X Force

[Predator]

Finally got to shoot the new bow.




WOW!

Finally chronographed the bow. I was initially a little disappointed till we did the math.

270fps...a little slow compared to the IBO rating but, I have it tweeked down to 60 lbs, I am shooting 27" draw and launching 390 gr gold tips with blazer 2" vane arrows. Still it seems rather fast since I still cannot see the arrows going downrange and what I have given up in speed I will recoup in kinetic energy.

Interesting tidbit...the cam module used in my firestorm lite is the same cam modules being used on the X force bows.

seems those extra inches make all the difference no mater what bow. my xforce at 63lbs over the crono was 326 with my hunting arrow i forget what it weighs but the last i knew my draw was 32". my arrow is cut to 29.5 and can be cut any shorter.

Actually that does sound a little slow for an XForce. I would think something around 285-290. I have a drenalin (slower bow) same arrow, 28" draw @ 62lbs shooting 293fps.

Maybe its just too darn fast and the chronograph is guessing.

One thing for sure 270 will get the job done. Would not worry about it, the XForce is a great bow.

My dreamseason is shooting 309 29" draw 70 pound. This one has the 7.5" brace. Great shooting bows.

I have to admit, when I first started shooting my X force, it seemed really different, almost uncomfortably different.

now after a month or so and about 200 arrows, it is really starting to feel comfortable and shoot scary groups.
I made up some 6" rounds for qualification practice and my arrows started to graze each other when shooting multiples. I now have to aim at different quadrants of the circle so I do not hit my own arrows.

I guess it is the radical let off, there is not much at the wall and if you let the bowstring creep just a tad forward it wants to jump out of your release. where as with my firestorm lite there was a considerable plateau at the wall and that allowed you to relax just a little at full draw.
