sanlidaDragon X9 Ready to Hunt Compound Bow Package for Adults, Archery Compound Bow and Arrow Set, 0-70 Lbs Draw Weight, No Bow Press Needed, Limited Life-time Warranty

Overall this is a very nice bow. With all the accessories that are included it's really a good buy.Pros: Great riser, good limbs with dampeners, decent sight, D-loop installed and nicely set-up, very easy to adjust Draw length and draw weight without bow-press.Cons: Arrows are weird and don't work with the included arrow rest. The 4" fletching jams into the rest. On the positive side the support center for Sanlida immediately responded and sent me 12 new arrows with shorter vanes (3") and they moved the vanes 1/2" closer to the nock. Great service! I was still able to use the 4" vanes by flipping the rest to the front of the riser.I had to modify the rest: the brushes were way to close to each other and had to be ground off on a belt sander, now the arrows glide nicely past the rest. I don't use the quiver, arm sling, the stand and I use my own palm-release. All in all the bow is well built and a good value.

Design is good. It feel strong. Easy to assemble all the components. Pip sight kind of goes away and don’t stay straight (bad). Comes with a manual. Good compound bow to start. Don’t know exactly if much better than DrsgonX8 for the increase in price.

The bow itself is great, it comes with everything ready to hunt. It is designed to be used for hunting despite can also be a great option target shooters.Pros:1. High quality bow, comes with the string attached so you don't need a bow press and contains all the basic attachments to use2. Easy to tune, comes with a manual and there is many videos in YouTube to teach you how to tune. The only hard part is adjusting the draw length. Explained later. Most part you can tune and adjust your bow by your own easily after some tutorial other than peep sight that you may need a bow press and don't have issues with being not serviceable as you can do everything yourself other than peep sight that is serviceable.3. Very affordable and very high value that is significantly cheaper compared to other brands products at similar quality4. Nice appearance5. Very smooth releaseCons:1. Arrows are not good, I suggest to get new ones as many user have experienced problems with it.2. In rare cases user reported problems with the manufacturing defects. I didn't experience that.3. The attachment are mid-low quality. If really need to improve accuracy you may need to upgrade them (mainly for experts, if you are beginner or intermediate shooting less than a year I suggest you focus more about improving on human errors rather than upgrading accessories). Since using the accessories that it comes with is still perfectly fine unless you are competing or an professional in target shooting, etc. Remember if you are competing, make sure to choose fixed pin because it don't comes with adjustable sight, stabilizers, and magnifiers like an target shooting compound does, unless you have upgraded the attached accessories.5. Some people might find hard to adjust the draw length. Compared to other bows is still much better but there are still room for improvements. To adjust the draw length you have to loosen the back screw of the cam, then unscrew and change the screw position based on numbered indicator to adjust your draw weight and screw it.6. There are pink coloring on screws not sure what those are after shooting for few days. But for now, it still works perfectly fine. (Probably it is corrosion since I leave it overnight at a very humid environment)

I was truly excited to get my hands on the Ready to Hunt Compound Bow Package, hoping it would elevate my archery game. However, my experience with this product has been nothing short of disappointing. From the moment I unboxed it, I noticed that the quality felt cheap and not at all what I expected for the price. The bow itself seemed flimsy, and after just a few test shots, I quickly realized that it lacked the accuracy and precision I was hoping for. As an avid archer, I understand that consistency is key, and this bow simply didn’t deliver. It left me frustrated and questioning my choice to invest in this package.Moreover, the included accessories felt like an afterthought. The sight was poorly calibrated from the start, making it incredibly difficult to hit the target even at close range. The arrow rest also seemed poorly constructed; I experienced constant issues with my arrows bouncing off instead of smoothly launching into flight. These problems not only impacted my performance but made me dread going out to practice. In the end, I found myself regretting my purchase and felt let down by a product that promised so much. I hoped for a reliable, ready-to-hunt setup, but instead, I got a bow that’s collecting dust in my garage. If you're serious about archery, I recommend looking elsewhere for quality and performance.

I come from the traditional recurve bare bow world and, for years, didn't think I would get a compound bow. Until I saw a slew of YouTube videos on the Dragon X8 and now the X9. I decided to see what all the hoopla was about and pulled the trigger. The bow is amazing and easy to tune. I like the ability to have a bow that can go from 20 lbs to 70 lbs of pull weight with the mods on the cams. It's well-balanced and has a smooth draw with great let-off. The net weight is decent. Probably could shave off a few oz.'s in future models. Decent accessories, but you'll probably upgrade if you get into the sport. I did get the one with the arrows that can't work with a whisker biscuit, but a drop-away works! They sent me the new Dragon 9 arrows to replace the ones I have, and they have updated the arrow vane placement and size. They went from a 4" to a 3" vane and the long vanes were placed higher on the shaft. For less than $300 you can't go wrong.
