Samick Sage?

Anyone have experience with them? I've seen a lot of good reviews online, but I'm skeptical of a bow made out of Chinesium.

Any other recommendations on a takedown recurve with attachment mounts would be appreciated. I would be willing to spend up to $500, but don't want to pay more if I don't need to. I'm new to archery, so I would like lower poundage limbs available to get started with.

Probably the best bow for the money that you will find, especially if you’re just testing the waters.

There is a bow on amazon called a black hunter..its a takedown and it comes in either a recurve or a reflex deflex long bow..theg have some excellent reviews..occasionally there is a dud..but rarely..it combined with a decent string makes for a dang fine beginner..an i think they are less than a $100

Killed a few with one. First recurve I had.

The sage fits into your description. No need to pay more.

Consider a Southwest Archery Spyder

It’s a mid-summer miracle. Good to see you posting again JohnnyLoco

It would be nice if it were mid summer brother, I’m usually spent by October, hottest yet to come.

I’ll be in and out brother.

I'll second that motion.... been a minute glad your crazy ass is back...

I’m the new improved Johnnyloco, Howdy.

i have the spyder. excellent bow. smooth shooting.

I honestly dont think there is much practical hunting difference between a $150 mass produced recurve and a $1200 custom

I have a Black Hunter longbow, they also make a recurve. Both have good to great reviews on YouTube. I put a custom string on mine and it shoots really good. No attachment mounts though. You can get them for $100 - $110.00

You’d be surprised

Yep I've shot both n can definitely tell a difference but u can kill em with anything that'll shoot...

You’re probably right but my kids would rather inherit a nice custom bow instead of a $100 Chinese bow and therein lies the reason that I’m currently having 2 custom longbows built, a Toelke Whistler 2 piece and a Big Jim ThunderChild 2 piece.

I agree and love beautiful bows. I cuurently shoot a Black Widow but I also shoot. 1975 Bear recurve. Both shoot well.

I prefer buying American but it's not always feasable..I've had several Sage and Sage type bows.
Ditch the stock string amd add a good low stretch string and you will have a good bow.
The ones I had, after changing out the string, shot better than some high dollar recurves I've owned or shot.
