I just got on a few weeks ago. It tuned easy. I replaced rest to drop away style. I am almost 42. I have not shot a bow sense I was a teenager. It works well and is very accurate other then my operator error. Can't beat it for the price.
Appreciate the input. I don't know jack squat about bows but I want my 12yr old son and I to learn together. I quickly found out the price of entry can get steep . As a result of your review I now have some confidence that I can get him into without immediately spending $600.
I bought this package for my girlfriend as her first time bow. if you do get one they are great for the price your paying. absolutely get a different release and throw a trophy ridge whisker biskit on it (25 bucks at walmart) the rest itself that comes with it is pretty bad. also get different arrows. the arrows that come with it you can shoot at a low poundage but they are really low end arrows. the sight on it works fine. I am actually passing down my bow to my girlfriend since shes shown genuine interest in the sport. I recently spent big money on my main set up so I wont use it any more. the sanlida were giving to my 13 year old son and im excited to see how it tunes for a youth. for the price though you really cant go wrong with it.
I'm about to purchase one myself so I will be visiting this page and I subscribed so I can learn more about the usage of a bow. Gotta figure out what other kind of Boe I need for bow fishing though I will be using this one for target shooting and improving my accuracy with shooting a bow. Nice video also.
Great video. Would be good if you could give some more bow specs like axel to axel, brace height, draw length range, weight etc. also, what you get in the kit would be interesting to know. Love the videos. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
Exactly! Didnt say 1 word bad about : crap arrows.. only for practice.... plastic crappy site will strip easy and break ! Biscuit rest always creates drag on feathers and slite throws off accurate ! just wanted bow and wheels be perfect good quality and .... im iffy about string ..! not poor/ but not great either.
Awesome shooting bow, must admit I thought it would have been a lot harder to tune. Now you just need to get your hands on the Sanlida Hero x10 target bow to see how it shoots. Just an idea ...lol
Thx for the nice review! What type/brand/spine arrows do you shoot on this bow on 70lbs? How high or where does de D loop has to be in relation to the arrowrest? Kind regards from Belgium. ps: I subbed
That slo-mo of your expression was priceless. You "stole the show" from the bow. I know, bowetic. I had archery in high school and really liked it. I was probably the best archer in the class even though I hadn't ever shot a bow before that class. I didn't keep up with it because I'm a competitive long-rifle & skeet shooter, but it's hard to do either in the suburbs of California. Neighbors can be persnickety. The "thwack" of an arrow on a target is much quieter than a .22 or 20 gauge, even when both are subsonic. Wish me lulululuck.
☝🏼 is correct. I have my Dragon X8 limbs maxed out, but since I only draw 28 inches, my draw weight is somewhere around 64-65 lbs. I'm fine with that as it'll still kill any whitetail deer on the face of the planet. I can also shot it all day long in the backyard as opposed to my Hoyt Carbon Defiant Turbo.
🍎 and 🟠 The Bear Legit is more than double the cost of the Dragon X8. The Dragon X8 is comparable to the Bear Cruzer (also WAY more expensive) which I used to own but sold after getting my Dragon X8.
I have had two strings and a limb failure over the years. One string was brand new, US made. The accessories were tied in to tight and cut the bow string, causing the string to fail. I don't know why your string failed, but I wanted you to know that strings can fail, and it may not be because of the bow. My 2 cents, Happy Holidays.
You'll find the weakness is poor quality cam bearing systems in the low cost bows .iv found after about 1000 shots the top cam bearing especially developed a lot of freepkay .ofcourse yiu then buy another because there's no.parts support.
When an American company stops being greedy and sells a comparable bow for the same price as the Dragon X8 then I will happily purchase one from them, but I'm not going to spend more than double the cost on an "American" bow just to make a random American CEO just a little richer. I'd rather that money stay in my bank account to provide for my family instead of theirs.
Make sure you buy it from Amazon if you want the warranty. I made the mistake of buying mine on eBay from an Amazon reseller. When I tried to register it for the warranty even though it was brand new in the sealed box, Sanlida refused to register it for the warranty. So basically I'm on my own if anything goes wrong with this bow. I hope it's a quality product and I think it's ridiculous that they won't cover it just because I purchased it through a reseller. It literally shipped directly from Amazon. I ordered it from eBay and the eBay seller then ordered it from Amazon and had it shipped to me. Apparently that's not good enough for them to warranty the bow though which is really disappointing. With that being the case I have to assume that getting them to cover any sort of warranty is probably equally difficult. They seem to be more in the business of not covering their products as they are in helping their customers.
Even without the warranty issue, it doesn't make sense to pay more by buying it on eBay as opposed to ordering it directly from Sanlida on Amazon. Why pay a middleman extra money to do something you can easily do yourself?
Hard to tell just from this one video. It would have been different if he was shooting various bows so we could hear the difference in loudness between them, but you can't tell how loud a bow really is if it's the only one being shot since you have no idea how close the mic is, how sensitive it is, the size of the room, the acoustics of the room, etc. Without knowing all those things, you're just stating an OPINION not a fact.
Thanks for the Review !!! I bought It out of reviews like yours and I love It !!!

