Great all around bow.

The Samick sage is a great all around bow for the price. The reason for the four star review is the minor flaws. First the limbs on the three Sage bows I have are about five to ten pounds over their stated value. The Samick Polaris I have has the correct stated limb value. I have several Fred Bear bows from the sixties and seventies and even as old as they are the limb values are dead on. Since I have the Fred Bear bows to compare to here are the differences. The Samick Sage riser is heavier but that helps in the stability of the bow and overall strength of the bow. The limbs on the Samick tend to stack after twenty inches of draw and the weight of the limbs will increase significantly. The reason this is a issue is your arrows must have the correct spine for the draw weight of the bow. Therefore, if you have a longer draw get a bow scale and measure the draw weight for your length of pull. Finally, the resale of these bows is not very high. The pluses are this bow is a work horse and my go to bow if I were to hunt and not worry about ruining the finish of my bow this is the one to use. Furthermore, with the Sage you have the option of changing limbs once you get used to shooting. In addition, the option of having a fast flight string is very nice and since it is made of modern materials I suspect this bow will last a life time. I have shot my bows hundreds of time and really like the utility of this bow.Read full review
