I am just wanting to see if any one else thinks that this is a little bit rigged.[8D]Still interesting. *Disclaimer- i am not bashing PSE in any way.

I find it a little hard to believe to.I never listen to what the manufacrurers claim any ways its always going to be biased and whenever you try and duplicate test they will claim circumstances were not the same as how they tested.I dont know how many times I tried to duplicate claimed IBO speeds and they were never the same without lots of tweaking.

I haven't heard much of anything good about the X-Force.

Of course it's rigged. They take their fastest bow and put them up against other companies bows.......... but not those companies fastest bows from the same production year.

They make no mention about how steep (ie... hard)the draw force curve is, about how incredibly short the valley is (don't creep even 1/4 inch), or the fact that despite what they claim you will likely get wrist slap from the string.

Anyone can get 350 fps out of a bow today if they put enough prestress in the limbs, design a hard drawing, no valley speed cam, and shorten the brace height to 6 inches.

Just look at the 82nd airborne. It will achieve 345 fps but still has a much easier drawing cam system and a bit more valley even though it has a short 6-1/8" brace height which is resolved with the string stop.

I have shot the X-Force and the Drenalin and Im torn between them. I havent had a chance to shoot the Vetrix yet. Being a long time PSE Consumer I have to say I like the X-Force, but I also like the Drenalin as well. I shot both bows both set at 60lbs and using the same arrow 30 inch draw and 100 gr head. Ill be 100% honest. I didnt notice much of a speed change between the two. The X Force through the radar shot only 6fps faster than the Drenalin. If I were to buy a new bow for hunting and had to chose between the two....I think Id honestly go with the Drenalin for hunting. But when it comes to warranty and such, Id have to go with the PSE. I knwo combine the two and youll have the best bow on the face of the earth, the Drenalin- Force.

I can tell you this, I have an X Force, bought brand new this year, I have killed 9 deer with it, all clean Pass throughs. It's fast 309 fps @ 26" draw @ 70 lbs. It's light, easy to handle and compact. I will say that it is not very forgiving b/c of the 6" brace ht. However, if you practice enough it will beok. I shot at 9 deer this year with the bow and killed 9 deer with it. Id say it is pretty darn good bow. Ps. the KE is awesome as well.

The video is a joke. First, they didn't say anything about the tune of the bow. If the PSE is set-up and tuned perfectly while the others arent, there will be a drop in performance. Also, from what I could see in the "penetration" test, the PSE was shooting a arrow without any fletching while the others seemed to be fletched. I also enjoy the "accuracy" test
