IMO the X-Force you shot was out of tune. Neither of my X-Force had any hand shock.
I shot the 82nd about a month ago and I thought I was shooting the HCA Z-Force. Without a smoother draw. Plenty fast, terrible draw cycle.

Me neither, Dan....but when I was shooting a mathews....and shot the Allegiance....I saw I could give up NOTHING....and pick up the extra speed as a side-effect.
NO BRAINER.

I always tell everyone to shoot them all and then decide what's best for you. Bows from Bowtech will sell themselves
I know that from packing a bag target around and a couple of bows. I always love the look I generally get after letting someone shoot my bow
You're Right Jeff! Shooting Bowtech is a No Brainer

In all honesty. The past 8yrs, it would have to be Bowtech.
BUT!
I honestly think these new Elites are going to be a big hit. All of you guys that are currently shooting Bowtechs, I would love to see you pick up the new GTO and shoot it. You couldn't convince me that the GTO draw cycle, was a draw cycle on a 350fps bow. 350fps, with a 7" Brace Height!! That alone is impresssive. The Xtreme XL they make, is an 8" Brace, 36" ATAand 320-330 ibo [:-]. That's impressive.
I can see Ross strating to take over the single cam market once they get a good solid production year under them. If this year goes smoothly, I could see a big design for next year.

But can it be said that the "shoot through riser" is not innovation? Shoot throughs have come and gone but never really took off.
Some of the innovations are the ETI and the teflon coated cams, not to mention the Deliverance "shoot through riser" bow they introduced at the ATA show.
True it has been around for some time, but you could say the same about cams, or limbs, or whatever. The innovation could be said to lay with how a company can take an existing idea and improve upon it and make it work better. From what I understand from many folks that attended, the ATA show was pretty dull, but this particular bow was the buzz.

As far as the speeds go, yes, they are impressive, but they also aren't anything earth shattering either. The 101st has a 7-1/4" brace height and will spit out 340 f.p.s. The numbers are high, but alot of companies are catching up to those speeds now!

I agree, with the bold statement, Bowtech along with a few others continue to do that. I read quite a few highlights from the ATA show, on this site and others from several attendies from across the industry, your mention of said bow is the very first post I've read on that bow. The "buzz" was Bowtechs 08 line and especially the up and coming Octane accessories.

Not from all of what I read and pictures I've seen over on another site. The Bowtech booth was packed consistantly while others, crickets played...LOL
