help please.
 
I am fixing to buy a new bow, I want tunability speed and a little forgivness.
I had it down to- shot all @ 29 and around 70# with a cx maxima 350
Reezen 6.5 liked it, I shot it rigged out and just with a rest. I personaly liked the draw cycle. The hand shock was bearable and once rigged out dident vibrate to much.
DXT- I thought the draw was smooth but seemed harder to get back in the begining of the cycle. Its a2a bothers me cuz I have a long draw, will it be real sensitive to torque? Otherwise sweet bow
Then the X-forces caught my eye........wow fast, and not bad shooters shot the old x-force and the GX.....but Ithink I wana go back to a single cam for tuning reasons
Whats yalls thoughts
Reezen
Dxt
X-force
by the way 6" and 6.5" bh dosent bother me at all

I would reccomend the DXT but then again I might be biased because thats the bow I shoot. I have shot the reezen and also the x-force. I thought the x-force had a pretty rough draw cycle, but its fast plenty fast. The reezen is fast too, i didnt like the back wall on it though, felt a little too loose but it was fast and I personally thought the hand shock was pretty tough. IMO the dxt is plenty fast for any hunting situation and has a smoother draw, and a smoother shot. I have a 29 in. draw lenth and have no problem with accuracy. Good luck with your search.

I really like the dxt but... With a longer draw, you will be more likely to cant the bow even worse than someone with a shorter DL. You would most likely be able to shoot the reezen better b/c of the extra stability in ATA. I love the DXT and wouldnt be afraid to buy one, but i believe the reezen would be more forgiving for you.

As far as the xforces go... If you are looking for a single cam, or steering that way, check out the bowmadness! They are awesome imho. I really like the one that i have shot (shot it numerous times) and it seems to be very consistant. AT a 5spot shoot last weekend, my partner shot his, which is the short model (29 or 30 i believe) and he shot a 291 with his hunting setup! THe bow will definately shoot, and its smooth as butter. The only thing that the BM needs imo is a decent stabilizer. Not for vibe. but for a little weight forward. Other than that, its a superb bow.

Sorry for reviewing a bow you didnt mention, just thought you might be interested...

I have shot the bow madness, matter of fact I have one set up for me @ work and sighted in so when someone wants me to shoot I wont look like a dummy and miss.....lol. I just randomly pick a bow for that from time to time.

I shot a reezen with the Harmonic Stabelizer on the bottom of the riser--- night and day, no more vibration, so mabey it might be a Reezen.....
I did dig the Alpa Max but just not my cup of tea, shot em both again today

well its not so much I dident like the Admiral, I just had so much problems with it. It started making a horrible ticking noise, had to serve cable 2 times and then the good cable busted....The bow was 3 weeks old!!!! and I got it back today after a month! The paper they sent with it said they "upgraded" the cams new bushings and bearings. Either way between that , the dealer, and BT cs, it has put a bad taste in my mouth.... Now I am not judging Bowtech or the Admiral, just the one I got. Having shot Bowtechs for 6 years I say they make some of the FINEST compound bows, but I wanna take a different course now, so tomorrow I will be the owner of a new bow, not sure what though. I just know I will not go back to the local Bowtech dealer, Ill pass him up and drive an hour to the next guy.

If you shot the Reezen without the new Harmonic Stabilizer in the bottom of the riser, you should definitely go back and shoot one with it in there. It feels like a completely different bow at the shot. I have shot Bowtechs for years and just this year bought a Reezen and love it.
