sanlida Dragon X7 Compound Bow Package, 0-70 Lbs

This bow is one of the most enjoyable purchases I’ve made in the last year. I am extremely happy with it. A few years back, I saw a random short video with someone shooting a compound bow. I thought it might be a fun hobby to get into so I started looking around at bow prices because I was curious at how much they cost. I was pretty disgusted when I found out the average compound bow set up costs around $1000. Once you get your bow, then add all of your attachments, then your release, then a set of arrows, you can very easily spend $1,000-2,000. I very quickly learned it was an expensive and somewhat elitist hobby and then I very quickly dismissed the idea of ever getting into archery.

A couple months ago I decided on a whim to check around Amazon again for something reasonable. Then I stumbled upon this X7 bow. It really seemed too good to be true. This bow came with all the bells and whistles plus a carrying case and a dozen arrows AND the price was 1/10th of what I thought I’d have to spend in order to get into archery. I was hesitant to buy it because at the time I think it had one review. Obviously, I ended up biting the bullet and purchasing it. And then I waited.

When it came in the mail I was giddy as a school girl when I opened it. It was beautiful. My very own compound bow. I “oohed” and “aaahhed” as I looked at all the parts and assembled the bow. I had an archery target I bought from WalMart in my living room. So I nocked an arrow into the bow, drew it back using my brand new wrist release, and I’ll be darned, I hit the bullseye of the target the first shot I took 😂. I fell in love with the process almost instantly.

Since then I’ve been learning proper form and trying to get the basics down. I keep the bow and the target in my car. I work in somewhat rural areas so when I have the time and space I’ll pull it out real quick and shoot a few arrows. It’s an extremely fun and peaceful hobby.

I’ve seen people online with bows worth more than my car say that any bow under $1,000 is a “budget bow” and more than likely trash. This is ridiculous. I’ve tuned this bow since I’ve gotten it to get the arrows flying straight and accurate. The way Sanlida makes their bows means you don’t have to take it to a shop and pay 100’s of dollars for them to tune it. You can do it yourself. You don’t even need a bow press. This is a huge plus for me. The thought of constantly taking a bow in to a shop to get it worked on and tuned is just not my cup of tea.

I’ve put probably at least 2,000 arrows through this bow and everything is as good as when I opened the box. The price is awesome and it allowed me to get into a fun hobby without breaking the bank. Im glad Sanlida is making a bow for people to get into archery that’s affordable for the common person.

Customer service is awesome. I asked if they were making replacement strings for the X7 in case I dropped my bow on accident or something similar and needed to replace them. They got back with me the same day and let me know they just put them on Amazon as well.

Overall if you’re in a similar position as I was I would highly recommend this being your first compound bow

Side note: for some reason this product is getting review bombed by people who seem to be getting paid to do so. At the time of me writing this there seems to be maybe 4 or 5 genuine reviews and the rest seem to be written by people who don’t even know what a compound bow is

I got this bow as a bow to mess around with. I have a few others already. One thing i will say is the bow shoots amazing and is a great bow for the price! The bow, sight, quiver, arrow puller, rest, stand, carry bag, release and the rest of the accessories to litterly go out and shoot.. BUT you have to have a little know how to be able to do that. The bow comes not put together so you get the enjoyment of learning how to do that yourself also, which is a good thing to know if your going to be shooting a bow. It is adjustable from 17″ to 30″ in 1/2″ incraments. But you wont get the full 70lbs unless your drawing 31 inches. At my 28.5 draw i only get 66.5 lbs draw. Another con is the arrows (12 prefletched with inserts nocks and 100gr feild points) that come with it arent stiff enough to shoot at over 35-40lb draw.
Anything higher will require some stiffer spine. All in all the dragon x7 is a good beginners bow for someone just getting into the sport! It is a “grow with you” type set up! 100% pleased with it i will be setting it up to suit my need as a backup bow to my pse evolve 30 for when i go on out of town hunting trips!
