- In this video we are looking into an affordable Recurve bow from Sanlida Archery. @SanlidaArchery
If you are interrested in this bow you can get it here: emea01.safelin...
been looking for a good bow and arrow set to get me started in traditional shooting and at 130 bucks this looks like a great option
Great video , you do the best speed test of anyone, love the videos keep em coming.
Thank you for watching
Great review. I like that you are using the winch to draw and shoot from a measured draw length. Thanks
Your welcome
I have never commented on your videos, but will today. I really enjoy them. They are very well done and your explainations to topics are great. Keep doing what you are doing!!!
Thank you for the comment
You made great videos and have good taste in background music. I really like that fiddle in "Everlasting Arms".
Thanks for watching
It just goes to show you don't have to break the bank to get a good bow ,great video again Peter thanks for sharing it 👍👍
Your welcome
Peter, when deer can hear sounds far better than we ever can, what difference does it make if the bow twangs, thumps, squeaks, moans or rattles?? The deer have already heard the string release and are moving even before the arrow clears the shelf! I've watched a lot of bow hunting videos and kept an eye on the deer's reaction time and noise from the shooter and in every case this is true. Very good review on a nice looking bow Peter. Cheers from Downunda! :)
I think you are right, thanks for watching
Maybe the difference is not spooking the ones that are about to come in. But I think you are correct on the one that you’re shooting at for sure. Great video.
Nice looking bow good review a lot of bow for the money. Darren
Love every video you post. Great review.
Nice bow and nice shooting. I need to learn how to shoot traditional bows😂
Thanks, good luck🏹
Such a pleasantly melodic video. Thank you for creating this for us.
Your welcome
Love your videos Peter !
Could you do a video, or a series of videos on tuning a bow from new? Love the content.
Yes I’ll consider it. Thanks for watching
Nice video, looks to be a decent little bow for the price. I like your test set up, what are you using on that bench to hold the bow, modified wood vise?
Thanks. I just shaped the wood for most handles, and then putting a piece of wool plaid between the bow and wood. And strap it
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! It's you and Jeff of Instinctive Addition that I watch. You are a very intelligent and skilled archer, and a no - nonsense, practical kind of guy. You are right about the 3rd shot being the toughest!! I simply quit doing the third shot and instead move to a different target to get rid of frustration! 😆 I have a question about this Sanlida RX8 recurve: Do you think I can draw it to 31 inches, or 31.5 inches without it stacking? Also, you live in Europe don't you, which country? I visited Spain last month.
Thanks for watching! Well I wouldent draw the Royal X8 31-32” It would be a stacking bastard😊 It can be done, but it have quite short limbs, and a relatively long riser, so it would be best suited for max 29” draw. Regardless of what Sanlida may say, this is my realistic opinion. Try shift to one arrow at the time. It will improve your accuracy and confidence. In 3d and in hunting scenarios it’s the first arrow that counts anyway. I’m from Denmark Scandinavia.
Great video good information
Your welcome
Thanks for the videos Peter! Can’t tell in the video, did those limb savers make an improvement?
A little difference. Not much but a little.
Very nice MARTIN HUNTER!
Looks similar to various bows, as far I can tell
Looks like a DreamCatcher knockoff...even has the same wood colors.
Looks to have the same look as the Maverick bow and SAS bow. Maybe if it has a twang move the brace hight 73/4 to 8 inches. From the reviews of these look a like bows the reviews have been good Thank you again Peter
Maybe. I’ll look into it, thanks for watching
FF compatible??
@@fahlvfaust677 yes cause the string is D97
@@peterjuulsgaard nice..thanks you sir for your information..
I’m at 7,8” inch now, and attatched the quiver better. Not much sound left👍
I had one of these bow 4 years ago, marketed as the SAS Maverick
Another bargain. Again great shooting sir!
How do you think it compares to the flatbow ?
Any stacking ?
Smoother, or little more twitchy ?
You proved beyond any doubt that a good archer can get good results even with modest kit. A lot of people I know buy fancy gear and get discouraged at mediocre results, but fail to aknowledge their part.
It’s more smooth than the longbow/flatbow no doubt. No hand shock. The longbow have some hand shock. Man! A brewer once told me that bad ale didn’t exist. Just some better than other. It’s never the bow which are causing the problems
@@peterjuulsgaard wise words
@@peterjuulsgaard Thanks for the feedback - I like how accessible archery is becoming, where people can get into it without having to spend a fortune 😊
Hello, Greatplains bow has made a review on this bow. According to them, there is a dacron string. They told me: "Well if it's a D97 string there will be failures on that bow. Solid wood tips. No reinforcement".
Yes I saw that, but that doesent Change that Sanlida say it’s a D97
@@peterjuulsgaard But no reinforcement does not reassure me. The bow rope is very thick at the loops?
Well I don’t know wether it’s D97 or Dacron. But I’m using the original string. I’m alså using FF strings on my selfbows. As long you use a resonable arrow weight it also helps. Remember this bow have a great performance with the string that comes with the bow. If that’s a Dacron it’s even more credit to the bow
@@peterjuulsgaard Ok.
