I hunted with a cheap black hunter for a couple seasons. I put down whitetail, hogs and a black bear with it. Great bows for the price!

The reason they send you bows to try is because your a true honest ambassador for traditional archery. You are the best on utube for traditional archery.cant wait to meet you this weekend at the pre spring fling.much respect always jeff.

Thank you so much!

I swear by cheap made in China bows ... I have 8 of them the most expensive one being $120 and the others all between $60-$97 ... All of them except one are awesome bows. One is not that good, but it's okay for someone just starting out. Great video and God bless!

I have a lot of friends who are always asking me what is a good cheap bow to get started with in traditional archery. I have about 5 of the Chinese bows and they are all good choices depending on what style you like and want. I also have a small fortune in custom bows. Your videos and some others are great for giving me ideas to share with the folks that come to me with these questions and since you explain exactly how a person can improve on these bows and then prove by shooting them accurately how good they really are, it is proof. That's some good pudding!

I just purchased an Eagle X9.Thanks for this. I was looking at the black hunter.

I just got a Sanlida one piece recurve. Amazing value being offered by this company. Good video.

I just heard about that bow. It appears to be exactly the same as the SAS Maverick I just bought only $60 cheaper. The Maverick is fun to shoot so I’m sure the Sanlida is.

I have that same bow , been shooting the arrows and string that came with it . Will definitely change string and arrow set up . Thanks for the video . Gives me more confidence in mine . I have been impressed with it . Still not a good as my Bear

Thank you sir for the great video. I was looking at this for a nice starter set to introduce my wife and daughters to traditional shooting, and this looks like a good deal. I like that it doesn't have all the bells and whistles for attachments, just a nice shelf to shoot from. I'm thinking of going with the 30lb as a nice weight for both them and me. Again, thanks for taking the time to make this video and God bless.

Absolutely! I think you’ll be very happy with one especially for the price!😁

Jeff I really appreciate all of the lightweight setups your doing. I have a 64” spyderxl 35# limbs 30.5 draw length I’ve just started shooting, I know 28” is the most common draw length but If u ever have time to show an arrow set up and bare shaft with someone with a longer draw length, that would be great. Ur awesome keep it up. God bless

Im not a rich man so i have to go for no more than 150. My Samick sage is a wonderful bow, but my next purchase wont be recurve, i would love a long bow. But im very tempted on this as youre the second archer who has recommended this bow. God bless 🙏

Just got in from shooting my new carbon limbs and saw your video up. That sure is quite a bargain at 100 smacks. Gotta tell ya though, I am soiling myself over my new setup too. Smooth, no hint of stack at my 30 1/2 draw, quiet, quick,absolutely no after shot vibrations. Tomorrow I will set up better, brace heights,tiller for my split finger draw,nock height and adjust center shot. Not quite in your price range though , Hoyt Integra limbs on a Hoyt Arcos riser. Literally busted nocks off tonight. This is going to be fun. Shooting barebow style.

Another great video, I've always said that you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars for a custom bow to enjoy archery. I own several import bows and am in love with all of them, I make new B55 Flemish strings for them and they are a delight to own and shoot.

Hello Jeff I’m new to your channel and I really enjoy all the info and tips you give out. This is not really related to this video but have you found foam core limbs for recurves and longbows to be slower than maple or bamboo cores? I do a lot of tinkering with trad stuff and I am not impressed with the foam core limb even with carbon instead of fiberglass. Thanks again Bob!

I've been pretty impressed by their Royal 8, 1 piece, 60" recurve. As you said for the money they are pretty hard to beat.

Hello Jeff I know you get bombarded with questions but I used to shoot compound but quit several years ago and wanted to get back to old school basics with recurve bow. My wife bought the Sanlida Eagle you are reviewing above I wanted to take your advice and trick out the recurve with a good string and some good arrows before I try to zero this bow. But I don't understand the AMO for string size. The bow is a 58 inch so do I get a 58 inch string. Also were can I get the TTT D97 string you talk about. I am a amateur trying to start something new thanks for any help. Danny

Okay on recurves you want to order a string typically 3.5” -4” less than the AMO however all sanlida bows run a tad longer than specified so you will want around a 54 1/2” -55” string for it, you can let Trevor know what bow you’ve got and he’ll know what you need!
