- SAS Tactical Survival Bow VS Primal Gear Unlimited Survival Bow
Here is a comparison video between the SAS and the PGU. Comparing the two bows in materials, arrow speed, poundage, penetration, decibels, special features, and comfort. This has been an interesting and long video of testing processes and research to insure and capture the differences and similarities. Both bow performed very well in the testing processes and are great tools. It really comes down to personal preference and special features when deciding which bow is better suited for your needs. Hope you enjoy the video, and please comment with any questions thank you.

I love the way you added the DIY quiver to your bow. I am stealing your slick idea. Call your lawyers.😄
Ha ha ha!!! Well I stole it from someone else too, so I guess we are square... Thanks for watching!!!
One of the best evaluation and comparison video's on youtube. Excellent work!
Thank you a lot!! It was a monster video to put together, but these bows are so close together that I had to put them through the test!!! Thanks you for the positive feedback!!
I was just thinking the same thing - sooo good. I have the SAS Tactical Survival and love it. If I was going to do it again, would get the limited edition Recon. It is a couple of inches longer, but you don't need to unscrew, flip an screw the limb around. I think the only real option is to have both since 2 is 1. Thanks for a great vid.
One of the best, most complete reviews I've ever viewed. This answered every question I had about both products. Keep up the good work! Thank you for the great review.
Thank you for watching!!! And thank you for the great positive feedback...
ATB Todd
Hey no shooting in the house! Jokes I do itonce in a while! This has to be the most thorough test I have ever seen of a bow comparison, must have taken a lot of time and research to do this review, I can appreciate how much work you put into this. Well done. DOes your PGU have a slight curve to it from all the shots you have taken over the years? I was lucky enough to get a 65# version, unfortunately they were discontinued so it had a lot more power than the 55#. I personally prefer the SAS as shooter, its more ergonomically suited to my hands. I find the PGU has more sharply corned edges which aren't compatible with my grip. I agree about archers paradoz and the potential bolt loss, I recall those where my two main issues. As you say it comes down to preference, I prefer the smaller more compact form factor and smooth grip, but it would be nice to have a shelf, a quicker setup and rubber grip! Thanks again for an amazing review, you really know your stuff far more than I, I learned a lot from this vid.,
+Canadian Prepper Ha ha ha... That was my office on the warehouse I was shooting out of... LOL It was a lot of work testing, filming, research and putting this video together, but I wanted to capture as many of the elements of these bows as I possibly could. I am a person that has to understand the mechanics behind something before I can truly understand it. No the PGU hasn't curved at all and I have also had it strung for a year and the limbs are still as strait as the day I bought it. I agree that the SAS has some cool features and really like the compactability, but it is hard for me to get over the archers paradox. I will be doing more testing with the SAS and bringing it on some coyote hunts, so we will see how it holds up in the long run. Thank you for the awesome positive feedback, it means a lot coming from you. I respect you and your opinion very much. Thanks for watching my friend... atb Todd
after watching both yours and Canadian Preppers videos on these bows, I may have to go with the primal just for the fact that when I go on hikes and camping trips I have a larger (in height 28inches) bag and it is more simple on making it ready to shoot. Good Job on the videos guys
Dude... phenomenal work there! I love all of the tests that you put on these bows and allowing me to know which bow I would buy (PGU). Thank you for this amazing video and I look forward to more videos like this one!
That was the BEST review possible! You answered every question that was likely to be posed. You gave both bows a long testing period. You tested using the most scientific method possible. You went over the different features. You gave your personal opinion at the end which is important - you are a credible source from the amount of work you clearly put into the testing. That was an amazing review, but you sounded TIRED through it and I think we all know why! Great review!
Thank you very much for the feedback! It was a very long process with a lot of filming. I think I was more tired from trying to work full time, part time and bang this video out!! LOL. But I am happy with it, I was asked if I could do this video by the owners, so I did. They really appreciated it, even if I sided with the PGU...!! Thank you for your kind words and for stopping by!! atb Todd
Was leaning to the SAS, now I’m going PGU, great video.
