Had to commet on this one.The Xforce is a awesome machine.The 09 is even better.I am hunting with a 08 set on 30in draw and 80pds and with my strings and tuning I am shooting a 432gr arrow 341fps.I think its around 110pds KE.I have shot 4 whitetails with it with 2 blade rage heads and hit one decent buck in the shoulder and it went through like hot butter and stuck in the ground.I joined PSEs staff last year and probably setup and tuned 50-60 Xforces this year and am still amazed that a speed bow can shoot so sweet.As far as limb failures ,the only ones they had were from dry fires and being pressed in the wrong bow presses.There hasnt been any problem with the limbs and they are actually tough as nails.Everyone I setup met or exceeded IBO ratings.You wont be dissapointed with that bow.The 09 is a tad faster with 80% letoff with the new GX cams.
