Bowyers Review Sanlida Archery 60" Royal X8 Traditional Recurve 

Well they're spoiled rotten. They live in the shop so they get lots of pets

Same here, shooting a 500 spine with 125 grain tip. Shoots great

Thanks for watching!

@@127TROOP thanks Steve!

Will do! Thank you!

No brace height can never affect draw weight or tiller that much

If anything that would weaken it.

They aren't, but we've got a couple left if ya want. Nik made em. I'll ask him if he wants to sell ya one or give ya one. Thanks so much for watching! It's so inspiring to us to hear it's making someone's archery journey more enjoyable!

He's got close to 20 available. You can message him on Facebook. The name of his page is Nik Branstine bows or email me your contact info at greatplainstradtionalbows@gmail.com and I'll have him contact you

@greatplainsbow Thank you very much. I'm definitely going to buy one. Love your channel and bows. Wish my shoulders would still allow me to shoot trad.

That's actually our next review

We reviewing these budget bows can you please look at what happens to them when you have a long draw. This can be a challenge for us gorilla's as the budget bows tend to stack pretty quickly. The Black Hunter has this issue when you hit 30" or higher draw.

@@petergold4823 we'll add that for sure to the next review

@@robertlipsey6056 probably around $225

@@greatplainsbow one for me might require a little more work. I would like the poundage to be between 25-30 pounds. Do you think that’s possible? Thanks for getting back to me.

I would not need the limb tips reinforced.

Well if it's a D97 string there will be failures on that bow. Solid wood tips. No reinforcement

@@greatplainsbow Ok.

@@robburnside6636 send it back immediately

There will be (9) reworked 3 piece longbows for sale in a couple days

But it's supposed to come with a D97 string... no?

Excellent question! Nik is the one reworking and selling them here at GP. I discussed that with him yesterday. He hasn't completely decided which route he's gonna take, but one thought he mentioned is to offer to do the rework for free on a warranty so the customer would just pay the price on Amazon and then he'd do the rework free of charge. How do you feel about that option? What are your thoughts on the warranty of them?

@@greatplainsbow thats awesome you guys are thinkin about that. Just based on my thinking about how things are these days with sue happy people I wondered how that may effect the liability issues. Because you cant control the QC of the glue ups, the glass or riser mfg and end up putting hands on another companies product by reworking it I believe that leaves the liability in your hands. Im all for reworking these things as many need it badly and Ive done quite a few myself but I had a guy ask me if it breaks who is responsible to replace and I didnt have a legit answer so it made me question whether or not I should be doing it putting myself in the position of being liable, not just for replacement but if the person was injured then how will that play out. Just lookin out for you guys as it was something that was on my mind after the last one I did.

Thanks! I really appreciate that! It is definitely a risk a person takes for sure, but the reward is that we're putting bows in people's hands that are properly tuned and backed by customer support so they can have an excellent first experience. Idk it's an interesting conversation. Definitely pros and cons here

@@greatplainsbow I agree 100%... definitely something to keep in the back of the mind...

Most likely it is

Yep bow is probably that. I have a model of bow from a company OLEINE where model is a 1:1 scale down of a Super Grizzly if was 45 inches only due to a 24 inch draw I am geting 35--37 pounds on a 45 pound model. Brand used to have a right and left hand bows on Amazon.

Yeah i'm left handed to

​@@jerrypoling3106 Left eye dominate right handed I got OEELINES Airobow 54 inch (54 inch clone of a Bear Super Grizzly) I use with a safer Flemish twist sring as bow came with an unreached endless loop B-55 but I only get with a 24 inch draw a 37 pound on a 45 pound bow. I would have needed a 55/60 pound of same bow to get 45 pounds and model only stopes at 50 pounds. So I found Youth Longbow from Great Plains Archery in hickory and is an amazing bow. Only thing I would have done different I would have asked for Osage or seen if heavy G4/G10 was an available option so I could have a heavier bow, I may have to use an AMS mounting device and some riser weights on bow for more stability.

I'd be interested in buying one of these refurbished by you guys. Will there be a catalog or would would it be a custom order?

Can't wait 👍🎯

@@str8sh2ter that's an excellent question. In theory and probably also in action it would reduce the stacking, but it would make the limb unstable and likely cause a failure. The performance of a bow is determined in the limb profile by the bowyer when the bow is glued up. After it is in it's final shape you must remove material evenly along the entire length of the limb or it will compromise the bow

@@greatplainsbow Great answer. I was thinking along those lines but wasn't sure. Thank you very much.

Either one of those would be excellent choices. My favorite of those two is the x8 recurve, but Nik's favorite is the pmz longbow. Both excellent choices. Guess it'll come down to personal opinion.

Never heard of that. Does it work pretty good?

@@stevecriswell2838 it's just not really necessary

@@greatplainsbow it add a pound on my scale,you guys build greatnbows

Okie dokie