Truth.... I have been researching what happened to them, and I can't find much. Ether they just went out of business, or sold out to china and receive royalties. Because China made the LX survival bow, almost an exact copy of the PGU, but actually added some awesome features, not that I like china made shit, but I will be doing a review on it...
Awesome comparison! Both objective/technical and subjective/honest. I have been looking at the PGU for a couple years now. Think my decision is FINALLY made! Thanks for posting!!!
You are welcome, it was a long process, but needed to be done... To many people where taking the SAS as a faster bow then the PGU, which is not true. And they where also saying how much easy the SAS was to operate? Made no sense to me, so I had to do a comparison video. Trust me, both companies saw this video, and took a step back of how much detail was done in testing there product. I still prefer the PGU, not because they are a great company to work with, but just a great product!!! Thanks for watching!!
Very thorough!
I really like that PGU. Think I'll put that on my wish list!
Thanks for all your hard work on this!
It is GREAT bow... I have had mine for many years... It was a long process, I was putting together the video, and I was like wow, longest video I have ever made!! LOL Thanks for stopping by, always appreciate you...
Awesome video! You did not disappoint brother. I've been waiting for a detailed comparison of these two bows, although I kind of hand an idea of a couple issues I would have with one and not the other, which no surprise to me, you talked about. Extremely thorough and detailed!
+Tony Ford Thank you brother, I am glad you liked it!! I was apprehensive at first to post such a long video, but it has been received well, so that makes all the work that much better!! The owners of PGU texted me and they really liked it... They liked that way I didn't bash the SAS and actually stated the facts. The owner of SAS hasn't contacted me yet, but I am sure he will, one way or another... I am, glad I took the time and really laid this one out... I think it will let people make there own decisions on which one best fits there needs... Thank again...
atb Todd
Thank you for taking the time to make the information so available. Very kind of you, and have a great day.
Thank you, it is a process, but one I enjoy...
dude! this is a crazy good detailed review of these bows. you killed it!
Thanks brother, it was a process, but I think I covered down on it... LOL Thanks for watching
Wow! Watching at 2022, what an amazing review and comparison!
Thank you, but it appears that the company closed, out of business...
Outstanding compairison and review. I'm posting this in a thread in the survival section of a forum I'm on. Great job brother
Thank you, it was a process, but I wanted to cover as many aspects as possible....!!! Thanks for watching buddy... And for posting on a blog... Appreciate it!!!
Thank you for the comparison. I had been looking at the PGU, and just learned the SAS is available. This comparison is very helpful. Thank you.
You are welcome, I know it is long, but there was a lot to compare!!! Thanks for watching!!
First and for most great job on the video, camera work was really good, second very excellent review. As you know I got the opportunity to go out with you and shoot both bows and I have to say that the PGU was hands down the clear winner in my opinion, performance, accuracy and ease of use all fell in the favor of the PGU again in my opinion and I will be buying a PGU in the near future.
Jason
+Primal Outdoors Right on Jason, really appreciate the positive feedback..! Yes, I am still a big fan of the PGU and will be using it most of the time, but I will still be testing the SAS for future video's. I am glad to here you are going to get one, they are an incredible bow. Thanks for watching...
Todd
Great video! exactly the comparison I was looking for. Congratulations on making a very interesting and educating video.
Thank you, it was a monster to complete, but the truths came out and it was fun!! Thank you so much for your kind words!! Appreciate it!!
This was a great video! Really helped me decide on what bow to get!...i just ordered my Primal Gear bow! Can't wait to try it out!
I hope you got it, they went out of business right around this time. There is a copy I am doing a review on it here soon... Thank you!!!! I bet we are... Sorry for the really late reply, just going though old comments and getting caught back up and working on new content, thank you for watching, and commenting.
The PGU looks like an awesome bow to take with me into the woods... Hopefully I'll get to purchase it soon! Thank you for the well thought out video and all of the effort that went into making it. Very very impressive.
+Aaron Rowe It is an amazing bow and yes, the PGU is still my favorite, but I am going to work with the SAS and see if it grows on me.. Hope you get one soon, I bet you will like it... Thanks for watching atb Todd
Both bows look awesome and ideal for a bug out bag or every day use.
