I picked one up last year for $399. It has been very good for me. As someone buying his first bow I did not want to buy the most expensive bow out there. When I shoot at the range with other people they comment about how quiet and fast it is. It seems to have good accuracy…..I would say it is great but I am not sure I am capable of that.
Last fall was my first fall hunt. I took a deer with a nice double lung shot. I hit exactly where I was aiming and the deer was down and harvested very quickly! someone on this site was selling a fully loaded X5 for $599. I thought that was a very good price and I think it has been sold.
