I shot one and didn't like the draw cycle as much as others. It is a shooter but IMHO there are some better options out there that shoot smoother and are more foregiving.

HOYT Katera 82.2# @28"
403gr. Easton ST Axis Nano@ 310fps
It is definately not the smoothest or the quietest bow. It is super fast if that is a concern to you.

I had two Hoyt Katera XL bows. I decided to sell one of them to get a X Force. After about 1 week with the X Force I'm selling the other Katera XL and buying a 2nd X Force. Yes, the draw is harder on the X Force. Other than the draw, I shoot it just as well and it's much faster. I'm glad I was willing to give the X Force a try.

I've shot the xf 6 alot (best friend has one)...I think it's a great bow...his xfis fast and quiet.... draw cycles on bi cams does take some getting used to...the xf's with longer brace heights should be easier to shoot. good luck on your bow choice
I've shot an X Force, and my Advice is if you are interested in a Speed bow. Shoot the offerings from all the companies you can get your hands on. That way you will know whatYOU like.
Some will say they like it, others will not. The main question is what feels best in your hands.
A few Models you might wantto try and shoot:
1. X Force
2. Hoyt Katera
3. BowTech Airborne 82
4. BowTech Allegiance
I just purchased a Dream Season about 3 weeks ago and I love it. To me it's draw cycle isn't a issue, but I wouldn't consider myself a very weak individual. I suited up in my coveralls and all the layers set on the floor with my feet out in front of me and drawed the bow several times without any strain at 70 pounds. It's quiet, fast and as Matt/TN said resale from when I was shopping was better than alot of the competitors bows that I was considering.
I shot it a while back. What I didn't like about it....was the "spongy" back wall. It's just foreign to what I've grown accustomed to.
GMMAT, you must be accustomed to a draw stop thatstops againstthe limb?
I've got a Katera XL with Z cams, it's draw stop comes to rest against the cable like the X Force,I don't consider either spongy (I had a Vulcan that was the same way).
I had a Bowtech Allegiance and a Mathews LX whose draw stops came to rest on the limb. I prefer the draw stop stopping on the limb, not the cable, but Ithink the X Force wall is solid.
