   I am 5/10 220 and the 55# was very hard to shoot I recommend if your my size or smaller to get 35#. They are beautifully constructed and are very powerful.

   This is the third Sanlida bow I have purchased and the quality if first rate. I will say that this one did have quite a bit of positive tiller at 3/8″ but it is still within factory specs and still shoots well. I did reach out to Sanlida customer service regarding the tiller and the bowstring not having a large enough loop on one end to slide down the limb. They responded quickly and even sent me not one but two new strings right away! The accessories that come with it are decent but I have replaced the arrows with a better quality. If you are looking to purchase a new bow I don’t think you can go wrong with a Sanlida bow.

   Bow came with a 1/2 inch positive tiller – ie, the top limb is bent 1/2 inch more than the bottom limb at brace (ie, top limb is weaker). This is clearly seen in the pics: Top limb is 7 5/16… bottom is 6 13/16. Standard is even to 1/8 inch. 1/4 at the extreme. That means, to tune the bow, the nock point will have to be much lower than normal to compensate for the weakness in the top limb. For instance, I shoot three under. On a neutral (even) tillered bow, my nock point will be 5/8″ above the rest. That’s pretty standard. On this bow, it’s only 1/16th above. That means, if you shoot split finger, your nock point will have to be BELOW the rest. So, if you buy this bow, CHECK the tiller! Or you will NEVER get it to tune. Honestly, the bow isn’t super consistent… and some of that is due to the extreme light weight. But I don’t have much confidence in it because I have no idea what that weak limb is doing at full draw. And it isn’t user error. I bought the bow 9 mos ago, shot it a couple times, unstrung it and laid it on its side on the rack cuz it was hunting season. I finally got around to tuning it last month, and that was when I noticed the weak limb, and decided to leave a review. Edit: Seller contacted me to attempt to ‘make this right’ and while they wouldn’t process a return, since it is well outside the 1 month return ‘window,’ they DID give me a 53 dollar rebate. AND… they didn’t have to do that, so 3 stars instead of 2 (as im still stuck with a bow I probably wont ever hunt with). Edit: Since I was stuck with a bow I couldn’t shoot, I fixed the tiller by sanding the sides of the lower limb (evenly on each side) between the fade and the recurve. Probably removed a 1/16th of an inch of material on each side. Now the tiller is 1/8th inch positive and the bow is tuned with the nock point 1/2 inch above the rest (for 3 under). Pulls 42# at 27 inch. So, lost some weight. BUT it shoots well now.

   I love this bow. The craftsmanship is way better than I expected at this price. It feels solid, shoots smoothly, and looks great. If you’re after a well-made traditional bow without breaking the bank, this one delivers.

   Excellent bow ..for the price it will keep up with the more expensive recurve bows out there…comes with everything you need to get started in archery

   Received a different bow for Christmas and fell in love with shooting. It was a #25 and I wanted a #40 to grow into while I build up my shooting muscles. Watched sooo many youtube reviews of bows, even bought a black hunter that I didn’t like and returned (a lot of hand vibration… I probably got a dud, oh well). Came across a few reviews of the Sanlida Royal X8 and they were all very positive. Decided to give it a shot and was very happy with my purchase. Yes, I’m very new at archery, but if you’re like me and just getting into the sport, this a great bow. Looks really nice, build quality is excellent, and comes with everything but a target and a nocking point to get you started. The bag is especially great, not like amazing quality, but having a travel bag is awesome. Arrows are a little heavy, but the fletchings are feathers and shoot good enough to get you started. A little off-gassing from the arm guard, but I already had one and put this one aside as a spare. But the bow, wow the bow is awesome. Looks and shoots great. The string definitely stretches a bit at first. I’ve shot about 400 arrows with it and it’s now staying at the brace height I set. I recommend using the includes string silencers, but that’s up to your personal preference. What are you waiting for? Get one for yourself!

   Received this bow (40# draw weight) in excellent condition, in undamaged packaging. Have shot about 20 arrows thus far. Accurate, no hand shock. Finish, riser, limb tips, and string grooves appear to be well made. Only adverse comments are the Flemish twist string is not usable and appears poorly made, and the arrows are a bit too long (32″) for me but, would be good for an archer with that length of draw. I would strongly recommend this bow and accoutrements for a new archer, someone returning to archery after a few years hiatus, and an experienced archer. Perhaps Sanlida will consider including a B-55 bowstring in future products.

   I own 5 bows including recurve, take down, and horse bows, 3 new over the past 2 months as my experience and archery abilities improve, and the Royal X8 Hunting One-piece Bow at 35 draw is the best I have ever shot. The package included much more than I needed (arrows, arm guard, etc.) but the price for what you get in the bows performance is incredible. The comfort to the hand, smooth draw and accuracy is beyond compare for this price range and beyond.
