   I like the bow. It’s well built and accurate. Big issue I do have with it is the limbs are supposed to be 50 lbs at 28” draw but the one I received is only 39 lbs at 28”.

   Edited to add: the seller contacted me and I sent pics but they said they could not resolve the issue. Reducing to a one star due to the seller not standing behind their product. It isn’t a bad bow but probably better off with a Black Hunter.

   This bow is excellent! I had a Martin Jaguar Takedown that wasn’t too bad, but it didn’t feel 100 percent like a traditional recurve to me because it still required an arrow rest to shoot it, and it had a metal riser instead of a wooden one. All of that is not a problem with this bow. With the Sage the shelf is just like that of a traditional recurve so you can shoot it straight off the shelf, and it’s more or less all wood except for the parts that use screws to hold the limbs onto the riser. This is probably the closest you’ll find to a traditional recurve for a great price!
   With this bow it is much easier to become accurate at traditional archery because all you have to do is focus on your form if you are shooting from the shelf. You don’t have to compensate for adjusting any arrow rests or anything that could potentially be throwing you off as well as your form. That’s one of the main reasons why I got rid of my Martin Jaguar because it has a shelf like that of a compound bow, which requires an arrow rest to shoot off of. By shooting from just the shelf of the bow, you’ll know that it is just your form that is throwing off your accuracy. Also your fletchings should be feathers and not vanes, so they don’t hit the riser and throw your arrow off.

   I threw on a fast flight string from 3 rivers archery after sending about 200 arrows down the range. The string’s serving begins to wear a little quickly in my opinion. So although I didn’t care for the string, I love the bow. It has a huge sight window, and the inserts for a stabilizer or fishing reel as well as a sight or a quiver. So right there you have a lot of versatility when you combine the fact that you can also swap out the limbs. Although this is not an iconic feature of the sage, it is an appreciated feature for me. I personally have a 4″ stabilizer and mountain man beaver balls for string silencers. shooting at 50 pounds with a 7 7/8″ brace height. I just have to say that it shoots REALLY smoothly now. Really impressive for a takedown bow. It’d be good for a recurve but it is downright impressive how smooth this takedown recurve is. It’s a little heavy but for 140 bucks…. this is the one I’d go with 100 times over.

   The Sage is a classic “first bow” for many wanting a 3-piece take down traditional bow. It came with good packaging and protection, was easy to set up, and the thumb screw style limb bolts trade off visual appeal and smooth lines for very simple set up and take down with no tools. I did upgrade my continuous loop string with a flemish twist style (both work fine – it comes down to personal choice) – but if you want a bow to take down for transport and easier storage, or the option to quickly swap draw weights in a single riser, the Samick Sage is a perfect option for those shopping the “black hunter” style of bows. With the price to performance ratio being so good, you can afford to introduce others in the family to the sport as well. I ended up with a couple of them as shown.

   one of the limbs on the bow was slightly offset so one of the screws was tough to get in. It took me a while to figure out what was going on with it, but once I did…….this thing is awesome! fantastic bow not only for the price, but just a great bow!

   This is a quality product that made it easy to feel like a pro in a very short period of time! My brother made an amazing 1 in a million shot with this bow. #robinhood

    As a beginner in archery, I found this bow very easy to handle and with a little help from YouTube, easy to use as well. The only modification that I made is that I took my bow to a professional archery dealer and had a new bow string put on. I put approximately 120 arrows through this bow every time I go out to the archery range. This bow seems to hold up very well. I definitely recommend.

    Well…. For $200 I wasn’t expecting much. I bought the 50 lb. Man does this thing have a wallop when it hits. It seems sturdy and does exactly what it’s supposed to do while looking pretty good. The only thing I don’t like is the plastic bushing on the limb connectors but we’ll see how it holds up. For now I would say great for the money### EDIT. a few weeks into use and the crappy little plastic arrow rest broke. i suggest upgrading to a better arrow rest or put some fur on the shelf. thats what im gonna do

    Love this bow. Very accurate and smooth. Can’t imagine a better takedown recurve at this price. I highly recommend it. The only complaint is the string was pretty noisy no matter how I tried to tune it AND started coming apart at the top loop after only 2 months or so. Granted that I was shooting it fairly often, but it still shouldn’t come apart that quickly. I know they are probably trying to keep costs under control, but it just seems a shame for such a quality bow at that price to have a cheap string. I’d rather pay a few dollars more and get a better string with the bow. My advice: buy a Flemish Fast Flight Plus with the bow and use that as your main string (don’t forget the bowstring wax too). Keep the string that comes with the bow as a spare.

    Please see picture. As I pulled this bow out of the box, I could immediately see that this riser’s laminate is cracked, and the screws have wear holes. Made me wonder: is this a return from someone else? It’s in terrible condition. Low rating is for the seller’s quality control — Samick is an outstanding product; and the Sage is a wonderful bow. Ordered a replacement, but now that’s another week. Just food for thought.
