The Sanlida Hermit X10 ILF limbs - Speed testing the Carbon limbs

[@peterjuulsgaard]

The Sanlida Hermit X10 limbs shoots 183 fps. with 10 gpp at 28" of drawlenght. At 27" of drawlenght it shoots 175 fps. with 10,5 gpp.

[@old2470]

Very decent speed. Take out 5-7fps when shooting with fingers and the limbs are there with the others in the $200-300 price range.

[@peterjuulsgaard]

That’s correct

[@ThirdLawPair]

@@old2470 Are you talking about entire bow setups in the $200-300 range, or just limbs in that range?

Your welcome

Another Great Review ! I watched your reviews on the Sanlida Royal X8 recurve and longbow and ordered one of each , couldn't be More Satisfied with Both ! Just ordered a set of these ILF limbs ! I have 5 ILF risers . Keep the Great Video Reviews Coming ! I'll be Spending More Money , LOL ! Stay Safe & Healthy ! God Bless !

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Thats great. Good luck with the bows. Thanks for watching

[@josephtreadlightly5686]

I'm really glad u did this test Peter that u would usually find on equipment that isn't traditional. I have a micro arrow tune last year which was 490 grains with my 29.5 " draw. It turned our perfect whether it was fletched or bare shaft. Reading an animals body & being above them in a 🌳 is much more important than speed. The longer they r in your vicinity & relaxed the better your odds r.😮😅🎉

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Yes thats true

[@mattsteed8015]

Very informative. Thank you for sharing and making these videos. I see guys posting the speed of their bows all the time. I bought a Chronograph and I have never been able to achieve the speeds that some people say they are getting. I have shot about every high end bow you can think of through the Chronograph and they are all within 5-7 fps from each other. Same with bow strings, maybe 1-3 fps difference, if that. Thanks Peter for the great videos. Be safe

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Thank you for watching. I have the same experience

[@jharchery4117]

Always a great presentation. Thank you.

[@labtrainer09]

Another excellent session, Peter. Thank you. Like you, I'm a bowhunter, and I'm not hung up on speed. But I'd say a 47-lb. recurve that hits 183 fps with arrows weighing 470 grains is damned fast! Given how enthusiastic other reviewers are about the characteristics of the draw cycle in the Sanlida Hermit X10 complete bow (limbs AND riser), I'd love to see you shoot it and hear what you think-especially about the bow's reported smoothness, quietness, and lack of stacking. These qualities ARE important to me (and many other bowhunters), and having you confirm or deny their presence in the Hermit would mean a lot because of your experience and objectivity. Best, Chris (Maine, USA)

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Well I dont have the complete bow. Only the limbs. My impression of the limbs is that there is alot quality for the money. And they are not particularly louder than other limbs in same quality. Thanks for watching

[@labtrainer09]

I'm certain that Sanlida would be glad to send you the riser and D97 string that they normally include in the Hermit X10 kit. Just a thought.

[@pathfinder5804]

Jeff Phillips has a review of the whole package but he doesn’t crono it. I believe there’s a couple others on the whole package too.

I got my Sanlida Hermit X10 two days ago. Tuning and shooting. 45 pound model. The limb bolts with the backup bolts loosened won't move in or out! Had 6 ILFs never had a problem.

[@peterjuulsgaard]

They are a little tricky. The set screw is in the middle of the bolt, and loosen the opposite direction on the X8

[@glennbayley5863]

Thank you peter brilliant video

[@budcat2]

Cool experiment. Question. Can you use an old bow string for your rope? Less stretching. Plus you have a loop vs knot that might slip. Thanks for your content.

[@peterjuulsgaard]

I’m not sure what you mean, but on this bow I’m using a fast flight non stretch material. And you can always use older materials like dacron on this bow also

[@toddgammons9400]

I have them on a Elite Flex Riser set in the 19 in. Configuration. Shoots really accurately. Better than Sanlida 19 but heavy.

They are great limbs

[@johnp1839]

Great video. Where is a good place to order the X10 limbs in the USA?

[@peterjuulsgaard]

You can use the link below the video to buy a complete set for 299$ including riser. If you only want the limbs alone you need to go Amazon or Aliexpress

[@garrettrichards7370]

Did you by chance put these limbs on the 13” riser you have and test the poundage and speed? I have the same limbs on 13” VPA riser and think I’m around 52lbs and unknown speed. Great video though and subscribed!

