I havn't shot the X Force, I am judging by specs. 33" a.t.a., 6" brace height, and a IBO speed of 342-350 f.p.s. On paper it just screams that it isn't going to be a super forgiving bow. Heck, here is a direct quote from PSE's website about this bow... " The new HF “Hybrid Fast” cam system has an oversized design to increase power stroke and an aggressive draw force curve for maximum energy storage." I have shot the Drenaline, my buddy just got his two weeks ago, and it is a very nice bow and the design and specs lead me to believe that it would be a much more forgiving bow.
