gmucha,

Can you weigh the riser? The ad at LAS says it weighs 3#, but I'm sure that's not right. I'd bet that's the weight of the entire bow. Heck, my 25" Hoyt Matrix riser weighs 2.6#. If I thought that rise weighed 3# by itself, I'd order one too.

 

The riser mass is about 2 pounds. With limbs and string total mass is right around 3 pounds.

 

am excited for it to show up! Thank you for the response! I didnt realize it came with the rests until after i bought it lol. I cant wait to shoot it.
How do the tt limbs do on it? I ordered 35# limbs but was thinking about getting some tt ones when i upgrade to 40lbs.

Interested in seeing how you guys like them. I almost ordered one the ither day as my first ilf riser but I was apprehensive due to no reviews. Maybe I'll pick one up when I see how they work out for you

 

Im by no means a professional but ill do my best to inform you guys. Maybe ill take some videos or something and upload them here.

Don't worry about that. All you can do is give your opinion and personal experience and that'll be just fine. Not to mention it'll be a whole lot more info that we have now.

A Korean seller review the Sear (in different name, same bow).

No idea what he is talking about but review seems positive enough.

N the close up footage give us an overview on the quality.

That long bow looks just like the samick Sage Longbow and the PSE Terra Longbow...

 

I am not that into longbow/flat bow until my recent custom order with Falco.

But I don't quite remember seeing Black Ridge alike bow in 70 inch when surfing the web, so I think the Galaxy line of longbows may very possibly be new products.

N comparing the 3 bows....PSE Terra is 64 inch long, Sage one piece long bow is 68 inch long, Galaxy Black Ridge is 70 inch being the longest....N their lamination looks totally different.

 

It must be one of the very few "mass produced" long bow`s on the market.

 

Still waitin on it lol the free shipping isnt nearly as fast as their normal shipping. But its free so cant complain to much lol

Helo mate,

how is the Sear?

 

Well, we got one of these in at the shop where I am on staff. For the money I think it a GREAT starter bow. We have the bottom end riser and the bottom end limbs at 28#. They tend to stack a bit quicker than my Hoyt X-Tours past 28" but, hey, whatcha gonna do. :wink:

All in all we are very pleased with it and we have shot the heck out of it without issue. My guess is that we have already put two or three years worth of arrows through it.

 

When you say starter bow(riser) how do you justify that? What does a more expensive riser offer? This one has multiple rest options. Solid limb pockets. Lateral adjustments. Grip feels and looks good. It's got a stabilizer bushing. There is no sight or quiver mount.

I have a Sear, in addition to several other wood ILF risers. It makes a great looking bow that if you get the right limbs will perform well for any shooter.

Very interesting riser for the hunting crowd. Starting to make it hard to spend hundreds more for other risers. Seems to have everything one needs in a riser. The Sear riser and some wood/glass TT limbs and you have a heck of a bow for little money.

 

I have a Galaxy Crescent 25" ILF riser the fit and finish are super nice, shoots great, i am impressed!

 

Slightly off topic.. but I have not found that risers make much difference one way or the other as long as they are basically sound and limbs fit properly. I shoot $100 and $1000k risers, arrows go pretty much to same location for me.

I had one cheap REALLY low weight Nikka riser/ILF limb combination that was simply improperly engineered and the dovetail fitting was not deep enough, so the limbs were actually riding on the dovetail vs. on their pads. This was not just on my bow, I saw a guy at the range with same bow and same issue. Arrows still largely went where I shot them. I have to fix that one.

My wife is on a set of Galaxy limbs we bought for her 4 years ago, likely 15k+arrows through them, going fine. I like the Galaxy Silver Star foam and fiberglass limbs myself as well.
