed bow.
      The bow weight is determined at 28 inches of draw as a standard and weight will increase or decrease by about 3-4 pounds per inch if you draw more or less that 28 inches. Sounda like you will be right around the 28 in draw zone by your height. So i would thing that is a little heavy at this stage. Id probably go 45 or 50. You can always get heavier limbs later for like 50 bucks.

    So Jason I got a Samick Sage yesterday. When I put the string on the bow, it's barely twisted. I measured the brace height and it's 7.75 inches. Is the string not twisted ok? It's a 25# bow (just starting). I haven't put on silencers because there's very little twist and I don't know if they will stay on. Any advice appreciated.

    • @SamkoTradBow
      @SamkoTradBow  3 роки тому +1

      I think we have our sages set up at about 8" of brace height. I dont remeber what kind of strings they came with as I make my own. Is the string a Fleishman twisted string or a endless loop string. Endless loop string has serving around the loops. If its Fleming twisted it does need some twists and should loop like a candy cane. If it's Endless it doesn't need much twist. You can buy a good Fleming twist string for it from 3 rivers archery or kustom king archery or other traditional archery shops. The store you bought it from might also sell them. Feel free to email me a picture of the bow string if you need to. Jason@tbwpodcast.com

    • @SamkoTradBow
      @SamkoTradBow  4 роки тому

      Cant go wrong with any tuffhead! The shaft size and total head weight all work together so you have to start with one and then select the other. So if you want to shoot a heavier head like 200 grain and up I bet you need a 400 spine shaft. But also everyone has a different release and other variables with a traditional bow that really makes any suggestions on arrow set up just a suggestion. You will need to bare shaft test to see what works best for you and your shooting style. Id buy the broadheads and total point set up you want to use then get a couple test shafts in 400 and 340 and see what one works best. Then once you jave it all figured out buy more shafts. Also make sure you get feild tips the same weight as your broadheads so you can test accurately. You dont want to bareshaft test with broadheads.

    • @eamoncrawford
      @eamoncrawford 4 роки тому +1

      With the overwhelming options available I opted for GOLD TIP TRADITIONAL I went with the 500 spine and am leaving them at the factory length of 32". I'm using these factory fletched with "feathers". They are avail 6 at a time this way (12 if you just want the shafts). With the 6 fletched shafts they send 6 inserts (you will need adhesive i.e. TIP GRIP or another super glue that is recommended for this purpose). I also suggest purchasing a 25 caliber bronze bore brush to "score" the inside of the arrow shaft so the glue will adhere better (clean all surfaces to be glued with a wipe down of denatured alcohol as well) I use a cotton swab dipped in the alcohol to swab the inside of the shaft. If you need the arrows shorter you may want to check out lancasterarchery.com or 3riversarchery.com either will cut them to your desired length (for about a $1.00/arrow) and they will install the inserts also (for a fee). My local archery shop charges the same. Best deal on these arrows is amazon.com but the package is always torn up. The arrows seem to be fine though. Lancaster and Three Rivers are a few dollars more expensive but they offer the services and the arrows I have ordered from them are always in pristine condition (and they give you the feather color option as well, which is something amazon.com does not do... despite the description the colors are always ramdom.) I hope this will help you out. Best of luck to you!
      P.S. Go to GOLDTIP.COM they have spine charts, f.o.c. calculator (though we probably don't "need" that for recurve) and other "tools" to help you find what will work for your situation. Most of the quality arrow manufacturers have these tools to help you out. Easton, Carbon Express, Bohning, etc. I think Lancasterarchery.com and Three Rivers.com have some tools to help with arrow selection too. I'm a fan of NUSensei on UA-cam...some of his videos might be helpful.

    Hey Jason,
    I’m looking to order my sage soon and would like a few recommendations.
    I’m looking to use this next year to practice and get accurate for next year hunting season, and am hoping to go out for elk. And I know you need at least a 50lb bow for those large animals, so I was thinking of ordering 40 or 45lb for practice and get the 50 or 50lb for hunting big game. However, my only fear is that I will have to tune two separate arrows to each bow, and I’m going to try and get a high FOC. Is there any way around that, or do I have to accept that I will have to tune my arrows to each bow?
    And is there a certain poundage I should start with? And in your opinion, what poundage should I use for elk?
    Thank you!

    • @SamkoTradBow
      @SamkoTradBow  4 роки тому +2

      I think your plan is solid on the buying a 45 and then getting 50 pound limbs for elk. I also believe that if you set the arrows up for high foc you will be able to use the same arrows for both limb combos. Might maybe have to make a slight tip weight adjustment but nothing crazy or that will be hard to do. 5 pounds is not a big deal at all.
