FF, yeah, my sig tells the story. I would be shooting a lot faster if I shot a smaller arrow, but I like lots of weight. My draw length gives me a huge advantage too in teh speed category. The X-Force is a decent bow, but you better be good friends with your orthopedist before you shoot it. The ones I've shot (both the 6 and the 7) had a really nasty draw cycle. They are definitely the fastest out there now for a hunting rig. The Iron Mace is faster, but that is with their speed pro arrows, which I don't like for hunting because of the light weights on them.
