I had to admit that i was a bit skeptical (complete bow was only $130.00)
I tend to base a lot of my online purchases on "customer reviews" and the "3 rivers" site had plenty good to say about this little bow. (please note: this is not a plug for 3 rivers...but they are seriously good

On getting the bow i was pretty impressed with the craftsmanship, it's made in Korea..but that not really a bad thing if you consider the calibre of archers that Korea has. It all fit togeather in a few seconds as it's a "no tools takedown" mine is a 50# @ 28'' which makes it about a 55# at my longer draw length. Coming from a 38# target bow the sage was a beast to pull back a first (made more difficult by shorter limbs) but within a few weeks the shoulder was on board with the new poundage.
I quickly discarded the stock string in favor of a "Fast Flight" (Sage is Fast Flight compatible) and i added a few silencers and man this thing is quiet as a mouse.
As you may have seen on a previous post i've been learning barebow and after a lot of experimenting i'm very happy shooting this bow 3 under and it hits where i'm looking.
Another plus of this bow is that spare limbs can be easily bought for around $75.00 (US sites) and poundages range from 40-60 so if your starting out it can grow with you.
Bottom line is: I don't belive you can buy a better Trad bow for the price anywhere. I'm 100% happy with this bow and my much more expensive target bow is collecting dust. If you new to the sport, or want a cheap recurve that does the job look no further.
