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. 👍

I'm almost 45 and just getting ready to pick up a bow for the first time too. This guy has helped me learn a lot, which I very much appreciate since I'm going at it without in-person instruction. Wish me luck! Hope you are loving it.

[@louisbailey4900]

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]

Thanks for the tip. I'm gonna look into it. I'm new to bows so it might be a good starter for me.

[@louisbailey4900]

@@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.

[@jv18echo]

@@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.

Just not a long enough draw length. I Got 31.5 lengt

[@WRMonger1]

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.

[@megacandid8789]

One thing I wanna point out for budget minded hunters. Shorter bows aren't automatically easier to get through the woods with, limb shape is important too. In my experience recurves have a higher tendency to get snagged and caught on thin branches, I like using a short-ish reflex bow nowadays, but I'm sure it depends on the woods you go to.

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.

[@AspiringSpaceWizard]

How is not traditional? Pretty sure its a modern recurve but still falls under traditional style

[@rezlogan4787]

@@AspiringSpaceWizard Not traditional based on its construction. Putting together a bow with thumbscrews is not adequate for those who want to replicate historical archery. It just isn’t. For people like us who shop based on aesthetics and performance, the Samick is fine, but it would be incorrect to call it traditional.

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 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.

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.

You can shoot a horse bow without hand "shelf" protection. Just nock it a little bit higher than you normally would. The arrow looks crooked but it won't affect the aim at all, and the fletchings won't touch your hand!

Airobow 54” 50lb. 3,500+ shots in. Purchased it 2 months ago. What sold me on was that I want it for hunting/survival so the compact size was a winner for me. Loving this bow now I’m looking to upgrade the string. Highly recommended

[@Doubtful-optimism]

Get a takedown bow so once you get stronger you can buy a heavier set of limbs for it. 40 pounds is the minimum in most states for big game but 50 is probably the ideal minimum for imperfect shots and not shooting a crazy heavy arrow.

[@40mmmikemike]

pse night hawk? also in Ontario the regulation for deer and turkey is 40# at 28 inches so should i get the 40# or the 45# just to be sure. I've shot compound bows for a while at 50 pounds. so WOOD this be a good choice?

[@AWretchedMan]

What arrows would I use for hunting small to medium game, for the top 3 bows?

[@Bowfella]

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.

[@RE1LLY-1]

I agree 💯 It's a great bow for the budget price, very accurate. Send a 50lb instead of40lb limbs. So bit stiff but it's so fun to use. And it's super fast huh!

[@ruffhausmalinois]

If I have to use household tools to make my bow operate appropriately I'm not going to purchase that bow at all.

[@garrettromer8499]

What recurve bow would you recommend for a 5'4 shooter with a 25 to 26 inch draw if I'm pushing it? It would have to be at least 40lbs to hunt with in Michigan. I wouldn't ever use anything less than 40 to hunt with anyway. I use a 70lb compound bow normally. I went to try out some 60 lb bear recurve bows today with 28 inch draws. Felt like I was pulling back at most 20 lbs and 62 inches tall would be a pain for my short butt to try and shoot outta a stand or blind. I know I'm not that strong. Ppl r telling me u only lose 2-2.5 lbs off the top end for every inch short of 28 inches. Those bows didn't feel anywhere near 30lbs let alone 50lbs.

i bought both black hunters in 60#, the recurve is actually harder to draw, and at the same draw weight! . i bought the spitfire reverse limb recurve, [$200] and it draws smoothly like the lb black hunter. .these three all shoot very fast, the shot itself feeling much better with the lb and spitfire bows

So I pulled the trigger on the Black Hunter long bow at 40lbs. Now can you recommend what arrows to use?

Love this video-always look forward to your latest. Have a Black Hunter, among many others, and it's great.
