Upon receiving the 45# Sage I visually inspected it. The limbs were excellent and the riser was ok, with only a couple draw backs – blocky looking and skimpy finish, this however is not a problem for me.
I assembled the bow and checked the brace height which was 7" - perfect, and the pockets were very tight. I then put a straight edge down along the pockets and found them to be spot on straight. I then checked the tiller and it showed -1/16" bottom tiller – excellent. I then grabbed a tiller stick that I had on hand and put it in drawing the bow about 18" and checked limb straightness – perfect, straight as an arrow, no sanding the sides of the limbs to get them straight. The riser is laminated with about 16 laminations – this makes the riser extremely strong – no worries about this riser ever breaking, bending or twisting. This should make it at least as strong as a magnesium riser and much stronger than a single piece of wood.
I knocked the string 1/2" and took a 2413, 2312, 2213 and a carbon 6075 – the carbon having vanes and not feathers. I set up a target and whoa – it shot all of them very well – this tells me that the deflex riser is very forgiving and this bow is going to be a breeze to tune. It has a nice smooth, progressive draw and is very quick with no objectionable noise – a distinct twang to it. Some puff balls in the string and now just a "swoosh". To say the least I was "drop jawed". "What a great shooting bow for only a few bucks" I noticed no fishtail or porpoise to the arrow flight with any of the aforementioned arrows with only a slight kick-out with the vanes. It is a real pleasure to watch an arrow fly off the riser straight and fly straight to the target, without developing any hebie-jebies along the way. I might note here that this 45# bow on my scales shows 45# at 28" and 54# at my 31 inch draw length.
Over the next 24 hours I had to twist the string several occasions to maintain the 7" brace height – after sitting for over 30 hours in a strung condition it has finally stopped stretching and it took 40 turns in the string...
The next day I decided to see what this bow could do – I mounted a front sight and took a mechanical release and used the 2413 with 4" feathers – no rear sight and I didn't bring a range of tip weights. With a 4-5 shots I adjusted the sight to be close to bulls-eye. From 20 yards this bow grouped 12 shots in a 5" circle with 4 shots in a 2.5" bulls-eye. Wow – with some bow tuning, arrow tuning and sight adjustment this thing is going to be a nail driver. As it sits with 5" group it is just about ready for hunting season – by the way, the 5" group is shooter error and not bow error. At full draw holding 54# only gives me a bout 2 seconds to find and get on bull – then I develop what some might consider the "DT's", I am only used to holding about 28# from my compound.
The next day I took the bow apart and took it to my shop and with a drum sander and also hand sanding I took all the hard edges out and smoothed them into gentle curves. With 4-5 coats of clear gloss Lacquer the bow looks like a bow costing much, much more.
I highly recommend this bow for all levels it is a very accurate, forgiving and fast bow. For the advanced/expert, which I consider myself to be – it will definitely put a smile on your face and leave you with the same "drop-jaw" amazement. For the intermediate, this bow will enhance your shooting fun and will definitely assist you in your progression. For the beginner, this bow is so forgiving that you will be shooting above your level, even if you know little about the tuning process and happen to be a little off.
I have owned 50-60 compound bows, 7-8 recurve bows, which are down the road, and this one is a keeper, because it shoots so well and is so fun to shoot. I have never hunted with a recurve because I didn't feel that any were accurate or fast enough – this year the Sage is going hunting.

I had to sand down the limbs to fit them to the riser. This was annoying but for the price I accepted it. It shoots nice and is a great back-up bow for practice. Wood finish is fine but the parts are not designed specifically for each other. It was nice and light and the power description (60lbs) was accurate. Overall, for the price, it was a good purchase. I store this in our holiday home so that I always have a bow to shoot with.

    This bow has so much "BANG FOR THE BUCK" it's unbelievable. It is so easy to assemble and takedown and is as rugged as a bow can get. I have a 55# Samick Sage 62" and I am able to hunt anything from carp to deer without a problem. This bow is a blast and at such a low price. I would recomend to any and everyone!

        I purchased this bow with 35 lb. limbs. I vas so impressed that I ordered 45 lb. limbs for hunting, if that time comes. I have recommended it to my back doctor, as the back excerise it gives has improved mine greatly.

            Honestly I have no complains about this bow. For the price it can't be beat. As some others have said the finish wasn't perfect but it'll get scuffed and scratched in the feild. Just remember to but a stringer and rest. I glued some trimmed up fur to the shelf for the rest.

              This is my first bow and I am more than happy with it. I am shooting instinctively and at the moment I have only used it for target practice both indoors and out, in all weathers. I have no gripes at all. The $ setup fee is also worth a look as the bow comes ready to use right out of the box.

                I am beginning archery again after a 26 year hiatus and I love this bow! It is exactly what I was looking for to get back into archery. Since I am starting over, I grabbed the 30# limbs but I love the fact that I can buy limbs of greater draw weight and use the same riser as my strength and skill increases. I am very satisfied with the performance and with my bow tuned to ~8" brace height, I find the arrows flying true and with power; of course, these are the impressions of a beginner and more experienced archers may not be so impressed. That being said, I think this should be the "go to" bow for a beginner and I enjoy every arrow I draw with it.

                Service and delivery comments:

                Very prompt delivery and good packaging.

                  I don't think you can beat this bow for the price! I shoot it along side my friends who shoot Bear, Bob Lee, and other high end bows. We all shoot pretty good,and my best friend and I hunt together all the time. This year was the wettest fall I've ever seen here in Alaska. The woods are thick and have a lot of spiny vegetation and dried spruce and dead falls where we hunt, so it's not easy to get around in. My Sage held up great. I shoot year round, and the original string serving did start to unravel this winter. I've had the bow for almost two years, and that is the only issue I've had with it. I'll re-serve the string and be back in business...I shoot the 55# bow, but I wish I had the 60# limbs...they just didn't offer them where I bought it here...
