What is the difference between the two. Is one smoother to shoot\faster?

I went to the local shop to try and determine that also. After about an hour of shooting each side by side I told the shop owner that I could not find a reason to purchase the XL. He told me if I had a longer draw length I may want to consider the XL. I ended up ordering the Vectrix instead of the XL.

I shot both early this spring when I took a Saturday to go shoot the "latest greatest" bows. I thought they were both great bows, but I would give the nod to the XL. I felt it held a little better on target and was more dead in the hand. Which ever one you go with, you will have an excellent bow.
