Samick Classic Takedown Recurve Riser

Amazing starter recurve bow!

Bought this as my first recurve bow. I am 5'6" tall so I went with the 62" 25lbs option as suggested by a staff member of Canada Archery Online. This was a great suggestion since the bow fits my size, weight, and strength really well. I am able to practice my posture and develop good habits with the bow while having a satisfying feel from the bow when I shoot. The riser and limbs came with a string, a generic knocking point, and arrow rest, so I can already start practicing with it without hassle. I highly recommend this bow if you are a beginner or even if you already have some experience since you can upgrade the limbs later to match your needs. The bow looks good and feels good in hands and is easy to assemble and disassemble. It requires no tools, except pliers to install the knocking point but you can shoot without it. Make sure that you get a stringer to properly string the bow without risking damaging it, though! tl;dr: great bow, get it, have fun!

Definitely a solid start for someone getting into it. Don't be silly like me and think you're strong so go straight to a heavy bow. Start low and work up, your body will thank you.

My new Samick Sage takedown recurve

Bow was easy to set up. Got the string stretched and nock point settled. Pretty fun to shoot with 500 spine arrows and 150 grains up front(40# bow). Will do better tuning later when weather improves but for now very enjoyable to shoot, quiet and minimal hand shock. Great value for the money and perfect complement to my Bear Super Kodiak 50# hunting bow.
