The Sage is probably the most popular bow in this category and price point, and I think for good reason. For one thing, the riser looks great. Online pics don't tend to do it justice, and the finish and colors are quite nice. The inlaid crest is a nice little touch. Most importantly, the bow shoots very well and as most take-downs, tends to punch above its weight compared to one-piece bows of the same poundage (i.e. IMO it shoots faster than similar one-piece bows). The popularity of this bow means that you shouldn't have any issues finding new or used replacement limbs if you ever feel like going up or down in weight (the same can't be said for cheaper options that can be found you know where). Now, the one issue for me is the weight. I'm used to one-piece bows, and compared to those, the Sage is pretty heavy. This may or may not be an issue for you, so it's not a negative in the absolute sense. Another point worth mentioning is this: many youtubers out there compare the Sage to other, cheaper recureve options but often fail to take into consideration that the sage has a) sight bushings b) a plunger hole and c) a stabilizer or fishing reel bushing... So keep that in mind if you're considering another take-down recurve. Anyway, an overall great bow, no regrets from me and I'd recommend without reserve to anyone looking for a 'standard' take-down recurve at a very reasonable price.

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.
