I was wandering what it would look and shoot like. Long bow limbs on a satori.

Consider this, the Satori was designed as a platform for recurve limbs from the "git go". That being the case it has a pretty substantial reflex angle on the limb pads to put the recurve limb tips in a particular position when strung.

Longbow limbs have little or no reflex in them in comparison. So, when you pull those straight'ish limbs to brace they are going to be well behind the pivot point of the grip. And since they have little preload when strung, they are going to require a considerably higher brace to load the limbs.

Not sure if your supposed to or not but I know a guy that just put a set of Morrison longbow limbs on a Satori riser. Shot great. God bless
