The Sanlida Dragon X8 is the most talk about bow on youtube channel. I think this bow sold the most in the market due to its price. Its good value for money. Before I bought mine I reffered to many reviews about it on youtube. What I like about this bow is the smooth draw but what I am not comfortable with is the grip which over time I got use to it. I find your review most informative. I once forgot to put on the arrow and hence dry fired it. Fortunately the bowstring did not dislodge. Thank you Sean for your most informative video.

Twisting and untwisting the yokes is dependent on which way the cables are twisted. Most string makers make their strings and cables with a right twist. I make my strings and cables with a left twist for reasons I won't go into. You better check which way the cables and yokes are twisted before putting on or taking off twists. Also if you put right twists on the yokes of a left twist cable, you're going to see the both yokes start twisting around each other.
@seansoutdoors4 жыл бұрын
You can call all string makers and bow makers in the United States and they will tell you that they make their strings twisting clockwise to add twist. You are an individual who makes your own strings and for your own reasons twist them counter clockwise, but you are right that bows that are not made in the United States could come twisted counterclockwise instead of clockwise and it is good to check.
@l.i.archer5379 Жыл бұрын
@@seansoutdoors here's the thing, I've seen PSEs come from the factory with a left twist on their strings. Currently, America's Best Bowstrings come with a left twist. I've been making mine with a left twist for almost 8 years now, and here's why - when you wind center serving on a bow with a right twist, you're going to wind that serving so those twists tighten up as the serving goes on - in the opposite direction of the string twist. This serving will naturally clock your arrows to the left as it leaves the bowstring. With a left twist string, the serving goes on in the opposite way, clocking your arrows naturally to the right as it leaves the bowstring. Most arrows sold at shops have right helical or offset on the vanes. The first 6 feet of flight off the string, you can see the arrow starting to clock left and then "correct" itself to start spinning right, thus fighting the natural rotation of the arrow. Check out this video by Lancaster Archery and jump to the 2 minute mark: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mZ5ljZma2LLMpYU.html

Arrows are rated for draw weight so get an arrow rated for the draw weight you intend to use. 50 to 60 pounds is usually around a 400 spike. 60 to 70 will be more like 300 spine. I like Easton and gold tip arrow brands. Go on their website and they have selection guides telling you what spine.arrow.thwy recommend for your type of draw weight and cam. God bless Sean

Hello Sean. I realize this is an older video now, but we bought my son the dragon x8. He's been growing into it and his draw length has increased a lot. We've adjusted the length multiple times without issue. On this latest adjustment he shot several arrows, and then when he shot the arrow didn't move and the bow dry fired. I thought for sure that he didn't nock the arrow right until it happened again. I watched him nock the arrows and this happened about 4 times before we stopped shooting suspecting a bow issue. Have you ever heard of an issue like this? Sometimes the arrow shot fine, other times the arrow stayed like a dry fire. Thanks.

Wow you should never ever draw a bow back without an arrow on it and let go. That's called dry firing a bow and as you experienced it can ruin a bow. You need to loosen the limb bolts out far enough to put the strings back on and tighten the limb bolts back up. Only tighten two full turns on one side at a time.

I'm struggling to understand why the rest is fitted to the "inside" of the bow. Would it not add more stability to the arrow as it is released to mount it on the side furthest from the string?
@seansoutdoors4 ай бұрын
The arrow rest is bolted on the opposite side of the riser from where the arrow is shot off of the shelf for clearance reasons.
@BarefootBeekeeper4 ай бұрын
Sorry, I didn't explain myself well. The pin sight is positioned as far forward as the bow will allow, as that gives the maximum distance between the peep sight and the pin sight, which increases accuracy. So why is the rest not also fitted to the front of the riser, furthest away from the archer, so that the arrow is supported nearer to the tip?
@seansoutdoors4 ай бұрын
Because the arrows would have to be even longer, and some people have a draw length so long that the arrow would be too long. Additionally, the longer the arrow is, the more it will flex in the shot process. When shooting with a mechanical release, the arrow bends straight down in the shot process. If the rest was that far forward, the arrow could flex into the shelf of the riser and prevent you from getting good arrow flight. God bless you.

Pretty much any drop away rest will do the job. I have a QAD Ultrarest HDX on mine and it works well. I have a Limbdriver V-pro on my other Sanlida bow. Limb Diver rests tend to be more reliable after a few years of use. Maybe look into the Limbdriver V-pro as an option. It is one of the less expensive limb driven rests. For a sight, I have been using trophy ridge sights for the past five years. Some of them have had the level fall out because the manufacturer wasn't putting strong enough glue in them, but they have mailed out replacement levels each time it happened. I especially like the sights that have three pins but the bottom pin can adjust out to 100 yards. While I mainly only shoot to 40 yards, it is nice to have that feature. Hope that helps. God bless you.

If you're having vertical nock travel issues try loosening one limb bolt a half turn, reset the draw stop timing and try again. If your having trouble with the draw stop timing, put a half twist in only one side of the yoke a d check the timing again etc.

Sean I bought a dragon x8 and I didn’t get an instruction manual. Do you think I could just take the bow to a good bow shop and they could tune it for me? I don’t know how to adjust draw weight.
@seansoutdoors3 жыл бұрын
There is a download owners manual on the Sanlida website. You turn the limb bolts to adjust weight but you should probably take it to a bow shop to let them do it if you are not sure. It's a standard double cam bow so any pro shop should be able to work on it.

I have this bow, it is great so far. But I made a stupid mistake an killed the string (it is still on, but it is not safe to use) Do you know what is the actual string length? The bow and manual say 58.13". Not a valid AMO length. Should I just get a 58" (AMO 62?) or do I need it custom made?
@seansoutdoors3 жыл бұрын
It is actually .125 rounded up and .125 is 1/8th inch. Do get a string 58 an 1/8 inches long.

Sean, if I were to buy a bowmaster press to adjust this bow, would the standard limb bracket be correct or the wide? Thanks
@seansoutdoors3 жыл бұрын
I'm not at home right now. When I get home I could measure the width and let you know what it is and you can compare that with the measurements of the bowmaster. Also, if you needed to, you can loosen the limb bolts so far on this that the strings and cables pop right off so you could technically work on it even if you didn't have a press.

What bow is better to get the dragon x8 or the bear cruzer g2?
@seansoutdoors Жыл бұрын
I personally think the Dragon X8 has advantages. There is one draw mod to go through all the different draw lengths, and it is metal not plastic. The bear cruzer G2 is a plastic draw mod, and you have to take it off and put a different one on every time you want to change a draw length by a half inch, which gets to be a bit of a pain. Those details give the edge to the dragon x8. Most of the other components are very comparable. Both use a double yoke system, etc.

Ok thank you. I'm new to archery a ND want to get into hunting with a bow. Would this be a good bow to start with? Also would I be able to take bow the x8 to a bow shop to get tuned? Because I know that bear is a U.S. brand. And many archery shops carry them. But the x8 does come out on top due to that it comes with what you need to get started. Thank you

They are similar but with this one being so much less of a cost there are a lot of people who will probably pick this one over the SB1. I personally can't shoot an SB 1 because it doesn't go to my draw length whereas this one does so that detail along with the price savings I'd personally get one of these if I was looking to buy a bow for myself.

Also, if the string came off without being dry fired then check the amount of cam lean the bow has before shooting it again. If one or both cams are leaning, remove lean by adding twist to the yoke on the side that the cam is closest to one of the yokes. This means you look at the side of the cam that is between the two yokes attached to the limbs. Add twist (twist it counter clockwise to add twist to Sanlida strings and cables) to the yoke that the cam is closest to.
