Finally I got a Sage
« on: October 13, 2021, 07:27:15 PM »
After a 12 month wait my bucket list bow arrived. A 66" Sage By Dave Miller.  A true Hill style asl. It was well worth the wait.

Just in time  . . . Congratulations.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

Kinda handsome. What were you thinking, ordering a looker like that? Now, every time you go somewhere to shoot, someone is going to ask about that bow. (How does it shoot btw?)

 Your life is ruined.
Learn, practice and pass on "leave no trace" ethics, no matter where you hunt.

Is that a thin fiberglass backing over the bamboo backing and a strip of carbon in the middle of the limb?

There is not any backing of any kind! Dave puts the strip of what he calls special laminate in the middle to help prevent limb twisting.
