RE: PSE X-Force 08's vs 09's
I've got the '08, but have shot the '09. The '09s have a higher letoff, and seem to be a bit smoother. I love my '08, and if you can pick one up for $600, do it. The '09s are a bit smoother, with a less aggressive draw profile...they have an actual 'valley' instead of an abrupt letoff, but shoot just as fast, just as quietly, with just as little shock. That being said, because of the customer service I've gotten from PSE, I'd buy something else. PSE is about the most expensive brand on the market now, but customer service has gotten short shrift. If service is important to you, you might want to consider something else. If only the bow is, I'm not sure there's a better one made than the PSE.
