Default X-force , good bow ???

I've been lookin in to getting a new bow this year and there are a few that i like , but the X-force looks a nice bow ... Trouble is i don't know much about this bow , apart from being pretty damn powerful ( i've seen the clips on youtube ) .
Is it as good as they say or are there much better bows out their for the same or slightly less money ? .

My Merlin ain't camo'd up , so i'd like a bow with camo now .

i also looked and shot the bow, I really like the x-force but i couldnt stand to switch from my hoyt, Very Nice bow but it is really stiff while drawing and makes it seem like your drawing more weight than most other bows. Alot of people really like them. They are really fast!

I get the feeling that if it ain't a Bowtech or Hoyt , it ain't mentioned much on HNI . For what is reviewed as a great bow (X-Force ) , nobody seems to say much aboutthem .I was after maybe a bigger responce before buying , to back up what i read on huntingfriend .
Thanks Buttermilk , HNTR and Stevezt4

I have not seen or held one so I can't comment on them other than to say that speed bows are not my cup of tea.

I was shooting next to a guy at the shop today that was shooting an x-force that he had set up for 3D competitions. Man that thing burys arrows in the target. He seems to like it, it all determines what you like in a bow.

I have an xforce7, not the speed bow the 6 is but fast none the less. Quiet, smooth on the draw, does have minimal hand shock, but is still easy to shoot. Good hunting bow.

The X force is a great bow. I got the X force in Aug, 6 " brace height, and I shoot 73 lbs at a 26" draw, @ 309 fps! It is fast and compact, handles well, not forgiving , but shooting a lot helps, great warranty and the bow is well made.
