I am using the Hoyt string that comes with it, which seems well made and fits perfectly (unlike some other strings I've gotten with new bows that don't, which seems to me like buying a new Porsche and having trouble closing the door: "Don't worry about that just pull up on the doorknob a little as you swing it shut"). It has the Hoyt traditional carbon X tour limbs, and the Jager Hoyt 3.0 grip. I bought my Satori from 3 Rivers, a sponsor, and they were typically responsive, with my order correct and on time. Well, I've had a few weeks to warm up to the Satori, so I thought I'd make a preliminary report. In the mean time, if you get one of these, be careful when you're attaching the side plate. I wrote in to Hoyt and suggested this, but I would imagine it will be a while, if ever, before anything gets done about it. Hoyt should really make the side plate out of aluminum instead of plastic. I'll probably keep using the double sided carpet tape in addition to the screw when I get the replacement part, because I don't feel like the plate is securely fastened to the bow with the amount of force you can use without stripping the threads in the plastic side plate. I jimmied up a fix by attaching the side plate to the bow with double sided carpet tape like you would attach a stick-on flipper rest, so I could continue playing with it while I'm waiting for my replacement part. The Super Glue doesn't seem to adhere very well to either the metal stud or the plastic of the side plate, I don't know which. I tried to glue in the stud that screws into the side plate with Super Glue, but that didn't hold either. The threads in the plastic are very weak, and strip out with minimal tightening force, which is what happened to me the first time I tried to attach it to the bow. The removable side plate has threads cut into the plastic for attaching it to the riser with an allen screw inserted from the other side of the riser into a threaded stud that screws into the plastic side plate. It has a removable plastic side plate for off the shelf shooting, with spacers to allow for centershot adjustment. So far, I like the way it shoots, and look forward to using it for 3D shoots soon. I'm in process of tuning a new Hoyt Satori recurve.
