Watching archery videos like this is Zen for me. Awesome presentation, review, and the landscape in front of you is stunning. I am using Samick R3s in 55lbs on a Topoint Slither 17" riser and it is the best hunting and defense setup all around. Point of aim at 20 yards with the holographic reticle I have on the ATA mount with a rail adaptor.
Loved your video. I do have a suggestion though. Your release could be smoother if you follow through and let your wrist go straight back to your shoulder , or even just a little way back. As it is you have a dead release ( nothing wrong with that ) but your wrist seems to move outward from the string. This can cause you to pluck the string and the result is that the bow and the arrow will move off centre , or even up or down .
On my metal riser ILF's..... first thing after stringing... just grab the handle and the limb and give them a tug .... towards each other. Do that with both limbs ...if not seated all the way... your'll get that little pop. Another tip... about the ILF limb ... the little spring loaded seating ball... take that apart.. and use a little blue, lock tite on those threads. I had 1 come apart and had to order another.... before I could shoot again... the screw came out... spring went flying and lost the little ball.
Thanks for watching and sharing your comment. I checked out your channel and see that you also shoot a Samick Discovery. I really like mine a lot. But as you must know, with archery, some days are better than others...smile. Good shooting to you, and have a great day!
Hey figured I’d ask you a question on here since you have the perfect experience to answer my question. I’m set on this bow with the long limbs and I have a 31” draw so I’m happy you made these videos with your long draw. I currently have a samick sage with a 21” riser. I have both 35# and 50# limbs. The 35 is great for practice and doesn’t get crazy heavy at full draw. The 50 stacks like crazy when I pull it all the way back. I’m looking for something in between these for the discovery. I’ll be deer hunting with it once I practice for months daily. My confusion comes with the shorter riser and longer limbs of the discovery and how that affects extra poundage. I can’t decide between 40 and 45# for an in between feeling at full draw. I’ve done a ton of research and I’m stumped. Your input would be much appreciated. Thanks man
To me, these Samick R3 Long ILF limbs on the 17" Discovery riser don't seem too stacky. I've never had a Samick Sage so I'm not sure how they would compare to your Sage. With your 31" draw, I'm thinking maybe go with the 40#, since you will be drawing back to close to 50# at 31" draw length. It's hard to suggest what will be the better choice for someone else though. Thanks for watching and sharing your comments! Shane
I also have the Samick Discovery with the Forest Green Riser. I also have the Samick Foam Core limbs in # 40 and # 45 draw weights and planning on obtaining another set in # 35. Did you have an elevated rest that you preferred, or you have just been using your built-up rest? You have a great setting for your range and thank you for posting.
I started out using the Bear Weather Rest. It worked great. After a couple years it kind of wore, and I went with the built up shelf setup. Both seem to work equally well. I'm a fan of the R3 foam limbs too. I've got them in 30, 35, 40, and 45#. Probably add the 50# eventually. Mine are the Long, for a 62" AMO length. The scenery here is pretty nice, yes it is. Good shooting!
@@timyjoe5 I just received today a set of the Samick foam core with a # 35 draw weight. I just target shoot so I cannot provide an evaluation for hunting. For long sessions of archery, I use the #35 and #40. #45 and #50 are usually shorter sessions. My local club removed the 3d targets, so the targets are paper animal silhouettes or just regular targets. On this course I will use the #45 or #50. the field course I usually use the #45 which I think I prefer overall. My at home range with straw bale backstops I prefer wood arrows. My club range I use carbon as the target backstops damage my wood arrows.
How do you shoot the 40# limbs with bare fingers for an extended period of time? I just picked up archery and got 30# limbs. Had to pause after each quiver for 2-3 minutes until the finger pain went away. By the way, your shooting location/home is absolutely gorgeous!! Right next to a lake, mountains in the background. Beautiful!!
I'm shooting with a 3-under leather tab. Bare fingers would be a bad idea and probably cause nerve damage in a short time. This is the tab I'm using, www.3riversarchery.com/safari-tuff-3-under-finger-tab.html Yes the scenery is beautiful here, southwest Montana.
@@shanepitzer4126 Montana *_* I live in Germany near the border of Austria and Swiss, so I know my way around a fairytale scenery, but Montana stunns the pretzels out of me.

@@maranathashalom9402 Very nice. Between 1992 thru 1995 I was living/working in Frankfurt, Germany, and Zagreb, Croatia. I saw some nice country, but unfortunately didn't have the time to enjoy it on a recreational level.
Great shooting sir. May I ask what is the brace height on your Samick Discovery? You mentioned you are in the process of making your bow quiet and I was wondering what's your recommended brace height for Discovery.
@@shanepitzer4126 Sir One more question, I couldn't find any information on how far past center cut is on discovery riser. I am thinking about getting the accutune adjustable side plate for it, but I wasn't sure whether the riser has enough room to play around with it.
@@moon1993hy I don't know the precise distance past center, but I tried to measure it, and I believe it is slightly over 1/4", maybe 5/16" past center.
@@shanepitzer4126 gotcha. Thank you so much. Now I can finally decide on which one to get between micro adjust springy rest and accutune adjustable side plate.
Great ! Yes pretty much maxed out, I backed the top screw out just a tad, to get about 1/16" positive tiller on top. Supposedly recommended for three-under. I'm not sure it matters at my skill level though.
Hey, thanks for posting!! What’s your arrow weight and draw length? I have those limbs in #45 shoot a 575 grain arrow with a 29.5” 52# actual, draw length and average 155 fps. Trying to figure out if I want to drop the cash for some Tradtech Carbons. Thanks!!
Hey Steven, glad you liked the vid and shared your comment. These arrows are around 538 grains, GT Warrior 400 shaft at 32", 100gr insert, 145gr field point, two 4" fletch, basic nock. My draw length is right at 32". Not sure on velocity, haven't put this combo over the chrono.
Metallic huuum?? not if it set up properly tiller and brace, at least my Hoyt Satori, shoots without it, most all bows will make some noise, but yes I adapt string silencers to everyone of my bows. Great shooting !!! Fly them straight-
Mat, In this video, I was using a Bear Weather Rest. Recently I went with a different setup, I showed it in my last video a couple weeks ago. Thanks for your interest.

Thanks for 'pro tip' on seating the limbs.
Great shooting! Nice looking riser, wood grip looks nice. I want to replace the grip on my Samick Ideal, preferably with a wooden one.
Thanks. I've been real happy with the Samick Discovery.
I also shoot from 20 yards. But it's not good. I am amazed at your beautiful shooting today. thank you so much....

when I had my ILF before I shot i plucked the string to set the limbs and that stopped the noise
Yeah, I've heard that from quite a few people now. I'm doing it now too. It seems to work. Thanks for watching and sharing your comment.
If you pluck the string, holding it back a few inches, the limbs will seat and no loud noise on first shot.
Thanks for the tip. I'll start doing that.