Thanks Todd I am still not sure which bow to get but a good video full of solid information.
God bless you.
+derealovefestival Well, they are both great bows, but it is up to personal preference... I love the PGU, always have, but I am going to work with the SAS and give some updates... Thanks for watching my friend, god bless you!!
Awesome review, helped me decide on the PGU July this year. Great bow...really appreciate the heads up.
I am glad it helped you out!!! I wanted to try and give the best comparison I could. This bows are so similar that is comes down to small details!!! Thank you for watching
A very detailed test Todd, thanks for taking the time to do it ;-))
+SurviveN2 Thank you very much my friend, and thank you for stopping by... atb Todd
Fantastic review mate.... we are soon to embark on a couple of years travelling outback Australia and we want to be prepared for the unexpected and do bow fishing and hunting during our adventure... Your informative review has made our decision to purchase a couple of PGU bows...thanks again from your friends DownUnder, cheers mate :)
Right on, so glad I can help out... I really enjoy the PGU and it shoots awesome...
great review, I appreciate the side by side comparison due to both bows seeming great which makes it hard to decide which one to get.
+Doubletap You are welcome and thanks for the positive feedback!! atb Todd
Wow this is a very well thought out and complete review. If I was in the market for one, this would provide me with pretty much all the information I needed to make a solid purchase decision. Thanks for sharing Todd
+That Hiking Guy Thank you, it was several weeks of filming and research, but came out pretty good. Was worried about posting such a long video, but is seems people don't mind... Thank you for stopping by and taking a look, appreciate it... atb Todd
Great video with tones of info for the newbie like I am, who wants to buy but doesn't know point to start from, and what bow to end-up with. Great thanks! Lot of underwater stones were covered.
Good, I am glad I could help out!!! Thank you for watching
What a great impartial review, really in depth, just subscribed to your channel
Thank you!! It was in depth... And thank you for your support!!!
I was pretty sold on the SAS Survival Bow after watching Canadian Prepper's review,
but after this video I'm leaning toward to the Primal Gear one.
Currently I have the Xpectre Spectre II. I'm planning to upgrade to PGU after familiarize myself with archery.
Thanks for making very informative and in-depth review.
+Bi0mad You are welcome and thank you for the positive feedback... I was trying to give an honest and factual comparison video, and I think I hit the mark. The owners of the companies enjoyed it. The PGU is still my favorite, less things to go wrong, comfortable and just love shooting it... I will continue working with the SAS and give a future update. Thank you for stopping by my friend, atb Todd
Pgu is the way to go love the bow. Quick set up and take down pretty good speed and not as loud changing the rest to skin and adding thin leather to the limbs is easy and doesnt really effect fps what so ever i havent used any string silencing but using the thin leather actually makes it even more snug when it folds up to reduce carry noise. And it is so easy to change limbs as well
More quiet, more power, no archers paradox, more simplicity with nothing to lose, or replacs, and less expensive. The winner is clear to me. Good review.
You have answered all my questions accurately
Great video!!
I can’t thank you enough
Sorry for the super late comment, just returning to RUclips and working on new content. You are welcome, unfortunately PGU went out of business, did a update video. But there is a replacement. Doing a review of them and the new SAS compact survival bow. Thanks for watching
Great job the on video Todd! Super informative and a great presentation. I know a lot of time and work had to go into gathering all the specs and data. Thumbs up my friend! Gonna have to buy the PGU!
+Rimrock Outdoors Thank you Bill... It was a process for sure!! But well worth the effort. Thank you for the positive feedback, was worried about posting this long of a video, but seems like it was well received. Thank you for watching Bill!! Now time to put together our last trip... LOL
I know I asked you in the pass about the primal gear bow. Now you made my decision harder. Lol great video and like like you took the time to go over a lot of details. Thank you
+easyprepper101 Ha ha ha... Well I wasn't trying to make it harder... But they are pretty much spot on as far as performance, so it just depends on what you can afford and features. LOL Thanks for the feedback brother, and thanks for watching
Great in-depth review of the 2 bows thanks for sharing atb John
Thanks John, it was a process, but these bows needed it... Thanks for watching atb Todd
Great oversight thanks for taking the time to make & share. you have tempted me now. cheers
+LFH02 Thank you, it was a bunch of research and testing, but well worth bringing the two together and showing people what they are all about... Thanks for watching!! atb TODD
Really Appreciate the effort you put in to do this review. Thank You very much.
