Title: Samick Rattle
Post by: YosemiteSam on December 01, 2016, 03:35:00 PM
I ordered a left-handed riser for my Samick Sage and it shoots fine with the limbs from my right-handed bow.  The limb bolts are longer but otherwise, it's pretty much the same.  But when I received some new limbs, the bottom limb wouldn't bolt on (holes misaligned).  Then I received my replacements and they rattle at every shot.  I think the top limb is just a tad loose in the pocket.  Any ideas how to fix this?

Fold over a little piece of masking tape as a shim and place it under the limb.

I'm someone here has some scrap glass they'd send you, just glue it to the pad and drill a hole for the bolt. This way you'd be using a material known to be equal dimensions on both sides.

Crooked...

You may be right, but a lot of people who want to start with archery start with a Sage.

My first go at archery was back in about 1967 - made my first bow in 1969 - broke after a few hundred arrows.

Didn't have anything to do with archery after about 1970.

School, girls, motorcycles distracted me!

Mentioned archery to my son when he was about 14 - wanted to have a go, so a Sage for Christmas.
I had to have a go with it, of course.

As soon as I did, I decided to get one for myself, which brought me to bow making.

Rarely shoot the Sage these days, but very glad I bought it.

These days I mostly shoot Canadian Made!

Send the limbs back - they are faulty. You should not have to do anything yourself to correct misaligned pins...
