Sanlida Dragon X6 vs X7 vs X8 vs X9 vs Dragon 10

The Dragon X6 is built for young archers. At 2.6 lb with a 15 to 30 lb draw weight and a forgiving 7" brace height, it's light and easy to shoot. Draw length adjusts from 19" to 28" in one-inch steps as the archer grows.

The kit includes 12 arrows, a release aid and an arm guard for supervised target practice.

The Dragon X7 and Dragon X8 share the same idea: one bow that adjusts from 0 to 70 lb and across almost every draw length, with no bow press, sold as a complete ready-to-hunt package.

The X8 is the step up: it's 10 FPS faster (310 vs 300 FPS IBO) and lighter (3.8 vs 4.1 lb), and its package is the most complete in the line. It's the best-known Sanlida bow for a reason; see the Dragon X8 guide for the full kit list and what buyers say.

The Dragon X9 matches the X8 on speed (310 FPS), adjustment range and geometry, and is offered in black, Desert or Wilderness camo with Sanlida's intermediate hunting accessories. Choose it over the X8 if you want the camo options and the upgraded accessory package.

The Dragon 10 is a different class of bow. It's Sanlida's fastest at 340 FPS IBO, with a longer 33.5" axle-to-axle for stability, 80% let-off and a front bridge. Instead of a 0 to 70 lb range it uses fixed limb ranges (50-60 or 60-70 lb) and two cam sizes (27" to 30" or 30" to 32").

It's for experienced adult hunters who know their draw length. If you already own accessories, the Dragon 10 bare bow costs less than the kit.