Thank you!!! Sorry for the really late reply, just getting back to RUclips and wanted to catch up. Plus, create some new content!! Thank you for your support, and for watching...
juts the video I was looking for full of the information I was looking for on both the bows awsom video man
Thank you, I wanted to show all aspects of both bows, glad it helped out!! Thanks for watching
Terrific video, thanks! As a relative novice, I always learn so much from your videos.
Thank you, I am glad I could give spread some knowledge and happy you enjoy my video's, always good to hear. Makes me want to keep driving forward and creating video's. Thank you for watching and commenting... atb Todd
20:36 is the moneyshot. I love the camouflage! and the integrated quiver. Excellent.
Thank you!!!! Thanks for watching
Got me sold, great review, I love all the details, really learned alot about archery in general!
Thank you, it was a lot of work putting that one together, but it put all the questions I was getting into a nut shell... Thanks for watching, much appreciated!!
Awesome test video, I respect the time and effort that went into this video.
+Nomad-76 Thanks brother... I did invest a ton of time and effort into this one... Thanks for watching my friend!!! abt TOdd
Incredible review; thank you for all the effort you put into it
You are welcome, it was a lot of time, but needed to be done in my opinion... Thank you for watching
Great review/comparison between these two bows. A lot of info. You did a comparison penetration test between the PGU and Spectre-II a while back... I would love to see how the Spectre steaks up against the PGU and SAS in a full review like this one.
Thank you, it was a long process, but it was very revieling. Mmmmm that would be a good video, I tried getting a hold of the company to have them send me a newer model, but they never responded?? But I will look at doing a video like this again for sure, I am actually doing one right now on request of another subscriber, the PGU and SAS vs the Marksman sling shot bow, by pathfinder... We will see if it even stacks up or if it is a gimmick... Thank you for watching and a great idea!!!
Excellent Review! Just found your channel when searching reviews on the SAS. Watched another comparison vid and was disappointed by the quality. Your attention to detail and unbiased comparison is Rock Solid! I have subscribed to your channel because of this vid and look forward to checking out more vids on your channel. Again Excellent job on this vid!
Oh and Your vid also gave me the necessary reassurance to pull the trigger on purchasing a PGU. I agree that they are both great bows and either one would serve its user well but my preferences align with yours and the PGU is the one for me.
Great comparison video, I agree with you on the simplistic setup, non removal part and even though both are ambidextrous, once it's set to one's draw preference just open and shoot...
Thank you for the positive feedback, I agree with you 100%... It is what works... Thanks for watching!!!
What an awesome review! Exactly what i was looking for. Thanks
Thank you!!! Really appreciate that comment. Sorry for the really late reply, just getting back to RUclips and wanted to catch up. Plus, create some new content!! Thank you for your support, and for watching...
Very in depth side by comparison Todd, I bet both manufactures appreciate getting good quality info out about their products
Thanks Aaron... It was some work... I haven't heard from SAS yet? Maybe they will eventually.. It was a bunch of work, but came out well... Thank for watching, we need to get together and just do some cooking, shooting, and a few drinks... Lol
Excellent comparison video. Just the type of information I needed. Thanks. A little information about the arrows you used would be helpful too.
Thank you very much, it was a process... I do have a video coming soon on what arrows I prefer... Thank you for watching!!!
Really great vid! I know I speak for everyone when I say thanks for all your hard work. I think I'll go with the pgu based on it's simplicity, grip (I have pretty small hands), and price ($150 vs. $230 with replacement parts). Once again, thank you and keep shootin'!
good video.. I have never shot a bow, but always was interested in getting into it. been looking and researching the PGU and the SAS... I'm leaning more toward the PGU.. simplicity and it's one piece.
Fantastic Comparison Review. 👍 Great detail, and presentation. *Subscribed*
Thank you!!!!! Thank you!!!! I bet we are... Sorry for the really late reply, just going though old comments and getting caught back up and working on new content, thank you for watching, and commenting.
