I'm loving my 60" Satori. It has power, precision, speed, and to top it off it's so quiet. By far the quietest ilf bow I've ever heard. I was worried my detachable Quiver like yours would rattle but it actually doesn't.
Good Review. Satori from what I've seen... is a little on the spendy side.. Near 1,000 $ if you include tax and maybe shipping. I have some Satori limbs I use on a different ILF riser. But IF your not bone set on Hoyt... Tbow from Amazon.... runs about $200. A Satori China Clone. Personally I like Hoyt products... I have the Tiburon and a Formula Olympic Riser with Carbon limbs. and of course the 1 set of ILF Satori limbs... thinking about another set for another riser I have. Hoyts limbs for the Satori... are rated on the 21" riser.. you have to figure a +2lbs.. for 17" and 15" is +4 lbs. Hoty is top shelf ... as good as you can buy.!
I’ve been eying up a Satori for a second bow. They’re pretty pricey up here in Canada. I have a 40# 60” Bodnik Quick Stick that I bought second hand for a real steal of a deal. Love the bow, but would like the benefits of a takedown.
there are some advantages to buying a custom but you end up waiting a long time for delivery. a better comparison would be the hoyt and the Win and Win Black Wolf. production bow to production bow i believe the W&W brings a lot to the table
I would say "doing one thing without neglecting the other". That's what I did. But now it's often very hard to decide taking the Hoyt Satori or the Black Widow PSR. Both are realy great Recurve Bows. But I've got only two arms and can shoot only one bow at once 🤣.
Great job on the videos! I am very interested in the Satori but don't have any dealers near me where I could check them out and shoot one. Wondering what the mass weight of the Satori is compared to a custom trad bow and a compound bow? Also a little confused with choosing the right riser and limb size. I am 5' 11 and my draw length is 28". Pros & cons of shorter riser/longer limbs and vice-versa? Thanks for any help.
Medium limbs which gives me 60". The longer your limbs the better your draw will feel (usually) but all this is very subjective again. Say you bought a 60" satori today and stuck with it I don't think you would have any issues.
(In my opinion) a bows mass weight is a very subjective issue. My satori is heavier than my black widow for sure. But not so heavy that I notice carrying it around. In other words I'm never like "man this bow is like an anchor, my arm is tired from holding it". Now if you're gonna do a lot of stalking on hogs or something it may be more of an issue. But I don't think it will be a problem for you at all. It's definitely lighter than my compounds. I'm just over 5'11" also but I draw 29". I shoot 58" and 60" bows because I hunt from a tree so it just makes it feel a little easier to manage if I'm in a tight spot. I have a 17" riser with
That is very helpful. I also hunt primarily from a treestand for Whitetails (Wisconsin). It looks like you shoot the Hoyt stock limbs. Sounds like you're happy with those. Have you tried other limbs? Are you aware of a new bamboo limb Hoyt offers? Appreciate the reply, very helpful.
I have a set of uukha limbs for my satori that are easier to draw and hold but they're also 3.5 lbs lighter at my draw. The better comparison is my black widow carbon limbs, at 29" for both, my black widow is 44.3 lbs. My satori is 45.2. My hoyt shoots a 530 gr arrow 2fps faster and a 560 gr arrow 3 fps faster. In my mind that's about equal, a little more poundage and a little more speed. But my black widow pac is a $1500 bow... if that makes sense. They're not the "best and greatest limbs" out there. But they're plenty fast, accurate, and the satori is very easy to tune. It's also cheaper than most custom builds. That's why I recommend it.

@@Graderman3587 My archery instructor got me to a certain point and then said in no uncertain times 'now it's just arrows through the bow and down to you'. That was some five or six years ago and now I shoot competitions and sometimes frame. I've even taken the win on one occasion and come really close on several others. I still sometimes make poor shots (of course I do) but the difference now is that I recognise what I have done wrong.
@@Graderman3587 I gotta disagree!!! To some folks it comes naturally , and I admire them. I'm not one of them and I had to practice to be reasonably proficient. I still cannot compete with those truly superb archers that make it look so damned easy (but maybe given time. I'm not gonna give up trying). But that is not what it is about for me. I shoot field archery and I shoot comps so that I can shoot other clubs courses without having to join their clubs. My club hold open shoots twice a year, so it is reciprocal. If you haven't already, join a club, make some like minded friends, enjoy a bit of banter, challenge each other, enjoy the ride and I reckon your shooting will improve noticeably within a twelve month.
I think they are over priced compared to other risers you can buy. I bought a $130 21" metal riser from Lancaster Archery and it shoots just fine with TradTech limbs. Yes, I know it's cast instead of machined but it looks fine and functions the same as a Satori at 1/3 the price. If they would just come down in price a little or perhaps improve their quality control I'd be happy to pay more and buy USA but they are just unwilling to be competitive.

Thank you for this info my dude I knew nothing about this bow till now!
One thing, check the detent screws often. They'll loosen or in my case fly out. I had to order a new set. Put a wee bit of thread locker on them.

Target panic must have got a hold of this dude, it's easy to shoot well when you first start off in trad.
Hilarious you are

Do you have a link . I've been wanting one . Just can't punch the trigger on one for a grand
Nice videos. You should buy a cheap 100 dollar shakepear necedah x 26 and a old grizzly 60ss..70year. Compair to your hoyt
Not any more on the 3 days. Standard wait time is a month or more.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it!
My Satori is realtree Edge all over
It’s not 200 dollars cheaper on the link or am I mistaken?
It looks like the price has went up in the last couple months. Keep checking, I've seen them as low as 699$ on there.
AND --- and the satori handle has a lifetime warranty. THEY shoot fast
can someone tell me, on which riserlength, hoyt measure the draweight? for example,the 65lbs limbs are they 65lbs at 28" on the 17" or on the 21"?
They're measured on the 21. If you go with 19 add about 2 lbs, if 17 add 4. My 40 lb limbs on the 17 are over 46 at 29" draw.
@@hooversoutdoors thank you very much
Where do you buy a satori for 700?
They've went up since I posted this video. Now days you will spend around 700 for a used one
I have no experience with archery,I have a black widow I think we paid $750 for just sits here because I absolutely suck at bows
All it takes is practice and a commitment to get better! Either that, or I'm sure you can get your money back out of it, 750 was a good price!
