Looks nice!!! I will stick with my black hunter longbows for the money. The diamond wood riser and the longbow limbs are faster than some recurve bows. The grip fits me like a glove and a 44 lbs limbs at my 29 inch draw I can shoot 350 spine full length arrows with 200 grains up front..
Very good video as always thanks for sharing it with us budge is very tier for us here in Florida now but for next year we will be better and I will get one of those
I am curious if you think these are worth the extra cost vs the sanlida royal x8 recurve. Just got the sanlida and am enjoying it. Are these a lot faster or what?
The issue and the only issue i have with the bow is that there's no option fore diferent limbs fore it if I want to up the lbs or change the length of the bow
@@instinctiveaddictionarcher8998 the bow is fantastic but I wouldn’t recommend the customer service aspect of it. Long story short, as a beginner I made the mistake of taking the wrong arm (thinking left was for the arm shooting the bow), I had to ship back the bow at my own expenses which got damaged along the way and then because I live in Canada, I paid duty twice….Oh and if this wasn’t enough, they made be pay 20% extra for them to ship the right bow back to me to me after I sent back the bow otherwise they wouldn’t send the new back which is illegal at this point. I told them I lost my job about 2 weeks ago to see if they would have any empathy towards this particular situation. I just wanted a new passion and try something new in this difficult time. They didn’t care about it at all. Oh well, from now on I will purchase my equipment from somewhere else and this cost me 875 Canadian dollars in total to get it…. The person who I dealt with was Luke. And I told him I would make sure to let people know of what happened because it is unfair to treat newcomers to the industry in such a way. Just as your information.
I think for my next upgrade I'm going to get some Black Wolf limbs and a Pat Norris riser, but those one-piece bows from Three Rivers sure are enticing.
Im upgrading from my first bow the black hunter recurve. My delima is between sitkin takedown or the oberon. I have the sanlida hermit which i love but even after silencing it i find it a little loud. The oberon is just sexy as hell but its fixed at the weight it comes as and i intend to keep increasing my pull weight to at least 50, the oberon cant give me that. The sitkin takedown gives me that option... but the oberon is just so dang gorgeous..
I recently purchased my first bow from 3Rivers Archery, hoping to start a new hobby after losing my job. Unfortunately, I made the beginner's mistake of ordering a left-handed bow, assuming this meant shooting with the left hand. When I contacted customer service for an exchange, they agreed to send a right-handed bow but refused to cover any shipping fees for the return or the replacement-expenses I had to pay out of pocket. I carefully packed and shipped back the middle part of the bow in a bubble envelope. However, it arrived damaged, and Luke from 3Rivers insisted on charging me an additional 20% of the bow’s value to process the exchange. Despite explaining my situation as a first-time customer struggling to get started in the industry, Luke showed no empathy. To make matters worse, when the bow was sent back to me, I had to pay import duties in Canada for the full value of the bow ($500), even though I had only returned the middle part. This led to me paying the duty twice on the full amount. In the end, I spent nearly double what I expected ($950 instead of $500) between shipping, duties, and additional charges-just for making a beginner’s mistake. While the bow itself is of high quality, the experience left me feeling taken advantage of. I would not recommend this company, especially for new customers in Canada.
Hey Jeff looking for an American made recurve for tree stand hunting.Curious on smoothness and speed compared to the Oberon?Hopefully no stacking.Thanks
@@realmissourioutdoors1045 yes sir the grips are perfect on the Oberon especially the longbow but the takedown version of the Sitkin is great as well, it’s a little smaller than the one piece.
Hi Jeff. I’m sorry to bother you. I have been wanting to purchase the Sanlida 62” ILF bow you talk about. I see the 60 inch bow on Amazon all the time for $299. I just have not seen the 62 inch bow. My drawl length is 26 1/2 inches. Should I wait for the 62 inch bow or would you recommend the 60 inch bow.? Well I do love your show and I watch every episode and you do a great job and thank you very very much Jeff. Hope you don’t mind me asking you a question.
@@instinctiveaddictionarcher8998 Thank you! Ive shot a Damon Howatt Hunter for 20yrs but its a 55lb bow. Im getting older and the idea of a 45lb sounds good to me! Thank and God Bless !
Love the videos. I’m lost I bought a bear recurve last fall 58” one piece. I shoot it ok not great I’m 6’2 with 29.3/4 inch draw I’m thinking I want a longbow? There are so many I’m lost . Don’t want to spring for a custom yet don’t know if I will like it. I plan to hunt white tail $400 budget what do you buy?
@@billnewell4456 wait until September when the new 62” Sanlida Hermit 10 ILF bow is available and I’ll guarantee you’ll be blown away with the smooth draw and performance of it! I’ve already got one and it’s the best for $300! I have two of them and I’m running the NAP flipper rest on mine and it’s a sweet rig super fast and accurate!
I really, really want to pull the trigger on this for my first bow. My only hesitation is the 58 inch length. My draw supposedly 28 inches. Also, I can’t decide between 50 and 55 pounds. I’m about 5’9 or 5’10, 270 pounds. Pretty strong. 41 years old.
@@llamawizard man the length is plenty good especially on the takedown but don’t over bow yourself starting out no matter what, the average 70 pound compound shooter will only be able to consistently shoot a 45# recurve and you can develop horrible form habits quickly going too heavy so keep that in mind brother 👍🏻
@@michaellawrence4371 Zero, I am simply their field staffer and do real world testing of bows for them and promote the ones I am particularly impressed with and do not have any commitments just a very strong personal relationship with the owner.
@@DixieBowhunter-m5g The Sitkin takedown in my honest opinion is the smoothest wood “budget” bow I’ve experienced, far above any Amazon bow out of the box and a much better grip design so yes to me it’s a great choice.