WoW ! Excellent and very detailed comparison which swayed me the way of the PGU, brilliant job mate, thanks for you're efforts, oh just subed and am looking forward to seeing more of you're work. Cheers
Thank you, it was a process, but came out detailed.. .I prefer the PGU myself too... But that are great tools, thank you for all your support...
An absolute pleasure, thanks.
Thanks man iv just ordered the pgs bow but then I saw the sas bow and thought I'd bought the wrong bow but after this vidio I'm sure I got the right one so thank you so much I'm a Englishman and I paid 35 pounds with 12 arrows and a carry bag so it's worth shopping about a wee bit . Thanks man.
logankiller543 Excellent, you are very welcome
Your input and demonstration is much appreciated -> Thanks
Thank you, and glad it has helped out!!!
Thanks for doing this video. Helped validate my purchase!
Your welcome!!! Thank you!!!! I bet we are... Sorry for the really late reply, just going though old comments and getting caught back up and working on new content, thank you for watching, and commenting.
Great video thanks you confirmed it for me,plus already leaned that way now I'm sold.
Your welcome... Unfortunately PGU went out of business, China copied them
Hands down best comparison video i have seen.
Sorry for the super late reply, just getting back into RUclips and wanted to catch up on all my old comments over the last 5 years. Thank you!!!!!!
@@CentralOregonSurvival of course
Very detail test, Thanks Todd
+live4wild Right, need popcorn to watch this one!! LOL Thanks brother!!
Thank you for this great video. I now know the PGU is the one I want.
You are welcome!!! I love my PGU!!!
Amazing and complete review - thank you for sharing!
Thank you and thanks for watching
This is a great video! Thank you for doing this! Lots of good information. You just helped me make up my mind!
+AllThingsBushcraft Thank you very much, it was a long process, but I wanted to bring all aspects of each bow to the table and let people make there own decision on with one to buy..!! Glad I could help you... Thanks for watching, atb Todd
Thank you, this was super helpful! I was about to buy the SAS but I do not like the difference in assembly, and the archer’s paradox.
Your welcome
Very very well done! Thanks for all the hard work.
Sorry for the extremely late reply, starting to post more video's finally.. Thank you, and thanks for watching
Great review, really helped, thanks!
You are welcome and glad it helped you out!!!
Great videos man keep making them
Slingshot Mexican Thanks brother, I am working on a new one, you will like it I am sure... I am seeing how useful the bow rust rocket really is, or if it is just a gimmick...
GREAT review, much appreciated! I would go with the PGU as well, just from the ergonomics, and simplicity in design. I did notice one more variable in the limbs that would account for some of the faster speed of the PGU. If you look at the limb tips side by side, the PGU limbs at the string cut outs is narrower than the SAS which will reduce resistance from the wind, thereby giving a very slight advantage in limb return speed over the SAS. Just my two cents.
Thank you!! It was a process, but I wanted to do a full comparison and review. I have had them for awhile now and really enjoy shooting. I am glad I could help you on your decision. And I think you are on to something there, also they are so close in limb design, it is interesting. Thanks for the great comment!!
Central Oregon Survival Network Roger that!
Great video & comparison - thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching...
Props to the thorough video. Apparently SAS came out with their new boat addressing the lug nut issue oh, now it's simply folds out.
Sorry for the super late comment, just returning to RUclips and working on new content. Yes, seen that on the SAS. I actually ordered the new SAS compact to do a review on the new LX survival bow, and the old PGU. PGU unfortunately went out of business... I did a recent video on it.. The LX survival bow is a direct copy of the PGU, but unfortunately it is made in China... Thanks for watching
This is the BEST Review i have EVER seen. This is what needs to be learned in general before buying a Bow because its cute. Questions that had no answer were answered here, Silencers reduce 2-3 fps what? Man if i had teachers like you growing up... Simple spoken, Its kind of making me a little angry that, even people who teach at/for colleges don't have this kind of Passion. Damn Great Video "Siskel & Ebert" give it 10 thumbs UP!!!
