I purchased a PSE Bow Madness back in January. I went into the shop wanting a Hoyt Turbohawk but after shooting the Turbohawk, I picked up the Bow Madness and after shooting the Madness I was sold. Like you mentioned it feels great in the hands and is super light, fast, and smooth. The Madness I purchased was on sale for $ 525 and I feel like I got a great deal. As far as the X-Force I can't tell you much in comparison to the Bow Madness, but I can tell you I love my Bow Madness and think it would be pretty hard to beat considering the quality and the price. In my opinion it is a great bow and is one I would recommend anybody who is in the market to at least test shoot.
