I shot the X-Force Friday and I wasn't much on it. Unlike Rick I did feel quite a bit of vibration in my hand when I released the arrow. I also didn't like the draw cycle one bit. But if it's speed you want this thing has plenty of it.
I question if the bow you shot was in tune then. The one I shot really had very little to no hand shock, comparable to any of the high end parallel limb bows on the market now and that is the one thing I specifically remember because I wasn't expecting it. I was expecting it to be a tuning fork/rattle trap.I was shooting the bow at 5 grains per pound as well. The bow I shot didn't have a stabilizer either, just a rest and sight on it.
