NC, I believe what you are saying, I changed some things to try and settle this beast down some. The X force is a quality bow, but the 6" brace is a beast. It will hurt your feelings!! I had to take the kisser off, no, it blew off like so many others have. don't know what the hell that is all about?? I will try to concentrate more, I mean Im not exactly all over the target, I off by maybe 3" at the most or worse case cenerio at 20-25 yds. I don't shoot past that distance, surely Im not confident enoigh to do that, nor will I shoot a deer past 25 yds.
