Royal X8 Longbow Set by Sanlida Archery - Review

[@ReaperofGames42069]

I bought mine after both yours and NUSensei’s reviews and I really enjoy my new 40lb longbow

[@frankbarbagallo9399]

I ordered a 35#. Can’t wait to try it out! Thanks for the review

[@abaawaate]

Just bought the 50lb longbow. Absolutely love it. Such a light bow in hand, smooth draw to my 29.5" draw length. Slower than my recurve but still packs a punch with the arrows provided. Deadly quiet with paracord silencers at 5&6 harmonics of string. Need little more practice to be accurate coming from a recurve. Absolutely zero hand shock. 10/10 for the money.

[@BillieBoyd-ng2qv]

Mine are # 35 and # 40 . After custom d 97 on 35 and custom b 55 ( endless) string they really came alive! I recommend TTT strings .

[@Curie_ELiTE]

This look like a great bow as well. It looked so smooth! Thx for the review. I got the Osprey Hunting Recurve (short 58 incher) and the Dragon X8. Both amazing bows and equally amazing prices like this one. I see a great future for this bow company.

[@richartist40]

Spoke to Sanlida and they will have a left-handed version out by years end which might be interesting for thumb and Slavic shooters .It might take a few minutes to sand the handle a little to take the edge down to make it comfortable for the left hand to hold the grip instead of the right ..

[@johnschmalbach8243]

Its now $129.99! I am fighting the temptation to get thisnas well to keep my wife happy lol

[@UTxTheArchangel]

Definitely an impressive offer. 150 for all that comes with it, is very nice and easily attractive. The bow and arrows don't look overly cheap, so when comparing to another combo package, can't think of many that can beat what it offers by the look of it. Great review as always

[@kennethhollenbeck7107]

This bow looks just like my longbow, custom made $600.00 in 1986, mine is 56#. and I would rather have a 35# since my injury, so I'm going to order this bow in just a few minutes.

[@greeneyesfromohio4103]

A year later, how are you like this bow?

[@127TROOP]

Just starting out with longbow…..(I actually shoot target compound with a Hoyt Invicta ) but I tried clout very recently with a club bow and love it…..this looks perfect for that and some fun 3D too……I don’t want to spend expensive for what I want to do and this looks perfect! Excellent review….thank you 🤙

[@gizmonomono]

That's a seriously impressive package for 150 dollars. Well done Sanlida!

[@danieffendi5556]

I'd love for you to release some 3 finger archery tutorials as well! I love your style of teaching from the thumb draw videos. Big fan of your channel 🙌🏼

[@suunraze]

I sometimes like to shoot American-style 20th-century longbows like this (when i visit with friends who have them). I always simply shoot them left-handed, Slavic release, so that I can use the left side of the cutout and expanding release/khatra. It works great and feels natural

[@suunraze]

My father-in-law even built me a nice longbow in similar style, with a cutout like that. I shoot it left-handed; it works great for me but drives him crazy

[@RayBlanco74]

Thanks for the review. Just got mine today. First bow. Time to learn.

[@ambidextrousarchery]

What a great deal! Super review, Armin. Perhaps Sanlida will develop an ambidextrous set 🤞. Best wishes and happy shooting. 🙇🏻‍♂️👍🏹📷

[@paulmc6940]

Wow, the more you unpacked the more the price went up in my mind but I was way off. The price I had reached would get 3 bow sets, amazing. 👍🙏

[@Geraldowashere]

I kept waiting to hear something negative about this inexpensive bow...but wow, a great review and a beautiful bow. Always wanted to try a long bow!

[@ZephrusPrime]

I picked one of these up on Amazon just after you reviewed it. I must say it's a nice bow but the hand shock is just unreal. I have a 31" draw and I never had a bow that was this long stack so hard at 29". I think this bow is better suited for beginners.

[@worldtraveler8372]

I thought it was me. It does stack hard at 29" which has me anchoring at front of my chin.

[@worldtraveler8372]

I took the bait and ordered. My first longbow!

[@austinalexander1148]

Great bows review -love from virginia usa

[@BillieBoyd-ng2qv]

I have paracord on # 35 , carbon 700 sp , 150 gr .# 40 beaver fur, 600 gr 125 gr .Both 7.5 bh and lm 28 pull.

[@ColetteNoir]

A most impressive kit, I've a weakness for longbows. Sadly they seem not fo do left-handed bows Great review as ever!!

