- Thanks for tuning in everyone. In this video I go through my new Samick Discovery ILF recurve bow, talk about setup, and do some shooting. So far I highly recommend this bow if you are in the $500-900 range for an ILF hunting recurve.
Edit: The arrows I am shooting in this video are in fact 536 grains total weight, not 450 as I said in the video. I had entirely forgotten that I added 100 grain inserts to bump up from what they weighed before.
Yeah that is a bloody nice bow mate👍
Trad bows have always been about reliability, and versatility for me. ILF bows are a good compromise between compound bows and traditional one piece recurves and Longbows
Its funny, literally right before you said it's super quiet my thought was "I don't know much about bows but I feel like this is pretty quiet"
I have the same bow with long limbs. I use an Accutune adjustable strike plate but had to add a second nylon washer to get center shot. I’ve had mine a couple of years and am extremely happy with it.
Be careful with the aluminum limb bolts, they strip easily. Alternative Archery sell Stainless Steel limb bolts and they work great. They quiet the bow down a bit also.
Great first video! Congrats on the Discovery. I own one as well. Love it.
Thank you Wingman!
Love your setup and the ILF platform. CORRECTION EDIT: Just found out that the Samick limb pockets are indeed metal, aluminum, so that is good to know. Getting a few soon.
Nice bow. Nice setup. Good video, thanks
Very nice setup, and great job on the side plate!
Shane, thanks! I am about to add an edit to the video because after cutting the shafts down to stiffen up these arrows, I weighed them and realized they were in fact at the 536 grain mark. I had forgotten that I added 100 brass inserts to get to that weight
@@thestoicarcher2819 Nice, that should make a decent hunting weight arrow.
Thank you! I’ve been looking for someone shooting off the shelf and was considering doing the exact same thing with the satori plates. Great to know it can be done
Do they sell the Satori plates seperate?
@@jamesasmith2494 3rivers does.
Your quiver looks so nice!
great video bud
I’m looking to start traditional bow hunting next year and plan to film the process. Any recommendations on good budget longbows and recurves? Under $500.
Nice video! I shoot off of an elevated riser myself
Dig your home made quiver bracket. Great video
Beauty, how's that sight window for longer shots. It's 7" ? If I remember right. I've got it in my Amazon cart just waiting to pull the trigger on it . Wanting some info before. Looking to shoot off of a spring rest . It looks like a flat shooter. You shooting wood ,alum or graphite. I like graphite
Recently got a #50 Discovery with R3 limbs also and liking it 👌🏼. What size is that Big Jim's quiver? I wish they had size comparison photos on their site. Is that the chocolate color? Thanks
I JUST bought this same bow. I’m shooting off an elevated rest. My bareshaft looks good but it’s a 31” arrow at 600gr…260spine arrow with 250g up front. Seems VERY stiff to me. But the shaft is consistently good.
What spine are your arrows? You said you had to stiffen them a lot.
Thanks for the presentation. What's the brace height on that setup?
Would you still recommend this riser? Im trying to choose my first ilf riser for a hunting setup
I just bought the same setup. Limbs are R1 foam core & read 62"@45# but are 60" & 50# ...and I'm pissed.
Dustin, while you can dial the limb bolts out a few lbs. I understand your frustration. My 50 lb. Limbs seem a bit heavier as well, but I haven't put it on a scale. I adjusted mine down a bit. I'm ok with it for me, since I have a short draw length.
Great looking bow. Would you recommend this for hunting?
Absolutely. I hunted all last season with it, and loved it. One of the nice parts about an aluminum ilf bow with carbon foam limbs is that they are weatherproof. The only negative I could mention is that the aluminum riser gets very cold on winter hunts.
@@thestoicarcher2819 awesome, thank you for the reply. I plan on shooting off the shelf, do you recommend a plunger? I've never used one in the past but wanted an experienced opinion. Thank you!
@@jacobmadden110 If you want to shoot off the shelf, you absolutely can, and I did for a good while. I would recommend the accutune from the push archery. I have since switched to a springy rest and really like it.
@@thestoicarcher2819 hey I also got the Samick Discovery and took your advice for the Hoyt Strik Plate and it actually isn’t exactly fitting. The screw won’t tighten enough. So I got the micro adjust springy rest from 3 Rivers. Do you use a plunger with the springy? I’m going for the “less is more” approach is why I ask.
@@Hansanca to get the hoyt plate to work, you also have to shorten the screw a bit by cutting it down. I do not use a plunger with the springy rest.
I’m looking to purchase this bow and I am curious if or how many of the spacers you used on the Hoyt strike plate?
David, sorry for not seeing your question sooner. Life has been a bit busy lately. Currently the strike plate has 2 spacers in it. I am about to build a new set of stiffer arrows that should allow me to remove both
What riser length?
Do you need unstring ''syntetic'' bows ? after shooting ?
Leaving a bow with carbon limbs strung for extended periods of time is not detrimental. However it is still best practice to unstring when not in use for long periods.
Hey bud. I would like to see if you would be willing to make this quiver bracket for me and id pay for it...
How many ft/s it has?
Super quiet? Not really.
Listening to this with headphones I would say that's a quiet bow. It's a recurve so it's always going to have a thump to it.
@@biketron thank you. I appreciate your response. I would have to agree.
mics ALWAYS make things seem louder than they actually are, you are wrong dude..
Once he gets those 550gr arrows flying, shouldn’t be any noise at all.
@@woodsmith8439 i weighed those arrows after making the video. They were in fact 537 grains. I had forgotten I put 100grn inserts in last year
Man you say Uh an a lot I don't believe I would be able to watch your videos. Sorry bout that
