sanlidaHermit 10 ILF Hunting Recurve Bow Kit for Adults 60"-62" 30-55Lbs Archery Recurve Bow, CNC ILF Riser, Carbon & Graphite Foam Core ILF Limbs, RH Only, Limited Life-time Warranty

I don't write many reviews, so, for me to take the time to write this speaks volumes. First off, I am quite impressed with the customer service the seller's company provides. I was sent messages regarding the delivery of the product. Delivery was supposed to come between April 24-29 and I received it on the 18th. Way before I was expecting it. Now, onto the bow itself, I am quite impressed with the bow itself. Carbon foam limbs make this bow well worth the purchase. Although, the bow itself is quite noisy, it still does not take away from the performance. Limb silencers and the such can quiet her down I'm sure. Nice flemish twist string comes with this bow, usually I would have to buy a different string for a newly bought bow because some inexpensive bows come with crappy strings. But not this one. The glove fits good and probably useful but I normally like using finger tabs as I shoot 3 under. Armguard is all leather with bungee cord to hold onto your arm. I would most likely use it as a backup...I do like it actually. Also came with string silencers (haven't attached mine yet), a stringer and also the limbs and riser came in seperate pouches that are very well made and look, feel very durable. This bow is quite accurate, I was shooting like a champ this morning from 15 yards away. Reccomended??? 1000% YES!!!!

This bow is well worth 600-700 dollars, no joke. Just because it is Chinese does not mean a lack of quality. This is my first SANLIDA bow. I promise you it will not be my last. The paint, fit, and finish on the entire kit are unreal. This bow hits where you aim. The only thing I did was put a TTT string on it from Trevor at TTT archery. Did I need to change the string? No, I did not, it too was a d97 that is great quality. I just wanted a string to match my vanes. I will use the provided string for hunting this fall.Folks, do not sit on the fence on this one. The price may jump with tariff talks, Just pull the trigger and get one.I also have the Dragon x 8 compound. That is a crazy deal for a few hundred dollars. All of Salida's products are crazy good for the money. The bow alone is worth 3 times what they ask. I can't say enough about their customer service and the products they provide us middle-class folks who don't have a lot to spend on bows. No one else can touch this deal.

I've been in the archery game for over 30 plus years. This Sanlida Hermit X10 is an incredible deal. I bought this as a beater truck, bugout, hunting weapon. It was also to be a hunting backup to my 68lb custom Cascade recurve which cost me $1,895 and is no longer made. Well it became my competition bow as well as my first choice. Why? Well my Hermit with 45lb limbs shoots almost as fast as my 68lb custom bow. The Sanlida slings my 490grain arrows at over 200fps. It's very stable and quiet. I'm not sure who would give this bow a bad review except anti China folks. I've shot Hoyts, and yes some of their products are refined but not exemplary and not worth 4 times the cost. I found the Sanlida worthy enough to receive my camouflage treatment award.

This is an excellent recurve at any price point but especially $300. The quality is excellent, it is made with high end materials and components, and the performance is exceptional. I’m new to traditional archery but have handled a few different bows from $100 to $1000 and I think this is as good if not better than any of them. I wanted a quality bow to learn with thinking I would upgrade later but an upgrade is not needed. This is the only bow you’ll ever have to buy.

The bow arrived with a seal on the box that would show if the box had been opened. The seal was cut, leading me to believe that the bow was likely returned before. The bow looked nice and the limbs fit nicely to the riser. However, when I went to adjust the tiller, the locking screw for the limb bolt was damaged. The screw head was defective not allowing the hex key to fit, so the locking bolt could not be loosened or tightened. So you cannot adjust the tiller properly. Also, there is a loud rattle in the riser and the bow is very loud. Will be returning it.

Complete package. Well machined and bow draw weight correct. Only small issue was the tightness of the tolerances between the limbs and the ILF fittings. Bottom limb was a perfect fit tight, clicked in and out as expected. The top limb required a few attempts and some wiggling and force but ultimately it clicked. Removal of top limb is a bit of a chore but a bit easier then first time. Still a very good value for the $.Bow is very quiet and consistently accurate.

Sanlida hit a homerun with their ILF hunting rig. Smooth, fast, and easy to hit with, this came well packed and well made with a quick set up time. A bit louder than single piece recurves but those limbs are snappy quick and can be quieted down easily. Mine came without a manual but enough online support made this a nonissue.

The bow is different from the pictures; they’ve changed the handle, and now it’s smaller
