Galaxy Archery Sage Longbow
Very Good
Ranked #2 of 7 longbows
$229.99
Lancaster's house brand took the Sage name everyone knows from the recurve world and put it on a 68-inch one-piece longbow. Dymondwood, hard maple, and oak under black fiberglass, phenolic-reinforced tips, and a crowned shelf. At $229.99 and 1.23 pounds on the scale, it does exactly what a first longbow should: teaches you to shoot a stick without emptying your wallet.
Standout feature: The lightest published mass weight under $250 — at 1.23 lbs it's a bow you can shoot for three hours without your arm noticing.
The verdict
The Galaxy Archery Sage Longbow earns a CareScore of 69.3/100 (very good), ranking #2 of 7 longbows we’ve scored at $229.99. The lightest published mass weight under $250 — at 1.23 lbs it's a bow you can shoot for three hours without your arm noticing.
Scored by the published CareScore v1.1.0 methodology from manufacturer specs, June 2026.
Pros
- Published mass weight (1.23 lbs) — rare honesty at this price point
- Phenolic-reinforced limb tips on a $230 bow
- Crowned arrow shelf helps clean arrow flight without an elevated rest
- Available LH and RH in 5 lb steps from 30 to 55 lbs
Cons
- Special-order status at Lancaster — 2-3 week wait when we checked
- Tops out at 55 lbs, so heavy-draw hunters look elsewhere
- Neither Galaxy nor Lancaster publishes the grip spec
