Thanks

[@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.

[@jimf1964]

One thing I like about your channel is you understand, and communicate that what you got, or what you can afford, or what you like personally are some of the most important things, and you’re not snotty about expensive stuff

[@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.

[@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.

[@jonvolat7985]

@@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 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. 👍

That exact TopArchery bow was my first and it’s a fun little bow to shoot. So, I’d probably agree with your brothers on that. But, I’ll have to try out those other bows you recommend and rank as higher. Always looking to enhance the experience as I grow and train as an archer. Thanks!

An excellent video. Well done. Lots of great information.

[@SaraB1686]

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing!

[@diy-hyrum9842]

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!😃

[@FPSWildlifeAngler]

[@puristconstruction4788]

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

[@ChurchInAshes]

these types of videos would probably be impossible if he bought all locally.

i thankyou for the video truely and honestly. a bow has been on the list for a while.

[@rachelm9350]

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.

[@notice_fpv]

Kramer, this is a great video and series. I'd love to hear your take on solid equipment that a newbie to the hobby/sport of archery should consider. Arm guard, Gloves/Tabs, Strings, Etc. I'm not even sure what you might recommend as "must have" equipment for the first timer.

[@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.

Make a video review about the Tbow ILF trad recurve bow. There's not much I could say about said bow, aside the fact that it is budget friendly, smooth to draw, appealing design and overall a very reliable bow for its price range. I've been shooting with the Tbow for a year now and I adored it ever since. The only cons by far is the archer himself, like any other bows one come across, it requires a tad bit of fine tuning. Amazing content as always, Kramer. Cheers!

Gotta agree there. I've got a Sage Premier from SAS and that thing is super good. Was a little skeptical when I bought it but convinced after my first 12 arrows. Love my Southwest Archery Tigershark is my first recurve...my favorite but that Sage is real close

[@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.

[@AspiringSpaceWizard]
