Anyone have pics of any of the samick take-downs and info on the best place to get one? i have searched and searched and have yet to find a descent pic of the riser and shelf on any of these bows. thanks in advance.
This is the Red Stag. I really like it; slim profile, comes with a TS-1 flemish twist string, nice tapered limbs....stable and quick. I'll PM you the other information.

Lancaster Archery Supply/Trad Tech sells Samick bows. Sorry I can't help you out on any pics.
thanks George the red stag was one of the ones i was really lookin at but never could find a good pic
Here is one a little closer to the riser for a better view.

i think it is a very good lookin bow how much of a crown does the shelf have?
It's crowned enough to use a rug rest without issue. I have industrial strength velcro on this one, with a popsicle stick under the rug and behind the side plate....works perfectly.
It looks like it has a comfortable grip.
My buddy drew 2 at Compton's and they made popping sounds. Put them down and went looking else where.
I have one and have no complaints. They are fast and quiet, and are light. The grip is very comfy for my hand. If you are hard pressed for money or need a back up bow for a hunt they are a good buy. I use a bear rest on mine with no issues. Extra limbs for them are just over 100 dollars and the bow sells for less than 200.
Samick had a booth at comptons this year and had their 2010 models on display. Looks like they will be offering quite a few new designs in fancy exotic woods and veneers. They were awesome in my opinion. I shot a new reflex deflex longbow and it was awesome. I probably would have bought it right there if it was for sale. I heard a couple other people say the same thing.
I also have a Red Stag, it draws very smoothly and shoots a nice arrow. For the price it is very hard to beat.
Has anyone shot Samick's Verna longbow? How does that sloped handle feel?
Much handshocK??

owlbait, maybe he picked up the "Popper" model.
He must've picked up 2 of them George! They sure made him and a friend nervous :biglaugh:
Here are a few pics of some up and coming Samick bows.
The first is the 15" Samick Recon. ILF compatible, phenolic core with Zebrawood overlays.
I've shot the prototype of this riser and it is a very nice bow.

The second is a traditional type takedown recurve. Cocobolo riser with Bacote.carbon limbs. I haven't shot this one yet but I hope to soon!

Oh yeah, I've shot the Verna. It was a pretty nice hybrid. No handshock to speak of and a comfortable grip. Probably pretty close to a Martin Savannah.
They have some newer hybrids which are even nicer. The Raider comes to mind. I think it is carbon and bamboo but don't quote me.
Samick has teamed up with LAS for R&D on a lot of this new stuff but I don't think the bows will be exclusive to LAS. At least not all of them. LAS is close to me though so that's where I go to see this stuff.
I thought the "Recon" was gonna be a Tradtech bow? Or maybe they just have a bow with the same name? Or did Samick and Tradtech team up? I know they use their limbs.
Dave....Tradtech bows are made by Samick....always were.

Except for the Titan riser. That is made in the USA.

Dang I never knew that?
...thanks George
I still really like the looks of the red stag and i like the clear glass on the deerslayer.
I like that little Recon riser. Very sharp looking. Pair it w/ a set of ILF longs, should make a snazzy little hunting bow.
I agree Chris....that could be a really sweet combination. More US bowyers should look into risers, and even limbs with ILF fittings. The concept is certainly not new, but it has not even come close to full development as far as the bowhunter goes.
Samick has developed some great limbs and risers, and the top models are not cheap. Bowyers here could really add some variety if they cared to do that. It looks like Sky Archery's new owner will be getting into such an endeavor. Hopefully he won't be the only one.
I know Bob Morrison made a riser...don't know about limbs.
I do believe Bob is making limbs as well.
I just picked up the Samick Red Stag and I'm real happy about it. It was a much better bow than what I was expecting. Keep in mind this isn't a custom bow with exotic woods. For me, I was looking for a solid backup to my Saluki. After adjusting the brace height, the bow went dead quiet even though I was using light carbon arrows. I also feel the bow shoots faster than what I would of thought it would. For me this bow will be my beat it up bow, I'll take it everywhere I don't want my Saluki to go. But I really think this is an outstanding bow for anyone starting out.
Yep Chris, Bob does make limbs....my bad. I think as more folks get into the nearly endless variety of bows you can make with a couple risers and limb sets, these will become more attractive to the average bowhunter...especially with the good looking, short wood risers. That Recon riser is looking good, as does the Morrison.
ILF for the bowhunter is just beggining to really shine. If we can get Martin/Howatt to introduce some intermediate hunting limbs in the ILF setup it would give us a few more U.S. options.
Has anyone shot the one piece version of the Red Stag?I think that is a nice looking bow.If it came in a 62" version I would have already bought one myself.Still might have to get one after I hear about what others think of them. :)
Also how about the Red Stag longbow?I would like to see more about it.The small pictures on the websight does not show a lot.

Thanks.
I have bought a cpl from this guy.
http://stores.shop.****.com/garysarchery70__W0QQ_armrsZ1
Got the highlander for the wife but had to work on the handle as it was too big.
Got the deer master for myself and love it. Small handle for my small hands. Wife likes how it feels also.
Got it just a cpl months ago but have already put a few thousand arrows through it. No problems yet.
When you feed the hobby to 5 ppl sometimes ya have to go cheap :-)

It's not letting it go through because it's a link to the auction site. Gary's archery is a store there. You know the one, starts with an E and ends with a Bay.