Another awesome video I can sit and watch your videos all day thanks for bringing it to us
The traditional archery pitch man.
Great video jeff 😊I shot my simmons swamp sharks for the first time today 👍 I'm in love ❤️ they fly Awesome
Great video Sir,
Love the focus ball, I use a Dixie cup pinned to a target and focus on shooting inside the cup
Nice! I shoot beer cans in front of a foam target and have gotten it a couple times from 27yds! Aim small, miss small.
Very good video as always thanks for sharing it with us budge is very tier for us here in Florida now but for next year we will be better and I will get one of those

Can you even get just the limbs for the Sitkin takedown? I just searched 3Rivers' website and didn't see the limbs being sold separately.
Dang Alabama, at first I thought you was talking bout American archery cheetah hunter special. Lol 😊
Thank you so much for your videos. Could you tell me how long the riser is on the takedown? Thank you and have a good day!
Im glad you shared these reviews jeff.....a friend of mine bought a black hunter to bowfish with......i was actually kinda amazed......crazy...
Would you say that this bow is better than the Oberon recurve.
Do the sitkin bow accurate on poundage (45# is 45#’s)??
Planning on a oberon or nyx over the next couple weeks
Do a review on a Sage one piece bow. I have one but not sure it’s one of the better budget bows or not. Thks
i also would like to see his review of the Samick Sage or even better Sypder and Spyder XL and most importantly the Ghost Takedown Longbow.
Aww that’s too bad. I have a 29.5 inch draw. The finger pinch is gonna be too much for me

Would a Oberon be better for smaller hands. I have a damon howatt high speed. Feels alright but want a fit bow thank you.

Huh. All bows are great?
Wondering or deciding between this or the oberon?.
Short version of a Howatt Hunter 👍🏹
Still waiting on the long draw Hermit 10! Do you know when it will be released? Thanks, Ron
@@ronbrown8559 supposed to be out in September for sure!
Does the sitkens shoot better than your Black Death royal X-8?
Jeff,
How do you think this bow will do for somebody with a 29 inch draw?
How would you compare that one Piece to the Bear Grizzly ?
Yeah look l a bear bow
Jeff, are you using the stock string in this video?
Thanks

@@tommyfowler9811 yes sir they said they would be available in September so hopefully anytime now, I’m really looking forward to it myself lol
it look to be just like the Creed bow, only in 58 inches instead of 60
Question have you ever shot a Farmington atlas I'm looking at maybe getting one but idk yet
Those are really quiet bows. I thought the one piece was even quieter than the TD. Where are they made?
Ok Jeff, which bow? The Oberon or the sitkin recurve? Which is quicker or smoother or just the better bow.
@@jasoncummings1755 Oberon 👍🏻

So it's not ilf. Do they have carbon limbs?
Impressive shooting Jeff! How would the takedown go with a 30” draw? Does it come in 60”?
@@Little-by-little-more I can’t tell you for sure but it’s even smoother than some very expensive bows I’ve shot lately and they only come in 58”
Jeff, where can we get a big backstop like that?
I use horse stall floor pads from Tractor Supply. Hardish to pull out but better than loosing it!
Do you think the Oberon is better tuan the old mountain mesa 2?
