got transferred to indianapolis in 2003 but my heart is still there.

My girlfriends dadSTILL hunts with an XI, not sure of the model. He and his brother used to shoot nothing but XI, and he still has 4 or 5 of them. My uncle just passed away this past spring, and he was hunting with an XI the last few years. He hunted traditional for most of the time thatI can remember, but I think he got it dirt cheap and it shot decent. His was an XI Silver Hawk.

xi was a pretty reputable brand in the midwest in it"s time... sorry to hear about your uncle.

I still have and shoot my XI XRG LEGEND, never had a complaint with the old girl!

RE: xi archery
 

Legend XRG was a pretty good bow and I still have a couple. I prefer the upgrade to the Legacy and have used it to harvest my best deer. Haven't been able to find any good places to hunt since I moved North in 03 but still looking.

I used an XI Demon up 'til 3 years ago.

Around 42" ata. Dinky round wheels.Had a beat up cobra sight and a Huntmaster 2000 rest on it. No peep or anything like that. I think I was getting around 175-180 fps with it.

I still have it hanging on my wall. It was a toughol' bow and Ikilled a bunch of stuff with it. My '06 bowtech is in a whole different class tho'.



(note that classy Bowtech quiver on there. :D)

RE: xi archery
 

Demon must have been after my time there- I left in Jan. 96. I haven't kept up with the industry as to what's available now but I have a few bows that I made up while I was there that I haven't even shot. I got to take home 1 a year to test and shoot so I'm pretty set for awhile after 12 years. Don't shoot competitively so they're plenty fast enough for my needs.

RE: xi archery
 

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I bought it before '96. It was pretty much XI's bottom of the line bow.

RE: xi archery
 

I believe that the Silverhawk was the low end bow when I left- maybe the guys put it out in 96 as I left in Jan.

I hung up my XI bow 2 years ago for a new Diamond Triumph.I still have it.It's aFlatliner. Need parts.....Let me know
