If you can honestly handle a 70# X-Force.... honestly now..... then why not shoot it. My experience is that most folks aren't totally honest with themselves and they want to shoot as fast as humanly possible... even if it isn't practical or realistic for them to do so.

Me personally, I'll never buy another 70# peak weight bow. 60# compounds being made today offer plenty of power with the right choice of arrow and broadhead to take out any animal in North America. The difference for me and most all of us on here with a few exceptions is that you can draw 60#s sitting on your hind end with your feet lifted 6" and your back straight while you'd be hard pressed to smoothly draw 70# standing up with loose/warm muscles. Having the ability to draw the bow under any conditions smoothly is critical in my opinion to successful hunting... if you cannot shoot.... then how are you going to kill a deer anyway? Ugly him to death?

Even that said, I'm not a huge fan of super stiff draw cycles. I still think the admiral is an awesome bow and I came within a heart beat of snatching one when I shot it for the first time. But the more I shoot different things, the more I think I like a smoother draw better. I'm not trying to take anything away from the Admiral, its the quietest bow I've ever shot, but it isn't for me I don't think. I just personally feel that I shoot a bow with a smoother/softer draw better.... and for shooting 100# deer at 15 yards here in VA... I don't need but so much.
