Customer Reviews
So it was stated on the web site that these limbs are compatible with all Samick Sage risers. They were not. I don't understand why some people reviewing these limbs are satisfied with their purchase, whereas others say the limbs are not compatible. Are there two types of Samick Sage limbs? May be another model?
Look at mine in the picture. It's got two holes. The one I bought has only one.
I was very pleased with the bow and the arrows and I've been out shooting several times since delivery. It might help purchasers to know which arrow spine is correct for their bow poundage, although you do have a default of 350. I didn't see anywhere that provided the level of advice that would help a newbie match spine with poundage. Other parts of the kit, bag, arrow case, and glove were fine. The arm guard and quiver were pretty basic and I've replaced both but really for the price the kit is pretty good.
Very happy with this bow as my first beginner bow. I love the fact that You can buy new limbs at different draw weights. The only downside is that the limbs don’t come in different lengths. I have a short draw length and it would be great to optimize my bow by adjusting the limb length.
Samick Classic Takedown Recurve Limbs
The website stated that the Samick Classic Takedown Recurve Limbs are “ Compatible with older Samick Sage models”, however the limbs fit very loosely on my older Samick Sage riser making them unusable. The hardware appears to be different, causing the issue.
Bow sizing based on archer's height for Olympic Recurve
Olympic Recurve bows typically range in overall size from 66" to 70". Below is a rough guideline for new archers getting started in the sport.
- 5'5" or shorter = 66" bow
- 5'6" to 5'9" = 68" bow
- 5'10" or taller = 70" bow
The Height of a modern Olympic Recurve bow is dictated by a combination of the riser size and the limb size. Combining long limbs with two different size risers will result in two different size bows. The typical Olympic riser size is either 23, 25" and 27".
Bow sizing based on archer's Draw Length for Traditional Takedown
Please note, traditional recurve draw length is typically shorter than compound. If transitioning always scale down at least half an inch for draw length.
For Adults
- 5'5" or shorter = 60" - 62" bow
- 5'6" to 5'9" = 62" - 66" bow
- 5'10" or taller = 66" - 68" plus, bow
These are rough guidelines for new archers so they get the most out of their new traditional equipment. For some takedown bows limb length is not a choice. After some experience you may find you like longer or shorter limbs.
The Height of traditional takedown bows will often be dictated by a combination of the riser size and the limb size. A 58" bow for example can be made up of any combination of limb and riser size that creates an overall length of 58".
Traditional Takedown bows can come in sizes anywhere from 52" all the way up to 70". Bows that are longer in length are typically used in tournament situations while bows shorter in total length are used for hunting.
Age and Experience guideline
- 14 years old or younger = poundage should be the as their age. Example 12 years old should be shooting 12# bow.
- 18 to 14 years old = 16# to 20# depending on body build and height
- Adult: Beginner = under 20#, Intermediate 22# to 28#, Advanced with experience = 30# and up.
