@@lesmo9627 Sorry, i got the last comment wrong. Thought you were talking about other green arrows. The Pointdo arrows are great arrows. 320 spine. Carbon arrows. I have a 100 grain insert, bringing them to 18% FOC and 455 grains. Thick carbon cross section. Some of the cheap arrows on amazon are thin and break, but these have been great. And only like $40 for 12.
That arrow rest is designed to have the arrow nocked with the different colored fletch pointing up. Then the arrow will fly through the rest without the fletchings touching. It's a good rest, your just using it wrong.
So it's a good rest? No need to upgrade for casual yard shooting then? I don't mean to come off with a weird question about the rest. I simply don't know the differences yet TY.
I enjoy my Sanlida x8. I did order a drop away when I ordered it, not a fan of hostage style rest. And just ordered new strings. It's an awesome bow. I keep up with hunters shooting $600-$800 bows at 3d shoots.
If your fleching are hitting you need to turn your nock the point of that rest is they are supposed to go though the holes in the rest so that there's no slowing of the arrow.
I just bought one of these bows and love it for a beginner bow for me. The only thing I upgraded was the arrows I got with the pro package. I got 350 spine instead of the 500 spine it came with
A word of caution to those getting into compound archery: Drawing a modern compound bow by hand, without a release aid, risks having the string derail from the cams. This effectively dry fires the bow, risking damage to the bow and archer! Also, don't draw a bow without a knocked arrow.
If you have the strength to draw and let down the bow without dry firing, how does pulling it by hand risk the cams? I’m no expert, but I’ve never heard of a cam derailing as long as the string was pulled straight back and not torqued side to side.
@@ThatJamesGuy88 You touched on the issue. At full draw, there's not a lot of tension there to keep the string straight. If enough torque is applied, the string can run off the cams. I've seen it happen. It's not pretty. It's not so much a matter of torque from the holding arm as it is torque from the hand on the string. The natural tendency is for the string angle at the top of the archer's hand to bend inward while the bottom bends outward. Some bows can handle it better than others.
UP 60$ from the time of this video. Freaking greed of you guys, that's a 30% increase over 3 months! I would love to purchase this bow but, I won't support a company that is screwing with pricing that much.
@@bradybro1423 Hi Rrady, please note Dave got the Beginner package here which is $199, And we have the Dragon X8 Pro package $269.99 for Camo and $259.99 for Black. Hope this clarifies your concern.
@@SanlidaArchery link takes you to the bow that is $259.00 (black) he's showing the camo bow $199.00 and that one is $269.00 now. No where is there a "beginner package" on amazon, and the bow that is $199 on your site is out of stock. because your selling it for $269 with 12 arrows and charging $70 more in a 3 month time frame. Go back to selling it without the arrows for the $199.00, but you wont, because like I said your price gouging.
I got the dragon, 15 tears of recurve, moved to a compound bow, i love shooting a compound bow, but this bow comes with shit y equipment, stri f is fraying after 60 days, the rest is a plastic POS, mine is set to 70lbs, but isnt as fast as it should be. It Feels wxeak, guy soeed tested one only got 230 fps
That’s actually 20 FPS faster than they say in their specs. It’s likely because you have it maxed out. These bows are terrible. They’re no where near the quality of an entry level bow from an outdoor sports store. I hope you’re able to get a bow that will meet your expectations.
Audio cuts out when he talks about the release and the cheap rest..ran it three times, it's the video..not on your end!! It would help if you showed the parts you were actually talking about when the pics are ON the screen. You seem like your kind of new describing bows, but I'm sure you will get better over time. Good job!
Thanks. The audio doesn't cut out ... there just is no audio. I added that during the edit, because i wanted to say that after recording the video i did upgrade the arrow rest. And i thought i did show the parts that i was describing: Arrows 2:09 Sight 2:28 Cams 2:44 Wrist strap 3:10
I can recommend to never ask help on any archery sub*eddit. People there are toxic to noobs. I don't know who messed with their cereal, but they're awful there.
not sure. But out of the 2 i tested from Amazon, i liked this one better. And it was $200 for this no-brand version versus $400 for a name brand version
No such bow as a "Sandellan Dragon Ex Eight bow" at 0.06 time in the video...I think he means Sanlida. By the way I bought two of these (very hard to find now in 2022) bows - there are now several similar bows hitting the shores from China probably just as good if you compare the specs / Computer-aided designs / Quality materials and accurate construction. There are also cheaper ones using plastics - not magnesium risers and fiberglass or carbon-fiber limbs. Watch out. If you can get one of these, they're just as good as these shooting reviewers state.
Not with the arrows they give you or those field tips. You need broadheads. Those are going to be basic cheap target arrows, The kinetic force just isn’t there. Nothing about this bow is actually going to be hunting ready. You’ll need to sight you pins to accuracy. There’s another comment below where a gentleman said his string is fraying after 6 months. If your limbs aren’t tightened evenly your shots will be off. Your D loop and peep sight need to be adjusted for where you position your draw length. Those are already set on that string I wouldn’t trust that. This bow might be a decent tool to become familiar with bow setups but don’t feel that you should jump into a hunt with this. Please go to a bow shop for more details
I bought one just to try it as I lready have my hoyt torrex xt and this brand is garbage. Took it to my local archery shop and the only way to tune the x8 I received through paper was to have it sit knock low by almost an inch. And very slow. With cheap riser. DO NOT BUY THIS.
