Oak Ridge is renowned for its large selection of remarkable traditional bows at affordable prices. The bamboo version of the Black Sada Horse Bow is an ambidextrous one-piece horse bow with an AMO length of 52". It is slightly longer than most traditional horse bows, and as such, has a very smooth draw, especially at higher poundages. The Bamboo Sada is a beautiful horse-bow with inlaid laminates of different coloured woods in the handle with bamboo limbs. It is ambidextrous, so it can be used in any hand. and also includes a D-75 string.
I special ordered a 50# Sada horse bow in Dec of 24'. It came at the end of January 25'.
Took it out for the first time the family day long weekend and ending up shooting it for 2 hours - indoors and outdoor on a 3D course.
It is very light for its size and amazing to shoot. I have a set of 2314 Easton arrows I used with it and an outdoor set of Carbon 6.5mm 500 spine carbons.
Highly recommend getting one if you want to get into horse bows and primitive archery.
My 40lb Sada with the natural finish is both a joy to shoot/look at.
It's very light and compact at 52" vs my 62" ILF bow. If you take the time to learn how to shoot it, it will give you a nice snappy experience and can be surprisingly accurate.
A very quiet bow but hold it properly otherwise you may get some string slap with the short BH, or just wear your arm guard and sling away using the Mediterranean style or thumb release.
Highly recommended if you want to venture into "horse-bows" and don't want to break the bank.
The Sada is also available with the black limbs. If you can't decide get both :).
Btw, the Customer Service at CAO has been top notch.....
Special orders receive top priority and are given prompt attention.
While larger items like bows may not always be readily available, many special order items are consistently kept in stock.
The general turnaround time for special orders is a minimum of 8 weeks, depending on the lead times set by the manufacturer.
Certain bows, such as compound bows, olympic recurve risers and limbs as well as traditional recurve bows, are exclusively made to order directly from the manufacturer if "special order" is indicated. They cannot be cancelled or refunded if special ordering.
We strive to meet the deadlines mentioned above and make every effort to do so. Due to extreme lack of availability and stock within the Archery industry, lead times are only estimates.
Cancelling special order items depends on the product type. For those that can be cancelled, the following fee's may apply.
Some products such as custom made, made-to-order or special order bows cannot be cancelled. Many of these items are brought in from overseas or made specially by the manufacturer upon an order being placed.