A bit noisy, but a nice recurve though. Thanks for sharing Peter!
Yes. I think it will help with some more arrow weight too.
Thanks!
Your welcome
Nice shirt!
Thanks! One of my favorites
good form you have here! Have you ever considered on taking part in National 3d championships? I think you can be good at placement.
Saying as a 3d longbow archer my self.
Well I only have time to shoot local championships, and I do pretty good on those.
I’m more a hunter. Thanks for watching
I have the Royal X8 Longbow 68" already and love it. Would like to get the Royal X8 One-Piece Traditional Recurve 60", but am concerned about the 60" length. I am 6'3" tall and have a 29" draw...would this stake to much for me or would this still be okay? Also, would I have any finger pinch...I shoot split finger.
I would say 29 is okay. A tip would be to go a little lower on the brace height. They reccomend 7-8” so if you set it at 7” 29 would not be a problem. I shoot 3 under and have always done, so I cant tell wether there are fingerpinch or not. But the bow is tillered for split finger shooting
Thanks for the quick reply and the advise...I am going to probably order one soon. Enjoy your videos.@@peterjuulsgaard
is this bow worth it?
Maybe 8 inch of brace could help?
There is a lot of bow for the money, for sure. Playing with braceheight will help
What, quiver manufacturer made the one you put on the bow. And what were those shock absorbed things you attached to the limbs?
There are several quivers like this, with different names on. Mine is Bearpaw from Germany, but it looks like a Thunderhorn also. The shock absorbers are Limbsavers and go under that name, thanks for watching
Nice one
Indeed
Where are you measuring draw length from? It looks like you're measuring it from the deepest part of the handle and not the front of the cut out?
It'd be interesting to see what sort of arrow speed you're getting when you shoot it through the chronograph?
Just looking at the limbs, it doesn't look like you are getting the same draw length as the bench test? The draw weight at your full draw would also be interesting.
Also, have you measured the tiller? And if so what is it?
Drawlenght on the bench is 28” measured from the deepest “throut” of the handle or pivot point. Plus 1.75” to get out to the cut out. My drawlenght when I shoot is 27” so you figured that out right. You dont have to see the speed when I shoot, cause thats 8-10 fps less than on the bench, because the one inch lesser drawlenght. The test is performed at 28”, cause thats what the bow is marked at. Tiller is split finger
@@peterjuulsgaard Yes I heard you say that it's "tillered for split finger", but what I wanted to know was how much positive tiller it has, in mm or fractions of an inch.
In regards to the question about where you're measuring 28" from on your draw board, I suppose a better question would be if that's where Sanlida measures draw length from too, and whether your experiment is an apples for apples comparison?
The reason I thought it would be interesting to see what sort of arrow speed you were getting with your draw length is because it would give an indication of the speed drop off for a shorter draw length. Some bows are better than others in this respect.
Not to worry, excellent video with plenty of info all the same.
PS Nice shooting too.
I think Sanlida measure from the same point. I was hitting 45,3 on the 28” on the bench so think we are in the right area. The tiller is 8 mm positive with the fade outs. I’m planning to hunt with this one later this season. Thanks for watching
One thing I always wonder about, is if strand count affects speed. Like is a 12 strand D97 faster than a 16 strand D97?
Technically the 12 strand is faster. But you propably need a shooting machine to see it, cause it’s not much. Maybe 1 or 2 fps
@@peterjuulsgaard There is no one on TH-cam that has done that type of test with a shooting machine, could be a good video idea for you. There is an online calculator that say the difference between a 6 strand string, and a 20 strand string is close to 14 fps.
@@jacobwilliams5271 yeah but there is also 12 strand in between. I have tried with 14 and 16 strand and there isn’t any noticable difference. Maybe 1 fps. But again thats not easy to notice on an actual shot. maybe I’ll test it some day.
Hard to beat the price , honest review thanks.
Your welcome
What kind of tab are you using?
Black widow 3 under tab
What tab are you using?
I’m using the Black Widow tab
sounds expensive ,hehe..
Sometimes the gold is in the middle of the video, haha
Center cut measurement?
On center in my world
How about hunt with two fletching arrows?
Why would I do that?
@@peterjuulsgaard at least for verification, there is an opinion that arrows with two feathers work worse than with other factors, so that you can assume by example that we wanted this myth... plus for you it will be a new experience, and for your viewers such content in my opinion will be interesting...
I think that two fletchings will work just fine, as long the spine of the shaft fits the bow. Problem could be to shoot the feather to nose technique, like I do. Because you then have one feather in and one feather out
Hello, it is a dacron string?
According to Sanlida it’s D97
@@peterjuulsgaard Ok, thanks.
For you this bow is fast or not?
This bow is regular fast, not slow
@@peterjuulsgaard Ok.
Set it to seven and the twang will go away.
I own several bows now and between them all i can pluck house of the rising sun, i haven’t learned to shoot yet but my musics cool…! 😂✌🏻💙✊🏻
Good one😂
Haha thats a good one
Is this a real center-shot bow ?
The bow is real center cut. It actually looks like it’s a little past center
@@peterjuulsgaard
Thank you very much.
