I dont really know as I have never shot either....but it seems from my 5 minutes of searching that you are gonna be about $100 more for the X Force than the Airborne. Just something to think about.

Damn....now you got me lookin into an 82nd. I just need 800 dollars to appear in my apartment tonight.

With the airborns my suggestion would be to ditch the factory suppressor or get a replacment rubber piece from bow jax. The factory one is too thin and when the string hits it sends the vibrations right to your rest and sight which cause more noise. I completely removed the factory suppressor and installed a mean v and it made it much quieter.

i would pick the X-Force but before you go and buy one shoot the Hoyt Powerhawk

Honestly the X-force is great but the only problem is that the limbs flex so much to make that speed they are put under tremendous wear and tear..the 82nd with speed modules is gonna blow away a PSE x-crap i mean x-force. Ive shot against PSE x force and they are loud and slow with anything on the string such as peep aligners and cat whiskers will slow an x-force a ton. i mean the x-forse is a nice bow but not what a bowtech is.

That's funny right there. Try not to listen to some of these fan boys, go shoot all the boys before you lay down the cash. I personally own a Dream Season and it's all the bow anyone could ever ask for. I watched a guy at a shoot draw his 82nd (not sure of the poundage) and he looked to be struggling pretty bad, he later on shot my X-force at 70lbs and looked like he was going to jerk the wheels off???? I drew an 82nd a couple of times and it was a little stout to ME.

Its also about the mods as well gentlemen...the speed mod is the harsh draw without putting excessive stress on the limbs like the xforce. and also the 82nd 348with 80% let off the PSE needs 75% to do it. The smooth mod on the 82nd is only about 325fps but is a SMOOTHER draw and is still 80% let off..So PSE can not even come close.

Shot the x-force....and owned an 82nd for a while.

If it were me....I'd ditch both and go more middle of the road. I'd see if I could get my hands on an '08 Allegiance.....or try the new Captain (Bowtechs).

Curious as why you would suggest the Captain? It's an inch and half longer, no more brace height, and slower? What are the benefits of a Captain vs. the PSE?

#1 your sacrificing brace height and a harsh draw cycle to get 350, so when you switch to the smooth mod you've got a smoother draw, less speed, and still almost an inch shorter brace height? As far as the stress on the limbs, isn't that what these bows are built for? I'm no proffessional, but I wouldn't build a Z06 corvette motor unless I had the right chassis to put it in?


BY THE WAY GUYS I OWN A DIAMOND IT"S DANG FINE BOW!