Really? I was trying a new (cheap) wireless microphone we got out of a bin. Maybe i'll start looking for a better one. I used to be able to plug a lav microphone into my phone audio jack, but my new phone doesn't have one.

Please dear god, if you do anything in your life, do not spend your hard earned money on this abomination or listen to archery advice from this individual. 😂
I think the bow is pretty good for someone just getting into bow hunting and not wanting to spend $1,000. It's a good first bow that has many of the modern features of a higher-end bow. This year I shot a deer on opening day with it: ibb.co/Fqc4vrG
@@DaveWirth that’s a great deer! But there are far safer and more quality ways for someone who doesn’t want to or simply can’t spend $1000 on a bow. Like light years ahead in terms of quality. Quality of experience, quality of consistency, quality of safety, quality of longevity. What you have here is a dangerous recipe for someone to be injured or frustrated and turn away from archery. Some very basic research will provide far more options.
@@markwarner.03 The last bow i owned was a Bear bow i got at Sports Authority in like 1998, for like $100? Middle one: ibb.co/wdqNKMT So this year when i thought it would be cool to try bow hunting again i tried shooting it. Then i saw how far modern bows and cams have come in terms of let-off, draw length, speed... So i wanted to buy a new bow, and was looking at the $400 Bear Cruzer G2. It looked really similar to this Sanlida bow, so i went with the cheaper one. Then i bought some cheap carbon arrows, like $35 for 12. If i keep hunting, ya, i'll probably get a better bow and better arrows. But for jumping back into bow hunting this was a cheap option. I realize it's kind of like tools. Buy the best quality tool you can afford. I've bought some cheap Harbor Freight tools that i hate using. But sometimes the cheap tools are fine if you only need to use them once or twice a year.
@@DaveWirth I understand completely, I really do. However that same $200 would have gotten you another bear on archery talks classified section. Lot of good folks on there and no exaggeration. It’s just perspective is all, most folks are similar, just getting into it or back into and just don’t know what they don’t know, not trying to be rude in any way!
It is a cheap Chinese bow. God only knows where they have reduced the quality? Did they mess with the metallurgy of the riser? Probably to make it cheaper. Will that make the riser flex more? Probably? Will that affect accuracy? Yea, most likely. Did they cheapen the axles, bearings and cams? Probably. Will the bow last as long as the ones properly made? Probably not. How are the limbs made? Will the limbs loose power over time due to poorer quality materials it is made from? Probably. I fully get that it is a cheaper bow, what is not clear is, where have they saved the money and how is this going to affect you down the track? Do they have their own version of the string? Probably. Are they using sub standard strands? Probably. Eventually this all adds up. Question is ... when will it bite you? Well, that bow is certainly not the Bowtec SB-1 or a Matthews Mission Craze, but it is comparable to them only in is adjustability. We know the quality of the SB-1, probably even the Misson Craze. In time, we will know the quality of the Sanlida. Honestly, ... i would not buy it. I don't know the quality of it. I dont know what they did to cheapen the bow so much to achieve that kind of price point. Can you pick up that bow after 10 years of shooting it, and will it still be good? The SB-1 is, and so is the Misson Craze. Lets see what happens. Time will tell.
That's quite a review for a bow you have never seen or used? I buy high end china made astronomical gear all the time. good stuff...Better than the American made stuff with inflated pricing due to having to bribe lazy workers to not stay home watching Netflix day.
I get your point. And don't necessarily dis-agree with you. But... Who's to say that the Bear or Mathews bows are made out of superior metal? Just because it's more expensive - your assuming it's better quality. Sure, there's a possibility that this is a cheaply made bow. But for me, just getting back into bow hunting, i didn't want to shell out $500 + for a bow, only to find out that i'm not that into shooting or hunting. However, it turns out that i have enjoyed it, and i've been shooting in my yard pretty at least a couple times a week. My next bow might be one of those brands you named. But after almost a year this $200 bow i bought on amazon has been great. No frayed strings, no issues with cams or risers or anything. So i don't think i will need to buy a new bow for many years.
@@DaveWirth I don't disagree that bows are way over priced, I paid $1400 with sales tax for a new bow this year. I have been in archery for over 25 years, shot martins, pse, mission, Mathews, bowtech, bear...... I can tell you there is a major difference from cheap to affordable to flagship bows. High end bows metal is machined out of solid metal, no casting. The metal types for professional bows are listed or readily available if someone wants to ask. IMHO cheap bows are like farm trucks, may need a few parts replaced, engine work but get the job done, but you are not taking a road trip with it, or you may not make it back.
Right... just like how a car mechanic charged me $500 for the EXACT SAME fuel pump on Amazon for $250. Who knows what "questionable quality" work I might have gotten had I not overpaid for that fuel pump. 🙄
This is the definitionof someone that underestimate any "cheap" product. This type of person never try one of this product. All they know is bashing "cheap" product and "trust" expensive product. This type of people is a ppl that control by the system and follow what demon said. Lel
