For comparison between SF and Samick risers I've really only read posts on forums like this one, and based on that I've heard isolated incidents of SF limb bolts or bushings not holding up (and since it's only an online forum, there's no way to tell if it was the fault of the archers in question either). I have also seen problems with the bushings on W&W's entry- and mid-level risers but I don't know first-hand how these might compare to their SF line.

However I will say that many of my clubmates have been using several generations of Samick equipment (new and used, with varying degrees of abuse) and have never had a problem with worn limb bolts, alignment, or stripped bushings.

Hope that clears it up! And thanks again for keeping me honest...