[@LogicJab]

This bow is also sold as the SAS Pioneer iirc

[@RuffsTV]

Looks exactly the same as my old Bucktrail Blackhawk (the newer Blackhawks have a different grip profile) If that's the case, hand shock with anything less than 10gpp will be insane. Apart from the terrible hand shock, with string silencers and 10gpp arrows it is SILENT. Very accurate too. I've had it for 10 years and it's been fine. Quite slow, however. I've got a custom fast flight string on the way to see if I can improve it. The standard string is now 10 years old and showing no real signs of wear (waxed regularly).

[@lubossoltes321]

Impressive package for the price. And it looks good. The only remaining question is the longevity ...

[@easterneagle5]

I wish this came in a left handed version. It's a perfect package of a ton of things I want - even the cheaper arrows and armguard would be welcome for giving my non-archer friends some gear to use that I won't care about them breaking, for when they want to try out archery when visiting. But I shoot with my left hand, and it only comes right handed. I hope a left handed version becomes available soon - I'd pick it up right away.

[@ArminHirmer]

Beginning of next year left hand version

[@johnrhodes3350]

Maybe your friends are right-handed

[@laurentmeiller5171]

Sanlida is a good olympic bow factory (sanlida, kinetic), most for beginners and intermediate archers when i owned a Falco Legend (same category) the efficient weight was 8,5 gpp to 10gpp so, i think 10 gpp with 100 gr tips (spine 700) is ready for 35#

[@dougeldredge]

is it cut past center?

[@adryan056]

I have the 45 lbs. Gonna shoot it today just because of your video. Very nice bow. P.s. I paid 40euro (GE) just for the bow.

[@danielruprecht8932]

Seems like a steal👍🎯

[@stuartmackay9270]

Great review, I'll be checking out their goods. Edit, oh dear only RH.....

[@Iraya]

Check out the SAS Pioneer 68"(Southland Archery Supply). I have it, 40lbs, left handed. It looks identical to this, which makes me think this is a rebrand of the SAS Pioneer.

[@YoMamashouse770]

I ordered a #40

[@damnu8089]

i have a few sandila and alot of sandila 300sp. 0.001 to 500 spine arrows ,

[@salvarsaani]

Their lightest bow is 30lbs. What is your take on starting archery with that draw weight?

[@Woodenarrows]

The bows tiller looks off to me. Can't see the full profile but when you first shot the bow (at 14:30 timeline) the upper limb looks stiff while the lower limb is bending nicely...

[@SirPraiseSun]

the loud glass shatter made me mental

[@dermotshaw5722]

It's a nice bow for the price. I was just on their website, I don't know if its not mobile friendly or not but it wasn't user friendly at all

[@dermotshaw5722]

Ah I got the website working, had to search directly through Google app, following the link wouldn't work for me. That's a great price for that package

[@stevenparsons4464]

I am ordering one of these sets. You mentioned a lighter weight arrow for faster limb speed and less shock. What arrow weight would that be after the original arrow set is worn out?

[@ArminHirmer]

10gpp would be safe to use for sure (I might go a little less though hehe)

[@tomfisher47]

I ordered one at 50 lbs just getting in to trad.

[@theezZENtials]

do you shoot at apples?

[@ArminHirmer]

nope I eat them :D

[@suunraze]

I think the affiliate link is broken.

[@ianbruce6515]

If they are marketing to the North American bow hunting community--the heavy arrows might be appropriate. Love the accuracy.

[@bernatbabcsan8248]

So strange, that i have a Végh turkish 60lbs and i use like 7.8 grain per pound they go like 200 210fps and i alsó use a 65 kovács magyar 2 with 10 grain per pound somwhre in the 180 190 but for that i pull30 soits 30" 72lbs with 650 gr arrows and in diffferent materials one has more penetration other materiális the other

[@dougeldredge]

129 dollars on amazon tonight 10 /18/23

[@marcusfridh8489]

The only thing missing is s quiver

[@SirPraiseSun]

oof very nice looking bow, slick.

[@UncleDanBand64]

What a bargain.

[@yerde]

your camera focuses more and more poorly with each video.

[@ArminHirmer]

yeah I know, need to buy new one, but KZbin does not pay much anymore. Not enough subs and watch time.....

[@geoffn1530]

Not good bow. To slow and to noisy
