Is this bow new or used? The reason I ask is that all hortons bows now come with a "Talon" trigger that has a real light triger pull. When I bought my super max 175 it was one of the few that had a trigger upgrade on it and not all had it as awshucks said, but all have it now. Also I think the XT was last years model because this years models are HD. You could have an "old/new" stock and not have the new trigger. But stilll my old supper mag never pulled "hard" in my book. If you think it is pulling to hard take it back and use it a negotiation with the dealer.
