![]() ![]() I guess my point is that if you don’t want to spend the huge $$ for the X Tour limbs, and if you prefer to have limbs that match the bow, then there is nothing inferior about the standard Satori limbs for the money. He also immediately started grouping better with the Satori than he was with the Buff, so whether this was just the longer bow effect, or because the Satori was new I really can’t say. That was noted by the owner of the Buffalo as well as by myself. ![]() Whilst the Buffalo is lighter in the hand, and very nice to shoot it was slower than the Satori. I shot side by side with a fellow club member recently who was shooting his 45lb Buffalo and then we swapped for a few shots. I have found the standard limbs to be smooth and plenty fast. I set the bow up with a NAP flipper rest which works very well with vanes.Ībout the Standard Satori limbs: there has been some discussion on various sites about the pros and cons, comparing both against the X Tour limbs as well as those of other brands. The finish on the limbs is superb, and is, IMO, much nicer than the rather average black sprayed finish that I saw on other models in the dealer’s stock. The finish on the riser is very good and there were no issues with the threaded holes being clogged as mentioned in an early review I read. I chose the Buckskin riser with Realtree camo limbs, the Standard Satori limbs. I decided to take it, and have no regrets. In the event Hoyt supplied a 21” riser with long limbs amounting to a 66” bow. When I tried out the Satori at our local Hoyt dealer I shot the 62” model, with the 19” riser and medium limbs, which felt fine, however I decided to wait for a longer option so I placed a forward order for a 19 inch riser with long 45lb limbs, which would have given me a 64” bow. ![]() I am 6’1” tall and have a 30 ½ inch draw length. I thought it might be opportune to review it right now, even though I have mentioned the bow a couple of times on this site. If you're decided on 21" riser, this plan won't work, as the TBow is only available in 19".I have now had my new Hoyt Satori in 66 inch, 45 pound inches for a little over 2 months. If you've chosen the TBow, you'll then have to decide if you want to upgrade to the genuine article. You'll be able to recoup all or most of your money. If it's close, then shoot them both for a couple months and sell the one you don't like on this forum. If you strongly prefer the Black Elk immediately on comparison, send the Tbow back for refund. And at the same time order a TBow riser from Amazon - not a set with limbs, but just the riser. Suggestion: Order a Black Elk from Alternatives with a set of limbs of your choice. I don't shoot my TBow often, but each time I do I kind of marvel at how well it points and shoots. The Satori, as others have said, points very naturally. I like the grip on the Black Elk better, but the Satori grip is also very good. So both risers are solid, proven designs, rather than something that went from someone's brain to CAD to market only recently. ![]() This is a design that they've been making for years and have sold under various names. The Black Elk is essentially the 21" version of what Win & Win currently call the Explore DX. The Satori borrows elements from several generations of Hoyt Olympic recurve risers. TBow feels a bit more solid after the shot Black Elk has a slightly pingy feel, but this is slight, subtle.īoth risers come out of long Olympic recurve pedigrees and R&D. I like a lighter riser I think I'm in the minority. The TBow and Satori are heavier than the Black Elk. I prefer the Black Elk's looks - Lorien vs Mordor, in my view, LOL - but there's no accounting for taste. I have the TBow Satori-clone and a Black Elk. ![]()
