I had an 07 X Force, and was very successful with it, however, I was not the most accurate or consistent with it. It was the 6 " brace that got me and it had lots of hand shock. The draw was ok, but it wasn't a forgiving bow for me. The 08 may be better with the 7" brace. I did kill lots of deer with it, which is the most important thing, but my confidence lacked when shooting. I sold the bow loaded with a dozen arrows for 825$, I paid 750$ for it bare.
