    The samick sage is actually a great bow. Set your brace height,nock point,install some string silencers and it's as quiet and shoots as good as a $1000 recurve.

      @@geronimo67 I've been shooting recurves and longbows for 42 years,and best advice I can give is to form is EVERYTHING. U want the exact elbow placement,exact anchor point each and every time.
      Don't start with heavyweight,get your form consistent and when u shop for other bows,let the bow pick u. You'll know it....it just feels "right".
      That said,I'm a firm believer in the sage....just a great bow.

      @@geronimo67 I specifically bought a Sage to learn on a few years ago. After some months, once I tightened up my groups to my satisfaction, I went to a custom built longbow from Keegan McCabe of Omega Longbows. But... the Sage is a GREAT value proposition for a bow. I call it the Honda Civic of bows. It's not too expensive and maybe not the prettiest or most sporty looking, but an overall reliable and sturdy bow with overall high marks all around. And once I got good with it, I was throwing down tight groups at the range along side people with bows that cost 5-10 times more, with there alloy risers and ILF limbs, etc. You won't be disappointed.

    I’ve had a couple of compound bows, not my favorite (my daughter calls them “cheater bows”) a couple of long bows and a couple of recurve bows but the bow that I like the best is the self bow that I made. I watched some of your videos a few years back and was inspired to create my own bow. I wanted something in the range of 48” but after a couple of failures I realized it wasn’t going to happen, not by my hands. After one more quasi fail - it lasted for a week of shooting - I’ve now got a 70 lb bow (I was aiming for about 45 lbs) that feels like a 40 lb bow. It’s 68” long unstrung and is backed with rawhide. The grip and tips are wrapped in sinew with an extra leather wrap on the grip and a leather “tab” as an arrow rest. I watched one of your videos on brace height and adjusted mine accordingly and even though the total cost was somewhere around $40 this is my all time favorite smooth shooting hard hitting fun bow. I didn’t think that a piece of Homedepot red oak would payoff so well but hearing that you sometimes got it wrong gave me encouragement to keep trying until I figured it out.
    Thanks for posting and inspiring.

    I am 50 years old and have finally decided that I want to give bow hunting a try. I’ve always been a black powder & gun person. I’ve also decided if I am going to go the archery route that I want to do it with a recurve or a longbow. Your videos have and are very helpful to me. I’ve yet to make a choice or a purchase but I’m getting there. 😂 Thanks again and I look forward to more content from you. 👍

    Great videos Kramer. One more thing to think of is if you buy your bow from Amazon etc no money goes back into the sport through taxes, but if you get them from a local retailer, some of the taxes that retailer pays goes back into building the sport.
    If you can, purchase local, it’ll pay you back in the long run

    Please! More bow builds! Yes!!!
    My advice/opinion, as someone who found krammer's videos a year ago and jumped head 1st into bow building without ever shooting a bow; buy a bow 1st and see if you enjoy it. If it's something your going to put down in a month, then at least you haven't invested in materials and tools that you won't be using. But, I did it the other way and have no regrets! I love building(and breaking lol) bows as much as shooting. And it's now a huge passion in my life! All thanks to this guy's videos!😃

    I have two beginner bows - a samick sage and a samick lavita (not made anymore). I think they are both nice for a beginner bow. It depends though, if you intend to shoot a ton (like once per week) you might think of getting an ILF style and spending about $350 as an intro. However, if its just for fun and you don't care a ton you can't go wrong with a sage---> just add some sights and a metal bow rest and you'll be good.

For people like us who shop based on aesthetics and performance, the Samick is fine, but it would be incorrect to call it traditional.

  • @Bowfella
    @Bowfella 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    My experience with the toparchery bow was VERY different.
    1. *Noise* , Yeah it does rattle and it is noisy. But I was able to make it dead quiet with just basic materials around the house and some hot glue.
    2. *Arrow rest* I honestly only ever had noise issues with the rest because I was improperly drawing the bow by holding the arrow with my finger to keep it on the rest. When I learned to draw properly I never had an issue. I also like it because you can tune your arrows easier. Arrows too stiff? Screw the rest further in. Arrows too flexible? Unscrew the rest to bring it out more.
    3. *Weight* I'm sure it's heavier than other bows, but I'm used to carrying around an 8lb crossbow when I hunt so this is as light as a feather for me.
    All in all I got this bow for the takedown feature and customizeability on the riser. I could fit this thing in my backpack, throw a bowfishing rig on it, use any manner of arrow rest, or even sight pins.

      Or maybe it is crossed out because Kramer genuinely doesn't like it. Everyone's different everyone has different likes and dislikes, for example I ordered a black hunter takedown after watching this video and did not like it and promptly turned around and sold it. The financial hit was a small one and worth it to discover that I obviously have a different taste and preference in bows than Kramer. This was confirmed when I met a guy at my local archery range who was shooting that Hungarian style horsepower and he let me shoot it and I absolutely loved it. Point being I don't think Kramer crossed it out intentionally as clickbait. He seems to have more integrity than that

    you speak right out of my heart when it comes to 14:20! "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." (I Hope this saying has the same meaning in english, as it has in german..!) BUT(!) you have got to be thankful for what you have in order to be happy in this life.
    And also, 15:03, ... hands down. Period. (Aaaaaand.... I see what you did there... The reference to your video 9 month ago, when you extended your shooting skills by shooting 100 arrows a day for 30 days...)
    anyways
    Thank you for this ranking-series and espeacially for the ranking including your personal preferences. I really give a lot about your opinion on bows. (not at least, this is one reason why I found and follow your channel...)
    But furthermore, your videos are one reason I started to build my own bows.- And, plaese take this into account, that I am from Europe, from Germany, where it is not allowed to hunt with bows... (which definetly would have been an opportuity, if I lived in the US...) So, I pretty much just build them for the fun of building them, and less to actually shoot them. (Sad enough!)
    What I am trying to express... Thank you VERY much for your Videos; For the afford, time and (not at least) money you put into them. That makes the receiving of those "there is a new video"-notification from youtube so much better, every time there is a new video from you listed.
    THANK YOU.