Great and thorough review! Thank you.
Your welcome!! Thank you for watching
just subscribe! Why you put so much work in your videos much appreciated! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!!! And thank you for watching.... An the sub!!! Got you back...!
Great comparison and review on both...You went right into everything they have to offer...Everyone has there own and different opinions Just like a Ford or a Chevy guy, lol...I never seen a bow like either one of them before...all the calculations were pretty darn close to each other...Hope all is good brother...If there is anyone out there with questions about either of these bows this video will definitely tell them what they need to no...
+Heith Gagnon Thanks Gonzo!!! Much appreciated!!! Yes it does come down to personal preference. Everything is going but I am extremely busy..! Thank you so much for your support... I was apprehensive uploading such a long video, but seems like it is doing pretty well... Thank again my friend!!
Nice review. Just as relevant in 2020 as it was when you did this. Thank you.
wkf57 thank you!!! You are welcome..: it was a big video to put together...
Don't buy primal gear, looks like a great bow but the company isn't filling orders currently. Check their Facebook page. I have personally tried contacting them a number of time with no answer. Currently trying to get my money back as I purchased a bow and haven't received anything past an automated order received email.
William Bloodworth I heard something like that... people where saying they can’t get there bows??? I will have to call there number, sorry I didn’t know
@@CentralOregonSurvival all good, accidents happen. If they did go out of business or bankrupt wish they would have put something on their website since this has been going on since the beginning of the year. Luckily my bank refunded me the money and is making their own case into the situation. I just hope others see the Facebook page before making the purchase. Now I'm patiently waiting on an SAS bow!!
William Bloodworth Agreed... I am super curious what happened... I need to call there personal number today and see if I can get ahold of them.
That was an awesome review. Fair and transparent. Thanks. Regards from Scotland.
Sorry for the late reply, thank you very much!!! Awesome, freaking always wanted to visit Scotland... Thanks for watching
Looks like great bows. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
+BluegrassBushcraft Thanks buddy, I know long video right... LOL had to capture all the elements... Thanks for stopping by my friend!!! atb Todd
Thanks, great review, now I know which one I will buy (Primal)
Right on, glad I could be of some help!!! Thank you for watching
Thank you for this review. I am currently using/ borrowing a buddies CB style bow, but what I want to eventually purchase soon is a take-down Survival Bow system .
Great Info.
Truth.... I have been researching what happened to them, and I can't find much. Ether they just went out of business, or sold out to china and receive royalties. Because China made the LX survival bow, almost an exact copy of the PGU, but actually added some awesome features, not that I like china made shit, but I will be doing a review on it...
Great video. Well sorted and great information.
Thank you!! It was a lot of work, but well worth bring it to everyone!!!
awesome vid! this really helped me decide which I like better
+50 Stitches Steel Your welcome, I didn't plan on making such a comprehensive video, but that is the way it came out!!! Thanks for coming by and checking it out brother!! atb Todd
great review. thanks for posting.
Your welcome!!! Thank you for watching!!!
Great vid, my friend and I have been looking at the sas bow but i have seen a pgu for alot less thanks for the info i know what to get :)
Sorry for the super late comment, just returning to RUclips and working on new content. I hope you got one before PGU went out of business. There is an exact replica of the bow out, LX Survival bow. I am doing a review here soon... Thanks for watching
@CentralOregonSurvival I already have the lx bow I love it haha
Nice job great No BS imparcial review. PGU seems like the way to go less fuss and parts. Thank you for helping me make my decision
Yeah, then PGU went under, out of business or sold out... I don't know which one for sure. But I am going to do an update video here soon... The LX survival bow is the new copy from China
very informative and detailed comparison. I have, actually, been thinking about the SAS Tactical bow.
+Bentley's Backwoods Bushcraft Thank you, it was a intense testing process... It is a great tool, just make sure you get an extra arrow rest, and limb lug bolt. And when you are done shooting, or just regularly re-tighten both lug bolts. I had one fall off in the car and thankfully you can tell something is wrong when it is missing the small bolt after one or two shots, makes a funny rattle. And I found it again. Then I lost it one more time after breaking it down into the case. But I found it again, LOL. I can see where it would be good practice to re-tighten after shooting it... Or before... Good stuff and thank you for coming by and checking out the video!!!
thanks
Your welcome
Excellent review!
