The Sanlida Dragon 10 is a budget-friendly hunting bow that doesn't compromise on features and quality, making it an excellent choice for those seeking affordability without sacrificing performance. Here's my review of this impressive bow. The Dragon 10 arrives ready for customization and truly excels in performance. Using a bow press, I easily added my peep sight and installed a drop-away arrow rest and 5-pin sight. Adjusting the draw length was a breeze with the rotating modules on the cams, this adjustment does not need a bow press. In no time, the bow was set up and ready for action. With the hybrid cam system, the draw force quickly builds up, maintaining a high level until reaching the let-off valley. This provides a significant amount of let-off (75-80%) with a nice solid back wall thanks to the limb stops. When firing with a trigger release, I noticed the absence of hand shock or vibration, resulting in a dead-in-the-hand feel. The bow's impressive quietness can be attributed to the vibration dampening on the limbs and riser, as well as the incorporation of speed nocks on the bowstring, reducing oscillations and enhancing arrow speed. During my range sessions, I consistently achieved tight arrow groupings, showcasing the bow’s accuracy and precision. This bow offers exceptional value with its billet aluminum machined riser and limb pockets, typically found in much higher-priced bows. Additional features, such as the protective serving at the bowstring stop and the serving on the control and bus cables passing through the cable guard equipped with roller bearing guides, add to its overall quality. It’s impressive to find such feature-rich components at an affordable price. This affordability allowed me to invest in better accessories, including a high-quality sight and a reliable drop-away arrow rest, which enhanced the bow’s performance and my ability to consistently place arrows exactly where I desired. In conclusion, the Sanlida Dragon 10 is a versatile and powerful hunting bow that offers exceptional performance and value. Its design, build quality, speed, and accuracy make it stand out within its price range. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced archer, the Dragon 10 provides a reliable and enjoyable shooting experience. Sanlida has undoubtedly succeeded in delivering a bow that exceeds expectations without breaking the bank.

Draw stops were missing from bow- no product manual came with bow. I believe this has been used before. You can see where the draw stops where previously by the marks of the cams. This bow is fully drawn back and over rotated, lucky it didn’t blow up in the shooters hands but the bow is overdrawn and locked out creating a very dangerous situation.

This is not a beginners bow. If you are looking for your first bow, I would HIGHLY recommend the Dragon x8. It is beginner friendly and also is a spectacular bow at a spectacular price. The Dragon 10 is a total success! SANLIDA really knocked it out of the park again! The hybrid cams are much more aggressive in the power stroke. This increases the weight and the time the arrow is in acceleration. This is what establishes the arrows speed. This comes at a price, and that is you are drawing more weight through the full draw cycle. The limb stops provide a solid back wall. The valley is short, but that is adjustable by relaxing the limb stops 1/2 a step. Don't adjust this too far, or you might over rotate the cams and they will not return. This is a dangerous condition with any bow. The Dragon 10 is not a light weight bow, mine weighs in at 6 pounds complete with sight, rest & stabilizer. That being said it's not uncomfortable or out of balance. Actually the weight is very well placed and I find it is far more steady than my other bows of 4-5 pounds. The fit and finish is top notch and the customer service is excellent! Sanlida is very easy to work with and they are very helpful. One of my cables had a blemish in the serving and they sent me a new full set of cables and string immediately. Thank you Evelyn! The Dragon 10 is a very capable hunting bow. It is compatible with all of the modern bow hunting accessories and even has mounting locations for the 2 piece quiver systems. It also has a dedicated mounting location for limb driven drop away rests. The riser has inset dampeners top and bottom. Details like these are usually only found on bows starting at twice the price. This bow is a solid contender, at an unbeatable price! If you are hunting large game, this bow will serve you well at a price that leaves room for accessories and arrows!

Shot it a few times seemed great until… it quite literally blew apart. Either cam was not quality controlled or cable. I tried to reach out for a replacement. No response

I was an experienced recurve archer and used sanlida equipment for my recurve training. This brand left me a good image for their very competitive price point and no "that shall do" attitude towards even the entry level recurve limbs. Then I wanted to tried out compound. My friend told me to just go directly into midium-to-high grade so I can save a lot in the long run. I was about to choose dragon x8, but then I see this beauty, and I have to get it. Sanlida has done it again. I would say this is the best value you can get for a compound below 500 USD. The build quality is amazing, surface finish is spotless, and the weight is just right. Those are my first impressions. I am new to compound so I will not embarrass myself for speaking something I don't know. Luckily my friend is a competition compound archer. I will assemble this bow under this help and update my review. Update on 12/16/2023 The ultimate target / hunting combine bow! I kept splitting arrows with this bow at 25 meters. Granted I put on the long stabilizer rod from my recurve kit, and a target compound bow sight, but the bow itself is super consistent. The picture speaks for itself.
