I called to ck on a satori and you have to order the riserseperate then limbs and you even have to order a string seperate. Thats kinda messed up I think.

If you deal with 3 Rivers it comes as a package I think. You pulling the trigger on a 21"?

Jerry

It comes as a package or separate. I have mine ordered by the local bow shop which is a Hoyt dealer. Told him which combination I wanted and that's the way he ordered it. If you look on line there are all kind of places with them for sale already paired up. If you order it all separate it will cost you more money than ordering it together in a package.

I see them often enough on here for sale. I'd be patient and save $300!

I don't understand Satori's advantage over various other Hoyts, or why someone would want a Hoyt riser but not Hoyt limbs.

Seems like something Hoyt will refine further in a subsequent model.

Please enlighten me.

The Satori shelf and strikeplate design is great. The finish is great. Many other risers require you to 'fix' those two things.

For limbs....there are all kinds of options.

Yes Jerry, ordered it today.Wanted a 21 in buckskin but got the black 19 in on a trade. Thats ok though,I will shoot them both.

Dude....I'd have expected all Hoyt finishes to be "great." Does some company make non-great? Is shelf/strikeplate so good that it warrents Satori over other bows? Isn't a "fix" easy with any bow?

...I don't mean to be argumentative (in this case). But my impression (based on posts) is that earlier Hoyts may be better deals, and that Satori may soon be followed by Satori II.

Sorry gu t s I just like it. To each his own. Satori II maybe but I will just keep what I got.

JK' I'm sure over the years Hoyt will continue this design as it evolves from Hunter feedback. Call it II or whatever. After all they based this riser on decades of competition archery experience combined with the success of the Dorado and Buffalo platforms. Not to mention the input of Fred Eichler, the first person to Super Slam with a recurve. However, the Dorado and Buffalo had a big drawback. They were not ILF. If you loved your Buffalo 20 years from now and needed a new or different set of limbs "good luck".

While moderately priced as far as new ILF risers and limbs go, I'm not sure they were marketing or designing towards the Hunter looking for a bargain or "good deal" due to the archers financial situation. I think they were trying to build the best ILF hunting specific riser and limbs they could, and I think they did an awesome job.

As far as non Hoyt limbs on Hoyt risers, and not understanding that.... well, there's some really smart designers in this world and not all of them work for Hoyt. BUT you can still try their limbs on your Satori riser!

Jerry

Interesting statement about Hoyt limbs. I do a lot of reading on TT, a place more oriented to ILF. I have nothing against Hoyt limbs. I do have 5 sets of ILF limbs and none are Hoyt.

Why??? I think that when I looked at price and performance I always got a limb at the Hoyt price that performed better or if I figured the performance was the same, the other company was cheaper.

Right now, because of a post here I'm looking at MK limbs and Hoyt doesn't even enter into the picture. I just don't see people rave about Hoyt limbs???

Probably should buy a set to see if I was correct.

Ordered mine from my local Hoyt dealer and it arrived complete including shipping to Hawaii for $815. 21" riser, long limbs, case, string, extra hardware and wrenches, etc.

I would ask whoever you buy it from what the warranty situation would be purchasing from them because Hoyt lists very specifically in their owner's manual that bows bought on the internet are NOT covered under warranty!

Actually Rick Dugan was the first to take the Super Slam with a recurve,

The Satori riser is a great riser there is no doubt. Like I've said before, they made a factory version of what lots of folks have done on recurves with plunger holes for years, but we did it with a bolt. And, the manufacturing process fits in well with the new side plate arrangement on their Olympic risers also.

As for performance, there are limbs that are faster than Hoyts, but when it comes to a mixture of stability, durability, and speed, they are as good as any, and better than some.

Get this!!! I was at Rick Dugan's house. Myself and probably 350 other people. Two years ago I went to the Compton Banquette in Denver. He invited EVERYONE to his home to see his taxidermy work. That might lead you to believe he's a showoff, not the case. Very humble all around great guy. I have pictures, but they don't describe.

My hunting buddy did a lot of the work. There's a grizzly that charges the door when you walk in. Enough said.

Bowmania, that's pretty darn cool. I've never met him but understand he's a fine guy,

fdp, should have come to the Compton Banquette.