How's it holding up I'm 45 and new to bows but considering it
@Yelladog78 holding up great. I am probably going to replace the stings but I've shot it alot. Enough to start wearing put down loop.
@@joshuaward5116 awesome and thanks for taking the time to answer my question
Thanks for the insight! Seeing these go for $200 and I went to the range for the first time yesterday and got hooked!

Great review pal I have one on order. Bows are very hard to get in the uk so you made my mind up with this

them arrows bend in flight soo bad they almost break at 70 lbs pull.. lol
Awesome shooting bow, must admit I thought it would have been a lot harder to tune. Now you just need to get your hands on the Sanlida Hero x10 target bow to see how it shoots. Just an idea ...lol
Sanlida makes a solid bow I just wished we could get more reviews on the sanlida velocity x10
I want one
You can buy the velocity x10 for like 550$ on Amazon I’m thinking about getting 1 myself
Do it
Love this bow
Looks like I made a good choice and I'm glad I didn't spend $2000.
Appreciate, very good explanation, what is your arrow brand and model is look so nice
Thx for the nice review! What type/brand/spine arrows do you shoot on this bow on 70lbs? How high or where does de D loop has to be in relation to the arrowrest? Kind regards from Belgium. ps: I subbed
Dang that’s impressive
I just purchased a dragon x9
Curious about your stabilizer.
What length would that be?
Are you usine this bow in target competition?

why do target archers let the bow swing down after releasing an arrow?
Because their hands are not wrapped around the grip
I got one for Christmas and I shoot it all the time and I love it best bow I have had they could easily sale this bow for 500$
They really are great !
Hi, a friend of my selling one, my question is, can I use it as a target bow as well cause I'm gonna use it fore both target, 3d and hunting?
Yes
What is your draw length and arrow length?
What are good arrows to use?
Which release are you using?
What would you upgrade on the bow? Like sight or rest or quiver etc…
The sight and quiver are ok, but the rest and arrows suck.
Do you think I have to worry about the peep sight at all
Need one
@@MerrittOutdoor on the bow itself like does it seem pretty good
@@taylorworzalla9295 yes
Do you feel it’s really 70lbs on the draw? I got one a week ago. I love it, but I feel likes it’s not a full 70lbs
70lbs with @31 inch draw length,,poundage reduce if DL decrease
☝🏼 is correct. I have my Dragon X8 limbs maxed out, but since I only draw 28 inches, my draw weight is somewhere around 64-65 lbs. I'm fine with that as it'll still kill any whitetail deer on the face of the planet. I can also shot it all day long in the backyard as opposed to my Hoyt Carbon Defiant Turbo.
Does that bows draw length change in half inch increments? I tend to have a half inch draw length but I'm interested in getting one of these.
Yes
Would u prefer this over the bear legit?
No
@@MerrittOutdoor okk
🍎 and 🟠
The Bear Legit is more than double the cost of the Dragon X8. The Dragon X8 is comparable to the Bear Cruzer (also WAY more expensive) which I used to own but sold after getting my Dragon X8.
can't find a left handed one.
Don’t make one ;(
Use the right way
Is this a target or hunting bow?
Yes
@@MerrittOutdoor thanks for help great job
💯👍🏼
Great vid .
string broke and injured my wrist after just 4 rounds of shots of 12 arrows....I sent it back ....arrows are junk

Veryyyy loud bow
Are you sure?
@@NatasyaAulia-rj4mb sounds very loud to me and since I run my own shop and build bows I know
