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'm new to archery and I purchased this bow totally on a whim. I figured for the price it was worth a try. The set comes with a good assortment of gear for the new archer and what you see in the picture is what you get. Once you get past stringing the bow it's mainly just a learning process.The only item not included is nock points for the string. I ordered some brass crimp on type. I wasn't sure how to install the string silencers so I was forced to unstring the bow, install the silencers and re-string it.Some reviews state that the included string is low quality, but I found it was okay for getting started. I have since replaced that string with a D97 string which is a little quieter. The bow shoots great, especially at 20 yards. I wouldn't recommend trying to take down game at 50 yards, but at 20 it's solid. I don't think the bow is too loud, but some reviews complain about the noise. It has a bit of a thwump when you let the arrow fly.I opted for some different arrows --not because these were low quality-- but rather they were hard to find when they go sailing out through the woods. I would recommend getting a different quiver and the wrist guard is uncomfortable. The glove fits great and believe me you will need it.My main advice to anyone looking to use this product is be patient and get familiar with it before you give up and say this bow doesn't work. Recurve bow shooting is an art. I'm not an expert, but I am much better than I was when I started. For the cost you cannot go wrong with this product. I highly recommend it.

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.

This Sanlida X9 is my first modern recurve/takedown bow. It is easy to assemble out of the box and use of the stringer becomes second nature after a few outings. My bows are low poundage due to shoulder issues these days but this bow cranks out pretty good velocity. Two silencers are included but one seems mTore than adequate though I've read comments about Sanlida bows being a little loud? The arrows included are not great even with some tuning, good shooting glove and the arm guard is a little small but effective. The quiver made by Sanlida is cool but mine seems to be made for a left handed shooter? All that said, great bow from the riser to the draw. I would add that your range time will be more productive using stiffer spined arrows, Traditional Only and Top Archery hit dead center off the string of a Sanlida, one of the best takedown recurves for the $$.

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.

SanLida makes good bows. This one in particular comes with everything that’s needed. Arrows, arm guard, finger glove. It’s solid wood, nice design. The color is not my favorite but it’s ok. Bolts are limbs leveled, something that I like. Good bow for not much money.

Set up was not perfectly clear but the product works well and has held up. Great starter bow kit.

This bow was easy to set up, the weight was great and I love the feel of it. It’s a sure bet for beginners. Even my kids pick it up and want to use it. I think the design grabs people’s attention and makes them want to get into archery. A solid pick for a first time bow.

Excellent great bow
