Hoyt Satori recurve bow unboxing and set up | Best recurve for the money? | Traditional Bowhunting |

Cody has taken the deep dive into traditional archery and decided to get a new Hoyt Satori. This feature rich recurve bow might just be the best and most tunable traditional bow for the money!

tip: brace height can/will change so setting and forgetting doesn't always work. For each of my bows I have one arrow in my quiver that, when nocked, has a mark at the back of the riser to indicate optimal brace height. That way I can check and adjust at anytime (have adjusted brace height in the field before) without a tape measure.

100 percent. Always good to check brace height. Especially when shooting a lot!

Going down when you switch to trad is great advice
I went from 70 pound compound to a 48 @my draw longbow and man I hurt for a couple weeks before I got my hands and shoulders used to it

Turn that music off.

Thanks for the comment! Definitely will consider that next time.

I like the satori and its on my list of risers that I'd like. Currently shooting a hoyt buffalo which I love.
Hoyt limbs are good but kinda meh in performance.
But it's kinda hard to claim best for the money when the price tag is $1000.
But it is competitive with other bows in that range such as DAS, Win and Win and others.
I'm glad they went back to the ilf limb system for their hunting bow , really opens up some options over the formula system that's on the buffalo.
Great buck by the way, really liked that video.

All great points! I've seen some satori bows new online for around that $850 range. If you can find one like that it's a great deal! .

​@@codybutlerhuntI've been keeping my eye out for a good price on just the riser.
Honestly I was kinda surprised that Hoyt didn't replace the satori this year. It been out quite a while and with Fred going over to Bear I thought for sure they'd have something new. Hoyt really does like to put someone's name on their bows.

[@codybutlerhunt]

@SuperRedseven I agree. They make good products, but definitely can be kinda goofy about some things. I'm gonna be breaking out my grandpa's old 1970 Bear Takedown again this year. That's my goal for the year.

So this comes with limbs? I have been looking at these but I was a little unnerved by the number of choices that there was. I was hoping that the risers are came with limbs

[@codybutlerhunt]

Yes you can get them with limbs
