for about 20 years I had a hoyt huntmaster which was basically a 58" sage made for hoyt by samick. Other bows came and went during that time, but that was always my go to bow because it was a good shooter. If you watch olympic archery you will see a lot of Samicks, must be a reason

I hunt and 3D with my Predator, but I just purchased my second Sage for bowfishing. My custom built Predator will not go on a boat that smells like stinky fish. With the possability of going in the drink. And they are a good shooting bow. Glenn

You are absolutly correct , but are the hunting type models Samick in name only ? I think there are many inexpensive imports that are one in the same as the sage and such. Not sure about the Stingrey though.

I have a number of bows, and one is a Samick Red Stag, and truthfully it shoots as well as my 1000 dollar bows, biggest difference was the grip, so I customized it, and now its a joy to shoot, I do have a long bow that is about 8 lbs lighter than my others and it is the most fun to shoot, just dont get as tired

I have seen 4 Samicks. Two of them delaminated. So far none of my USA made upidity bows have done that. I do have a D.Howatt and a Bear factory bow they both shoot as well as my customs.

Not looking to start a trade war or anything,LOL. I served this country in the army, was born in Detroit and Ford Motor Co. kept me fed and clothed as a child. I am not anti American bows, just kind of shocked that I like this Samick so much considering the origin and price. Thanks for all the great replies. I value my fellow tradgangers point of view. Thanks, Doug

Never really considered Mohawks to be uppity. Just a little more than cheap rack bows and the same price if not less expensive than higher end off the racks with much much better customer service and IMO better to shoot. Probably just the 5 lbs. reduction.

ME... guess I'm snobby a bit as I prefer to stick with "Made In America" when it comes to bikes, guns, Bow's [either factory or my customs] and definitely when it comes to jumping into my "Huntin' Rig". BTW this was re-sized to appropriate TG limitations before posting.. I'm not sure why it's so large?
