SAS Maverick Recurve Bow Review

[@bbb103]

This exact bow has been rebranded by at least one other company. It is also sold as the Sanlida Royal X8 Recurve Bow. SAS sells two completely different recurves on their website, both named Maverick. Chinese branding is often nonsensical.

what a dnd set in the back

[@tonymaurice4157]

Awesome reviews man, practical cheap bows and they all work great👍

[@Christian-xd3vg]

This is an excellent bow! Not only for beginners but also for serious hunters. With #45 on it, this bow takes a deer in a pinch. It comes without all the bells and many whistles other bows may be equipped with, but it's a quality piece that shoots well, it is reliable, robust and meets the taste of someone who likes it more traditional. A pretty good choice for an affordable price.

[@ArcheryGeek]

Christian absolutely correct and I really cannot day enough things about the company as well!

[@JimKimTheIdeaHunters]

Looks like a decent bow that'd probably also be an option for someone considering the Samick Sage. Great review, looking forward to learning more!

[@ArcheryGeek]

Thanks James!

Very helpful video. Thank you for posting.

You know the fps? Have you since put fast flight string on it? It says 60 inch I’m 29.5 draw just starting ordered a 40 pounder think I can grow into it? It just looked so nice

[@sweatnsawdust]

It is a 60 inch bow not 58

[@labtrainer09]

Maybe S.A.S. has increased the length of the Maverick in the three years since you did this review, but it now measures 60" (not 58") overall. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

[@ArcheryGeek]

I am not beyond saying I might be wrong 😊

[@Superglide96899]

I have had mine for 2 months and like it it does stack pretty bad

[@ArcheryGeek]

I’m drawing 29 inches and it hit about dead in at 47#. After 29 inches I don’t know 😁

[@podunk87]

Fast flight okay for it?

[@ArcheryGeek]

yes

[@shankspony9369]

Yet to see a comparison of this bow and the Buck trail Antelope. Same price range, etc. Would be a good review..

[@ArcheryGeek]

Thanks I’ll look into it !

[@timvandusen4192]

Looks like a nice bow. Nice review.

[@thrivedru]

Great review, sir! Great shirt aswell, eh? ;) Cheers, bud!

[@ArcheryGeek]

Thanks!!!

[@cloudtron337]

Did you transition

[@punch5ive]

How tall are you… trying to see size comparison I’m 5’9 and I’m not sure if the bow would look too big on me

[@ArcheryGeek]

I’m 6’2”. It would not be too big for you at all

[@w.d.daltonrowsell7532]

I just bought a 50 lbs sas maverick

[@stephentalbot3256]

What is the coast of the maverick

[@tonetone8980]

Im just getting into archery and not sure what bow to get. From what I've been able to see i like the SAS maverick. Im 5'8 200 lbs. Im trying to figure out what pound of draw to get. I see it on Amazon goes up to 60lbs. Is there any downside on using higher weight pull vs lighter? Would be very grateful for any insights

[@ArcheryGeek]

That is awesome! Please please get a 35# bow if you are just starting. You will upgrade in a year to maybe 45# but their is no need to go higher than that. If I were new I would buy an SAS sage off Amazon with 35 # limbs and order some 40# limbs for Christmas. You will enjoy shooting Trad so much more if you do that. Once you start to group with 40.. you can go to 45 but that’s all you need

[@tonetone8980]

@@ArcheryGeek would the sas maverick be a good one to buy? And when you say limbs is that for takedown bows? I know im probably asking stupid questions but like I said im brand new to this. Thank you for your help

[@MrCoursair77]

Is this a 60 inch bow?

[@ArcheryGeek]

62 inch

[@briaschr]

Looks like a Damon Howatt Hunter

[@ryanvivion854]

What arrows are you flinging? I’ve had my maverick for almost 4 years. They are rated for fast flight strings. For the money, this thing has provided MANY hours of entertainment as well as a few meals from cottontail, jackrabbit, and rattlesnake.

[@ArcheryGeek]

I’m shootings Easton axis, sometimes but mostly 3 Rivers wood arrows

[@dylanmoretz9065]

What kind of arrows and heads would you prefer for this bow?

[@ArcheryGeek]

For practice or target or hunting?

[@dylanmoretz9065]

Hunting

[@logandioguardi8850]

What is the draw length?

[@ArcheryGeek]

It’s up to 32 inches I believe

Hello & Greetings Archery Geek BJ9564 Lee here i like The SAS Maverick and i have it btw my mom bought it for me for Christmas i told her it is what i want mine is a 50lb Right Hand(i shoot both Guns and Bows with my Right Hand) i found it on Amazon it is hefty but man is it accurate i like to shoot it for both Target Shooting and now Hunting i plan on using it later on for Hunting Deer Elk Wild Pigs and maybe Bear Buffalo Moose and Caribou i'll do some videos over it later :) Thanks again i enjoyed the video

[@Doigy3]

Would you recommend it for hunting?

[@ArcheryGeek]

Absolutely would recommend this bow for hunting. 45# and up it would be a great bow paired with wooden arrows

Were you shooting inside your house? Your wife must be out of town! LOL

Why is there a cute girl on the thumbnail but no cute girl in the video!?

[@thrivedru]

Can I get some.... some.... pleated? Looking for some....uhhh.... pleated....pleated looks.... you know....

[@thrivedru]

You know....some real specific patterns...some.....some windswept looks.

[@emorse912]

Your background music is killing any ability to listen to this bow.

[@ArcheryGeek]

I have since eliminated most BG music. Hope this helps 😄

[@l4lsilver655]

What makes people call bows "beginner" bows

[@ArcheryGeek]

Great question. Think it’s cost mostly but feature set of the product would make it less beginner. Typically I don’t recommend anything over $200 for a beginner bow.
