The Hoyt Satori Takedown Recurve Bow Is The Sportsman’s Choice
OutdoorHub Reporters 03.13.19
Since the 1930’s, Hoyt has been producing high-quality bows that have become the measuring stick that other bows are compared to. And, Hoyt is still the undisputed leader in high-quality recurve bows – The Hoyt Satori Takedown Recurve Bow is the “holy grail” of recurve bows from Hoyt.
There’s really nothing that comes close to the quality and precision of a Hoyt Satori bow. And while the Satori lineup is “priced a little high”, you get what you pay for.
The Satori is built on a modular platform/shelf allowing easy adjustments to how center shot you want your bow. It’s extremely lightweight, exceptionally fast, with amazing laser accuracy (without a laser).
For some sportsmen, there is no other choice; the recurve bow is their only choice. Sportsmen believe that the compound bow is cheating (i.e. Mark McGuire and Barry Bonds taking steroids to achieve new records). But, let’s put all of that aside and discuss the advantages and disadvantage of each briefly.
Advantages Of A Recurve Bow
- They Are Very Light And Easy To Carry
- Closer To A Survivalist Bow With Newer Technology
- Considered To Be The Sportsman’s Choice
- Disadvantages Of A Recurve Bow
- Requires More Practice To Maintain Accuracy
- Not Great For Long Distance Shooting
- You’ll Need To Be Stronger
Recurve bows are definitely not the stronger of the two bows, but they are lightweight and easier to carry. Whenever you’re on a long trek across rough terrain, you’ll be thankful for the lighter bow.
Advantages Of A Compound Bow
- More Accurate And Powerful
- Shoots Longer Distances
- Reduces Need For Practice
Disadvantages Of A Compound Bow
- Heavier Than A Recurve Bow
- More Mechanical Parts To Maintain
- Is Considered “Cheating” By Some Sportsmen
Compound bows are heavier than their recurve counterparts, but they are MUCH stronger too. For larger game kills, you’ll need something with a little more “UMPHH” such as a compound bow.
While the “true sportsmen” will balk at the idea of using a compound bow, they are great for beginners an individuals who aren’t built on the “traditions of old”.
Now, you don’t actually have to take a side. Both bows are great, but for the sportsman, a recurve bow ups the difficulty level and really proves who is the better bow hunter. Getting started, a recurve bow is going to be much more difficult to use. That’s why a lot of people start out with a compound bow. The compound bow is easier to pull back, aim, sight, and deliver a kill shot.
After time, archers and hunters alike, might prefer the challenge of a recurve bow. If so, the Hoyt Satori Takedown Recurve bow should be on the top of the list. The Hoyt Satori Takedown Recurve is great for any situation. It comes with a lot of options (i.e. Risers, Limbs) in multiple sizes.
Whether you are out target shooting or looking for the next big-game kill, the Hoyt Satori Takedown Recurve will take care of you.
Once you get comfortable with the Hoyt Satori Takedown Recurve Bow, you’ll never want to pick up another bow again. The Hoyt Satori Signature Series by Fred Eichler epitomizes the long, rich history that Hoyt Archery has been known for since the 1930’s. The Satori lineup combines all the cutting-edge technology and innovation while maintaining their core principles of classis design and tradition.