    Glad to see this.
    Young guys interested in bows. And not just the newest high tech compounds! (I have 2 compounds, 1 needs rebuilt). My crossbow is a recurve, and once I get a sight on it, I'll be out practicing with it.
    Old or new, if ya dont practice and GET BETTER, the actual "gear" wont make you any better or worse.

    An expert thumb ring user has publically said to start practicing with low poundage bows. He specifically mentioned 20# as a good starting point.
    He has no preference for material that the ring is made of. Brass, bone, plastic didn't matter to him. He did say that a leather thumb ring did the job, but transmitted more sensation..
    You have a couple of low poundage bows if you don't give them away too soon.........

      looking at his size and his ease of pulling 50lbs, im sure he can start thumb draw with the same weight. muscles are slightly different but he will quickly adapt. no need to re-buy the bows @20lbs just to do thumb draw

    • @kirkboswell2575
      @kirkboswell2575 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@HistoricalWeapons - It's not the muscles. It's the thumb joint and tendons. And he doesn't need to buy new just for training purposes. He already has several he bought for other reasons, but he said several times while discussing the good points and bad points that he "gave that one away". I was merely pointing out that if he refrained from giving any more of them away he already had the tools he needed to learn thumb ring shooting already. That is, according to the recommendations of someone who did it all the time - and it had nothing to do with the ability to pull the bow, but rather that starting out too heavy resulted in bad habits that made accurate shooting more difficult.

    highly recommend learning thumb draw. its awesome. you can get arrows away so much faster plus it makes you feel like a warrior. i made my own simple leather ring which is just a folded piece of leather with holes punched through both ends so i can lace it shut. i shoot a 50# alibow Kheshig which was about 330usd and freaking amazing for the price and the leather ring works fine. i opted for a horse bow over a recurve to accommodate my 32" draw. no stacking, fast as hell

  • @1xayekim
    @1xayekim ปีที่แล้ว

    I think there are two elements when looking at bows that new bow buyers overlook or just do not have the experience enough to know what they like or know what they may shoot better with.
    Grip.
    Limb material and bow length.
    Generally speaking I can grab a bow and know instantly if I am going to like it. That grip is a low wrist grip that has a walled palm swell on the left of the grip and a wider swell on the right.
    Limb material and length is also a major factor in how forgiving a bow feels. Hard maple limbs on a 62 inch bow is going to feel more forgiving than a 60 or 58 for most people. Then when you change the limb material to say bamboo or carbon limbs the bow then feels even MORE forgiving to some and for others it feels lacking.
    The problem with most budget bows for me is that they are usually a middle of the road middle wrist grip so I took a wood rasp and sand paper to my Samick Sage and reshaped the grip to a perfectly shooting bow for me.
    I can shoot a 150 dollar Samick Sage that I bought 8 years ago where I modified the grip MUCH better than my friends high wrist gripped Black Widow.
    I always steer new shooters into the Samick Sage or the Black Hunter bows and usually steer them towards 40 lbs if they are a guy for their first bow or 30 if they are a girl for their first bow.

    If you do another comparison search, you should add the Northwest Nomad Warriors fiberglass horse bow. $100+shipping and it is pure shooting fun; just remember to nock up a bit when shooting off your hands. Learn to shoot left and right handed, thumb draw and Slavic draw and you’ve got a martial art. It’s short and great for sneaking through the forest if you don’t have a horse. Enjoy!

  • @RaccKing21
    @RaccKing21 3 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    I was watching this video, and noticed that you used the word "bow" a lot, and usually multiple times in a short time frame. So I counted how many times you said "bow". This includes the word in amalgam words, like "longbow", but not any instances that are in writing.
    So here are the stats:
    The Bow counter sits at 125 bows
    The video is 16 minutes long
    The Bow Per Minute (BPM) count sits at 7.8 bows per minute.
    This is just an average, as in some sentences, you said "bow" three to four times in a row.
    Not hating, it's a great video, just had a nudge in my brain to count.

    @danielklee2933 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The only bow I recommend here is the Black Hunter longbow, only because of those bows, it is the only one that I have held in my hand shot. I do not usually recommend anything made in china due to American's experiences with Chinese made products. However, this is a very well made bow, and it shoots so well that I bought one for myself. I have quite a few bows from Howard Hill, Bear, Northern Mist, Martin, Black Widow, and several others, but with respect to excellent shooting and reliability, I would give the Black Hunter a very high review. I would suggest that you look for a traditional archery shop in your area to see if they have one that you can see.

    I would say look for used, but collectors are snapping them up. I collected archery equipment and bows when the compound started. I downsized where I was going to retire at and started sell on ebay. You would not believe where I sent some of them overseas. I sold about 150 bows on ebay for a couple thousand and then had to move so I consigned the rest(150+-) and equipment to an auction. They advertised for months and when they held the auction I made over $5,000. Most of the bows I picked up at yard sales for $10-$15.
    I may try deer hunting again this year with the old BEAR recurve. I had a series of eye operations but I may be OK now. You would love that one. When I got back to the States I bought it cheap. It was cracked at the riser like someone sat on it. I screwed and glued and camo taped the whole thing. Took quite a few deer with it. I am glad to see people taking an interest in stick bows again. When I got back to the states and started hunting again, I felt like the Lone Ranger out there in the woods. Good luck this year hunting.
