Frequently asked questions
Is Sanlida Archery Canada an official Sanlida dealer?
Yes. Sanlida Archery Canada is the official Canadian distributor of Sanlida Archery. Every bow, arrow and accessory we sell is genuine Sanlida, priced in Canadian dollars and supported here in Canada.
Who makes Sanlida bows?
Sanlida Archery, founded in 1998. Sanlida designs, manufactures and tests its own compound bows, recurve bows, carbon arrows and accessories in a 50,000 m² manufacturing base, which is how it keeps prices accessible.
Which Sanlida compound bow should I buy?
For a young or new archer, the Dragon X6 youth bow. For a first hunting bow, the Dragon X7 or the popular Dragon X8 pro package. The Dragon X9 is the intermediate step up, and the Dragon 10 is Sanlida's flagship hunting compound at 340 FPS IBO. For target archery, choose the Hero 10 in 37" or 40".
Which Sanlida recurve bow is best for a beginner?
The Noble takedown recurve. It comes as a complete kit in lengths from 48" to 70": shorter bows for young archers, longer bows for adults with a longer draw. Limbs come in several draw weights, so start light and move up as your form improves.
What does IBO speed mean?
IBO is a standard speed test: a 70 lb draw weight, 30" draw length and a 350-grain arrow. It lets you compare bows fairly. Your real arrow speed depends on your own draw weight, draw length and arrow weight.
Which arrow spine do I need?
Spine is the arrow's stiffness; a lower number is stiffer. Heavier draw weights and longer draw lengths need stiffer arrows. Sanlida Dragon arrows come in spines from 250 to 500, and the spine options are listed on each arrow's product page. If you're unsure, email us your bow, draw weight and draw length and we'll recommend one.
Can I adjust the draw length and draw weight on a Sanlida compound bow?
Yes. Sanlida compound packages adjust across a wide range of draw lengths and draw weights. The exact range for each bow is in its specifications.
How much is shipping, and do you ship outside Canada?
