For th emoney the FX is a great bow. I got one when they first cam out and it works very good. I know use it as my backup bow but there is nothing wrong with it at all. it is a fast shooter & it will put the arrows where you aim. It does have a bit more shock than my Q2XL does but use a little heavier arrow or add a good stabilizer like the ECO or Tranquilizer and you are set. limbsavers do work a little on it too.
