Hoyt recurves

[BUCKY]

Is the Satori the only bow they now offer? I don't see the others on their site.

[BWallace10327]

I saw that as well.  Just like a wheel bow company; throw out the tried and true after a couple of years for the latest and greatest.  I don't know if the new Satori is any good or not, and frankly I don't care.  It is disappointing that as soon as I jump on the **modern** bow bandwagon (with a Buffalo), I'm already in the dust again. Oh well, best stick to wood.

Yep, the Satori replaces all the hunting recurves I believe.

[damascusdave]

Hoyt is not, never has been and never will be only a wheel bow company. They may only offer one hunting recurve now, they still offer a bunch of Target recurves. With the Satori Hoyt has everything I would want in an ILF metal riser.

[Scott E]

At least they offer the riser in more options now. 21" 19" and 17"

If only they offered long limbs with them.

[Bowwild]

I think the Satori looks pretty nice. I like the buckskin color option.  

I skipped all the models since the Gamester but this Satori is one I'm considering in 40#@26" for lighter practice.   I have a couple other metal riser recurves and one is an ILF.  

I'm confident anything Hoyt in the recurve area is going to have the potential to be state of the recurve science, if not art.

[Cwilder]

you can just buy the Satori riser also and put the ILF limbs of choice on it

[JR Belk]

Yep, Satori only for the hunting recurves. With 3 riser options and 2 limb lengths, they effectively replaced all bows and brought out 6 new ones. Kinda sucks for dealers that still have the other bows in stock, but at least there's still a demand for them.

I just looked over the Satori at 3 Rivers, and then lancaster and then back to 3 rivers.  I'll admit when I'm wrong.  That's a cool looking bow and I'll bet it is a great shooter.  I think I'll get one when they are being ushered out for the next generation in a few years.

[crazynate]

I thought they looked kind of cool. I heard the Hoyt's are pretty quick to.

Hoyt hit a homerun with the "Buffalo" sorry to hear there not making it. It is a great shooting bow.

This is always my strategy.  Let the first batch get sold, someone not like it, and then snag it for a deal.  I have wanted to try out a buffalo, but just hadn't pulled the trigger on it yet.   I'll now hold off for this riser.

They do. It shows they offer long and short, but with them only being 2" difference, it may only be a short and med, hidden as a long.

The gamemaster and Dorado have been in the catalog for over a decade...The Buffalo IS a great bow but the formula style proprietary limb system held it back.  The fact Hoyt is finally offering an ILF hunting riser with the option to buy just riser shows that they have people following feedback onthese message boards.

I say good for Hoyt, and they'll probably be back logged on these risers all year.

[McDave]

It seemed odd to me that the Buffalo was not drilled for a rest.  I've never wanted a rest, but if I were going to buy a metal riser ILF limb bow, I would at least want it to be drilled and tapped for a rest and a stabilizer, in case I changed my mind.

[Mr. fingers]

The only thing I see that I do not like is no grip options!

[Charlie Lamb]

McDave... Bingo. Almost as if the bow is incomplete without that option.

Jager offers several grips to fit the new Satori.  Hoyt designed the riser to accept the same grips as the Nexus, Helix, Eclipse, GMX, Excel/Grand Prix, Horizon/Grand Prix, Formula Excel/Pro, Formula RX, GPX, HPX, ION X, Prodigy and Prodigy XT.

[fireball31]

I think they nailed it with this one to be honest. its pretty obvious that they have been paying attention to their prospective buyers over the course of the last couple years.

[Wild Bill MCP 808]

The " Buffalo" was engineered and designed as a pure hunting bow to shoot off the shelf. That's why Fred E. was involved. Most people who own and shoot the Buffalo love them. It is Olympic technology in a hunting bow. This bow really shoots well.

If you look at the new one I don't see much difference in the riser other than optional lengths.
