Sanlida Dragon X9 Ready to Hunt Compound Bow Package for Adults, Archery Compound Bow and Arrow Set, 0-70 Lbs Draw Weight, No Bow Press Needed, Limited Life-time Warranty

Overall this is a very nice bow. With all the accessories that are included it's really a good buy.Pros: Great riser, good limbs with dampeners, decent sight, D-loop installed and nicely set-up, very easy to adjust Draw length and draw weight without bow-press.Cons: Arrows are weird and don't work with the included arrow rest. The 4" fletching jams into the rest. On the positive side the support center for Sanlida immediately responded and sent me 12 new arrows with shorter vanes (3") and they moved the vanes 1/2" closer to the nock. Great service! I was still able to use the 4" vanes by flipping the rest to the front of the riser.I had to modify the rest: the brushes were way to close to each other and had to be ground off on a belt sander, now the arrows glide nicely past the rest. I don't use the quiver, arm sling, the stand and I use my own palm-release. All in all the bow is well built and a good value.

I am a newbie to archery. I bought 2 Sanlida recurve bows and 2 TBows to get in to Olympic style shooting for fun at 65 year young. After 5 months I have developed some skills but I can't shoot beyon 40Yds with the recurve bows with real accuracy ( such as 5" groups). I bought this bow, Sanlida Dragon X9, so I can shoot from 60yards and yes it does the job. Please see the attached pics for my setup and target results (I used picked up arrows from local archery range so the results are not great.) By the way, I am shooting rifles off hand for years so aiming and shooting a bow is not so hard for me.About the package:I received an opened box. Everything found intact and in new condition. The warehouse may openned it to check the bow's color ( I did return a bow before this one for wrong color ordered.) Set up the bow was easy and all accessories and arrows are decent and useable except the mechanical release. It broke after a couple of pulls. I set the bow only at 45# (the release could be OK for under 35#). I wish Sanlida has 2 options. one for teens (this package) another for adults with more serious accessories (at higher price of course).

The bow itself is great, it comes with everything ready to hunt. It is designed to be used for hunting despite can also be a great option target shooters.Pros:1. High quality bow, comes with the string attached so you don't need a bow press and contains all the basic attachments to use2. Easy to tune, comes with a manual and there is many videos in YouTube to teach you how to tune. The only hard part is adjusting the draw length. Explained later. Most part you can tune and adjust your bow by your own easily after some tutorial other than peep sight that you may need a bow press and don't have issues with being not serviceable as you can do everything yourself other than peep sight that is serviceable.3. Very affordable and very high value that is significantly cheaper compared to other brands products at similar quality4. Nice appearance5. Very smooth releaseCons:1. Arrows are not good, I suggest to get new ones as many user have experienced problems with it.2. In rare cases user reported problems with the manufacturing defects. I didn't experience that.3. The attachment are mid-low quality. If really need to improve accuracy you may need to upgrade them (mainly for experts, if you are beginner or intermediate shooting less than a year I suggest you focus more about improving on human errors rather than upgrading accessories). Since using the accessories that it comes with is still perfectly fine unless you are competing or an professional in target shooting, etc. Remember if you are competing, make sure to choose fixed pin because it don't comes with adjustable sight, stabilizers, and magnifiers like an target shooting compound does, unless you have upgraded the attached accessories.5. Some people might find hard to adjust the draw length. Compared to other bows is still much better but there are still room for improvements. To adjust the draw length you have to loosen the back screw of the cam, then unscrew and change the screw position based on numbered indicator to adjust your draw weight and screw it.6. There are pink coloring on screws not sure what those are after shooting for few days. But for now, it still works perfectly fine. (Probably it is corrosion since I leave it overnight at a very humid environment)

I was hoping to get a decent one for practice use, but after a few tries and couple shots in it lacks precision. Arrows felt a bit flimsy, so the shots aren't as consistent. It's good for beginners to try out, but I wouldn't consider this for skill builder as it lacks consistency.
