The first new bow I bought was an FX.I really liked it and I probably would still have it if it were a little higher poundage.I found it to be plenty fast and light.For the money you can do a lot worse.Ron

I've owned a FX for several years now and plan to
hang on to it. I use it mainly as a backup, but never
hesitate to take it to the field if needed. My brother
also shoots a FX and refuses to "upgrade"....he says
'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'....can't argue with him
there. Personally, I think it shoots every bit as well as
just about any bow on the market. It just has a bit
more hand shock and vibration. All in all, it's a
great buy for the money.

I'm still shooting that bow and really like it. It's compact, powerful and very accurate. If you have a 28" draw or less I would highly recommend the minimax cam, the draw is smoother with that cam and the smaller idler makes for an even more compact package. The minimax will reduce the peak draw weight 4-5 lbs though, so keep that in mind. In that price range even this many years later, that would be the treestand bow I would buy.

I am going into my fourth season with my FX and there is no match IMHO. It shoots well and accurate and is simple to keep in tune. I am 65 years old and expect that this fantastic bow will most likely outlast me. However if it shouldn't, its replacement will be the FX.

On April 2, I am having a new string and cables installed. it is a very forgiving bow and more than one critter has bowed to it.

It is a terrific bow and WELL WORTH THE PRICE.

I'm with the above statements. It's a no frills bow that's short and sweet and will definetly get the job done. I'd buy another one!