[@peterjuulsgaard]

I have had it on the VPA and it also ended up in the low 50’s yes. As I recall it was around 180 fps with 10 gpp. Thanks for watching and the sub

[@frankhanzlicek6550]

Vielen Dank für diesen Beitrag! Im 3D benutze ich nicht so schwere Pfeile. 320 gn für einen 40# Bogen. Also 150 gn weniger. Es wäre interessant zu erfahren wie sich dies auf das Verhältnis: Geschwindigkeit zu Durchschlagskraft verhält!?

[@peterjuulsgaard]

I’m a hunter who hunts game in all sizes around the world and I find that arrows from 500 to 600 grain arrows to be all round for that. Thanks for watching

[@chrisbowman2030]

Considering you're using a Flemish string with four silencers in it, 183 fps is pretty good for 10 gpp. My more expensive Uukha limbs deliver 185 fps with that draw length and arrow weight.

[@peterjuulsgaard]

The machine is also better releasing the string. Our fingers are not fast enough. If you shoot yours with fingers, you could maybe gain a couple feet in a machine

[@chrisbowman2030]

​@@peterjuulsgaard Good point! Now i have to build me a machine myself and test that, damn it. 😂

[@bradlauber9097]

Looks like a junxing riser to me re branded for sanlida

[@peterjuulsgaard]

The riser is not from Sanlida. It’s called Big Rock Archery. It could be Junxing who made it

[@SeanJorgenson-vy8nw]

He didn't get the riser with the limbs. Your right it is a junxing

[@alexyatsyuk70]

Peter, what do you mean the rght distance btw the nock and the feather? how do you measure it?

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Thats because I’m using the feather to nose technique. (Using the feather as clicker) in this video I’m talking about it Feather to Nose Technique - Where to place the feathers?? - Traditional archery tips kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGmWe3aNiKyqsLM

[@alexyatsyuk70]

@@peterjuulsgaard does It mean you use a feather to nose as aiming technique?

[@peterjuulsgaard]

I use it as a trigger for the release. So I’m expanding slowly until the feather is touching the nose. A constant slow movement. When the feather hits the nose the release goes. So you have the unknown release. It have nothing to do with the aim. The brain takes care of the aiming by it self. The technique is to prevent target panic creeping in on you

[@alexyatsyuk70]

@@peterjuulsgaard i see. Another question: how would you compare the performance of the sanlida hermit limbs VS bosen 3k limbs?

[@peterjuulsgaard]

The performance is approx the same with these Hermit Carbon as with the Bosen LCS longbow limbs. I dont know about Bosen 3K

[@bradlauber9097]

I see its the x10 limbs and not a sanlida riser, my mistake

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Exactly

[@bradlauber9097]

Your next pheasant and deer set-up!!!!!😊

[@peterjuulsgaard]

It could have been. But my recurve license is ending this spring. So my hand is forced to the longbow. I renewed the longbow last spring and have that license 4 years more. So 1-2 years in I’m gonna renew the recurve. That way they are not running out on top of each other

[@fabienlarcher4552]

You put the silencers always in the same place?

[@peterjuulsgaard]

If the bow is tillered for splitfinger, I place the low limbsaver a little further out on the limb. Say around one inch further out than the one on top limb

[@SeanJorgenson-vy8nw]

They should be more weight on a shorter riser.

[@peterjuulsgaard]

There is! The limbs are 45 at a 19” riser. They scale 47,5 on this 17” riser

[@ThirdLawPair]

Why did you test these limbs on a different riser rather than the riser they come with?

[@peterjuulsgaard]

Simply because I only bought the limbs, without the riser

[@ThirdLawPair]

@@peterjuulsgaard On the Sanlida website, I can't find any options to buy just the limbs. I would be very interested to find the limbs only for sale since Sanlida doesn't make any left-handed risers.

speed and weight of arrow is everything ,if you hunt , that the reason you use a compound bow , and when youre up to 250 - 300 fps , were talking

Hi Peter, your hunting skills are so good. Could you kindly teach us fast shooting? Shoot 3 arrows in 3 seconds? Please consider this scenario: When you are hunting on the ground, a grizzly bear starts to attack you twenty yards away from you. It pounces on you quickly, and you only have three seconds to shoot three arrows to kill it. Can you teach us how to accomplish this task?

[@peterjuulsgaard]

I’m not the guy you are looking for

[@uncleremus5046]

Pete teaches a controlled shot thru the execution of back tension. He doesn’t shoot uncontrolled shots or mt quivers in 3 seconds.
