Well, if it shoots well with the lower brace height, and a 60# X-Force will smoke my hunting arrows along 10-20 fps FASTER than my older hunting bow would set at 64-65#, what's not to like? If it shoots well (there's the disclaimer) I can have considerably faster hunting arrows while pulling less poundage. I like that idea.

I took the plunge. I have a 60# on order. Test shooting it impressed me that much. And I've been looking for a new hunting bow all spring- test shooting the new Bowtechs, Dartons, Hoyts, Ross, etc. This X-Force really impressed me.

I have my concerns about the incredible amount of limb preload, but we'll see how things work with time. From the test shooting I did, the bow did NOT perform like any other bow with a short brace height.

Don't know how true it is, but one PSE rep was mentioning that the forward string travel on the shot is quite minimized by the limbs almost going TOWARD the archer because of how bent they are. He said there are some 7+" brace height bows out there where the string will travel forward more towards the wrist than this X-Force with a 6" brace.

After test shooting a 29" bow that was WAY long for me, and the string never even ticked my arm- I might have to give that idea some merit. I'd love to see some slowmo video of it in action. The 60# draw was not bad at all. I can see where a 70# version might be a bit rough, especially after a few hours of sitting in a cold treestand. But I expected the draw to be much harsher for a bow that has this much speed.

So I would imagine in a couple of weeks I'll have one to play with. I'll post some test speeds and impressions then.
