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.

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?

George D. Stout · June 23, 2009, 09:18:00 PM

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??

George D. Stout · June 24, 2009, 02:14:00 PM

owlbait, maybe he picked up the "Popper" model.

owlbait · June 24, 2009, 11:39:00 PM

He must've picked up 2 of them George! They sure made him and a friend nervous

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!

Jaeger · June 25, 2009, 03:23:00 AM

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.

Dave Bowers · June 25, 2009, 12:00:00 PM

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.

George D. Stout · June 25, 2009, 12:05:00 PM

Dave....Tradtech bows are made by Samick....always were.
