Title: Got a NEW BOW!!!!
Post by: vanhornhunter on June 07, 2008, 12:45:59 PM: I broke down.I went down to xxx archery in rainier oregon last night just to shoot and compare the x-force to the other bows ive shot lately.Over the last week I shot alot of differnt bows and after I shot the x-force I loved it,so I bought it :).It does have a little hand shock but a string suppressor will cure that.they had one set up that way at the shop and it I didnt notice any hand shock.I wasnt sure about the 6 inch brace height either but I shot the dream season which is 7 and it shot the same to me.It does have a harder draw cycle than some of the other bows I shot but I think thats a sacrifice for the speed.I have'nt conographed it yet but im willing to bet its shoting around 320 fps.Now I just got to sell that bengal so I can get it set up.

Im thinking about going to a single pin adjustable sight.I shot one the other night and liked it.I not sure what you mean about the grip though :dunno: im pretty sure its smaller than the bengals.

Post by: DeKuma on June 09, 2008, 06:49:08 AM: Yeah, it is a comfort thing. I am not too fond of the grip on my Bengal either. Tried the Sims Tentacle wrap on it, but that does not do the trick. Thinking I need some custom grips to make it feel right. The grip on my Hoyt just fit my hand and was comfortable to shoot.

I just installed the King Cobra I sight on my bow. Loving it. One pin set at 20-25 and I am in the kill zone out to 40. Can aim a little high or low to get into the black on the targets, or just slide the pin to the correct yardage. 1 pin is nice for the feild of view with no distractions.
