Sanlida Eagle X9 New 58" RTH Standard Recurve Bow and Arrow Set for Adults and Hunters, Wooden Takedown Recurve Bow Package for Outdoor and Practice 25-60 Lbs

I am a beginner, I've had the bow less than a month and have only shot it less than a dozen times. I honestly spent more time prepping the target/backstop and reading about shooting a bow than actually shooting the bow. :) If you practice everything you are told; T-Form, Anchor point, raise the rear-elbow, follow through on the pull, repeat with consistency and you'll be pleasantly surprised like I was. That's a 5-shot group with one flyer, all at a quarter-sized target from 25 ft. The bow is great, the arrows are great, the kit it comes are great, the price is also great! This is also just shooting without aiming, but instead practicing Instinctive Shooting with a split-finger pull back! I keep my eye on the target, slowly take a breathe as I pull and once I come to full draw at the end of my breath, I keep slightly pulling "pull-pull-pull" until the arrow just leaves my fingers and continue pulling back and the arrows all hit where I was looking. The target was big, so I switched to a smaller target and actually got a tighter group, aim small miss small. Fun, light-weight, very quality and durable as well and the performance in such a short amount of time seem unmatched! It also looks great, like a work of art!

Totally impressed. I'm 60yo and haven't shot in about 25 years. Received mine and immediately impressed with the riser's beauty and craftsmanship. As an average guy, I chose the 40# pull, which was perfect. If you are muscle-bound, go for the 45-55#. Couch taters should start way lower. It's not that any won't work, it's that you cant get optimal pull and accuracy without choosing the right limbs. Very easy to assemble. Stringing and silencer installation is fairly easy, but you likely will need to look up video instructions. (DO NOT try to wing it!) It comes with a stringer. Hit a bullseye from 30 yards on first firing. Only thing is lack of documentation, but that's easily available online.

Amazing bow, solid quality and extremely durable.

This bow is a great bargain. The arrows are decent. The archer's glove is decent. The arm guard is meh. The finish of the bow is outstanding. The string is okay. The one single issue I have with the bow is the draw weight. I purchased a 40-pound bow. It should be 40 pounds at 28 inches and at my draw length of 29, perhaps 42 pounds. The bow felt very stiff, and compared to an old 1969 Bear Kodiak Magnum that is 45 @28, the Bear feels lighter. So I scaled them both. The Bear is 44# @ 28 inches, the Sanlida is 47# @ 28 inches. Like the Black Hunter bows, the Sanlida QC is asleep at the wheel. I have shoulder issues and wanted a 40# bow. I already have bows that are 50# and 55#, and wanted something lighter. I was planning on investing in a Royal X8 @ 30 pounds, but might have to rethink that, as I have no idea if it will be heavy or light or as advertised. The Eagle X9 is a sweet bow, but someone needs to be watching the finished product better before sending them out.

I am so pleased with this bow! It's easy to handle, string easy to put on, nice accessories that come with it - definitely great purchase for the price! Good target accuracy and seems very sturdy and good quality. Would most definitely buy again!

Very pleased with the ease of assembly and the power and accuracy. For someone just looking to do some archery casually for fun, I feel like this was an excellent purchase. It's only been a couple of weeks, so we shall see if my opinion changes over time, but if there are future problems, I will update the review.

Vary good

Not packaged well. Arrow fletching damaged. String will need some work. Not the quality i was expecting. Will get it together. Tuned up and repair arrows and tune them. And see if its a keeper or not.