Sorry for the super late reply, just getting back into RUclips and wanted to catch up on all my old comments over the last 5 years. Thank you.. Thanks for watching
Very proffesional and best comparison video.. Excelent. Thanks.
Thank you, I was wanting to give all aspects!! Thanks for watching
Nothing wrong with human error in a bow shooting test. Any one using the bow will be human, not a machine. First time watching this channel but I'm liking the pace of the video and the information is very usefull. Thanks and keep it up :)
Kyran Barber thank you...
I have the pgu, and love the bow, I loved the vid and nice to hear all the facts bro. well done. ATB man
Right on, love the PGU, it is awesome.. But both Bows are great tools, I just prefer simplistic easy to use and nothing to lose in the field. I own both and enjoy both, they are sold for sure, thanks my friend for stopping by!! ATB Todd
great amazing video with no padding you are a scientist sir god bless
Ha ha ha ha Thank you !!!!! I am trying to figure out what happened to the company??? I think they went out of business
Great video
The reason for the small difference in poundage is probably to do with the bow length. E.g - I own a Bear Kodiak Take Down - it is rated as 45lbs of draw. However, I opted for the long limbs and long riser. The extra couple of inches in my riser and limbs, drop the poundage to 43lbs @ 28". This is pointed out on 3 Rivers website when you are selecting limbs and risers. Anyway, thought I'd mention it. I really enjoyed your vid and the effort you went into to get the averages (speed, poundage, etc.) Cheers Campbell:)
Thank you!!!! You are probably correct for sure!!! It was a long video, but came out pretty good, but unfortunately PGU sold out, or went under
Great review. I happen to agree with you liking the PGU better. A survival bow shouldn't need extra parts and to take off and flip around the limb to make operable. Price point and such has to give the nod to the PGU. I'm no expert but there it is.
Just bought SAS and have to say its very awesome bow, durable and cool looking. Whenever im going to forest for hiking or just camping, im always carrying one with me
Sweet!!!
Where did you get it 🤔

This is awesome. Thank you☺
Thank you!!!
Excellent, very professional sir.
Thank you very much... Sorry for the really late reply, just getting back to RUclips and wanted to catch up. Plus, create some new content!! Thank you for your support, and for watching...
super review....one of the best I've seen.
Thanks you for your positive feedback... I know it is an extremely long video, but I wanted to cover many aspects of the bow's... I think I covered most topics, LOL.. Thanks for watching!!
love my pgu!! one thing i worry about is the plastic square tabs to hold limbs open over longer term
Hells yeah, thanks for watching
nice compare, I am new to these collapsable bows, am going to purchase 1, this test video helps very much, looks like both are great, going to go with PGU because it is just simple assembly, I don't even want to deal with loosing a part or arrow rest, I don't want to deal with compensation of aim either, I am a south paw and I already have to account for some of that, I like both, but fast easy build, and no removal of parts wins my vote and probable purchase.😎👍
Thanks you, yes the PGU is awesome, but unfortunately they have went out of business since I have been away from RUclips. Trying to figure out what happened now. But there is another company building there bows. Doing a review here soon. Sorry for the really late reply, just getting back to RUclips and wanted to catch up. Plus, create some new content!! Thank you for your support, and for watching...
Great video. Looks like the PGU offers less complexity which makes for a better option in a SHTF scenario. Well that's my opinion anyway. As a lifetime archer naturally i would prefer one of my takedown recurves or longbows but as a "behind the seat of my pickup truck survival tool" a PGU appears rugged enough to get knocked around riding next to my "truck gun."
Thanks for the info. good stuff brother!
+guns4funcajanajustin Your welcome, thanks for stopping by and checking it out!!!
Mate, this is an awesome review, comparison test. Very helpful for making the right choice. Question, have you ever had to replace the limbs on the PGU?
Thank you!!! And no never had to replace the limbs... I have had it strung for over two years and still good to go...
great review
Thank you!!!
Best REVIEW EVER!!!
