paint and wraps do add alot of weight onto an arrow as well and weight does give penetration

Very good advice. And the point about leaving the bow strung was news to me, so it was well worth watching this. I'll save the video and get started on straightening the damned bow...!

Thank you i needed that, thanks.

The snake eyes were a cool touch

I know this is an older video but I enjoyed watching it. Here in Michigan we have the same kind of winters. This year has been pretty mild is far. Good shooting by the way.👍

Good engineering Tim.

Thanks John love this bow just got it today, fast shipping! 1st 6 shots bullseyes. All setup and ready to go when you open the box. Looks good. fast. Does not have the white line through the center a little disapointing. It is not a black hunter knockoff I have 2 and they have totally different feel. This one is better.

I would like to see what speeds can be reached at hunting weight arrows.

I really think that you get that good speed, among other things, because of the light weight of the arrow. 344 greins, is very little arrow weight to hunt.

Were you using a target arrow or a field tip pointed arrow? Which would change to speed drastically

That would be ten grains per pound

Just purchased this bow so far I really like it. At 50lbs it's fast for sure. Just had a couple questions. Where is the brace height set from back of the shelf, center or front? And why did they take the center line out of the riser that's what drew me to the bow so was a little disappointed when it showed up jet black. But really good shooting bow.

and do yall sell those clear glass limbs? 40 lbs bl.hunter

do your limbs have cut corners and a single locating pin?

I’m sorry, we never sold that model in our Samick line so we can’t help you with information.

Nothing about the samick nighthawk / lightning ? I can't find decent info about it...

Wow! Great video! I just recently have got back into shooting Archery (finishing a self bow that i started 15 years ago). I had a bow that looked identical to the Samick Sage. I bought it from my local archery shop in Iowa. Well over twenty years ago, I paid 225 (i am pretty sure) for that bow. As I talked with guys that had customs, I felt like 150 more would have have almost bought me a custom bow. But, also as time went on, I began to really like the bow. It said "Kiowah" on one of the limbs...anyway, thanks for the talk on this line of bows. 👏

It seems that companies like Mandarin Duck, Obert, Glurak, SinoArt ect., all buy their risers from the Chinese company Junxing Bows and then just rebrand them. Can you verify that this is true or untrue with Twig Archery (Big Rock) bows? And if it is true, how is doubling the price compared to other companies justified if it is indeed the same bow?

Nice video. How do you like your Micro335? I had to change from my vertical compound bows to a cross bow last yr., because as I age I can’t keep up the poundage to stay legal for deer hunting. I’m currently shooting a Sub1 lite crossbow from Mission that I like but have always been interested in Excalibur. I would probably need to use a crank to cock it. You mentioned 16”, 440 gr arrows (including point I’m assuming). Does the 335 have problems with limb breakage? I’d be buying the bow used and not sure if Excalibur covers limbs on second owners. Thanks MW

Good shooting, but that is an awful light arrow put a more realistic hunting weight arrow 450, 500, 550 and see what it shoots.

Ps the factory string doesn’t come w string silencer’s 😂

Fantastic video, thank you very much.

Hi sir can u use this bow with recurve limbs and long bow fro same riser

John, That was pretty fast for a economical crossbow and accurate with the wooden bolts.

Wow! So much inconsistancy with these bows. Another takedown video shows a thin rubber washer between the limb and the main brass colored washer. Seems it would be better for wear on the limb and noise. Mine didn't come with those. Don't know whether to order some or not.

You are the best :) :)

You are the best in the whole world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi sir. I got into traditional archery several years ago, and I am now wanting to get back into it. I have a Red Stag, but I am curious if limbs can still be had for it? I am looking to buy one of your Emerald bows shortly with some completed arrows. Possible also a Sage as well. Thank you for the great videos!

BAMBOO NODES! I LOVE MINE! BAMBOO IS ONLY WAY TO GO. I GOT MINE FOUR YEARS A AGO, I HAVE SHOT THE HELL OUT OF IT. STILL PERFECT. THUMBS UP!

This is the gold standard for fixing twisted limbs. I have used this method on over 50 vintage bows with success each time. This method works on small twists and really bad, horrible, the bow will never shot again twists. Thank you Twig Archery for sharing. Rick Mansberger Redmond Sports Group

Hi John and Gayle glad to see you still making videos I love my black shark shoots great and my grandson loves his ;

Does your Granddaughter shoot the bow or just help you with a video?

and when using split finger, don't pinch arrow nock with your fingers

The original nightfire with the stag antler is still being sold on ali express right hand only

You said your draw length is 28" and the arrow length is 31.5" but @3:28 there's roughly only 1", if that, sticking out. You're overdrawing the bow.

I don’t see it on your website

Are you making this bow with the lighter limbs?

How do you like that thunderhorn quiver

Which ilf woodgrain hybrid limbs are those in the video and what size riser is this 17 or 19? Tks for the video.

were can you buy the nite-fire ilf recurve bow

Great review. Wish I could still get some of those bows.

I had a bear kodiak magnum 65lbs. It only shot like 200. Wonder what that bow would shoot with 55lb or 65lb limbs.

My black hunter is awesome. It’s 120.00, just buy it!

Thank you for your video!

Hardware store and pick up derlin plastic sleeve.

18 or 19 in. Riser

Great seeing you still promoting trad

Wats braice in this bow ?

Where is this manufactured?

Sounds like a great shaft. What is the longest available, and what about the diameter for fitting nocks/points? Very impressed with your woodie you were showing at the start!
