i haven't shot the hc, but my buddy has the 07 x force, we didn't have any issues paper tuning it. i thought it shot really well. only negative i would say about it, is the tuff draw cycle...but we got used to it after a short while. i really like that bow. i plan on buying a new bow in the next three months, my choices are down to : x force, elite gto, martin pro series fire cat, bowtech 82nd and the high country. i plan on shooting all of them to make a decision. but over all paper specs... i'm leaning toward martin and elite. low weight, high speed, short ata and good brace height. hope this was helpful
