Hoyt satori
- Thread starter Robbo
- Start date
I was next to someone shooting one last week. Probably his tuning but it seemed very loud, for the price I purchased two one piece longbows from a local bowyer near me... thing was fast though... suppose it’s whatever you’re into, price tag in Canada seemed a little steep to me for what it is. But I might be bias as I am a wood bow guy.
Robbo,
I have not owned a Satori but I owned a Buffalo which preceded the Satori for several years. The Buffalo was one of the finest recurves I ever shot and I loved it. I could not hold on to it in the stand so I reluctantly sold it. The metal riser was too cold and I rarely wear a glove. The Satori has an excellent reputation and from other owners I know, is an upgrade to the Buffalo. Hoyt has been making excellent compound bows for years and I believe their recurves would be just as good. One of the premier bow hunters in the world (Fred Echler?) had a hand in its design so it is a bow built for hunting. If you are on the fence about one you should find a Hoyt dealer and shoot one to see if it fits you. Good luck!

I have a Refkex Nomad which I believe was the same as the Hoyt Dorado. Most accurate bow I own.
Funny you bring this up. If I can't find other limbs for the Nomad, it's either convert it to ILF.......or buy a new Satori.

With a 25 inch draw you could shoot short limbs on any riser. Even the 17 inch. I have a 30 inch draw and I shoot longs on the 19, mediums on the 21
