We will let the following target speak for itself. The only things that remains for us to do is test the consistency and accuracy of the X-Force® BladeTM. The factory installed 4x32 scope is very similar to the one on the Covert 3.4 and we have no reason to believe that it will not perform just as well. That is simply a personal preference on his part. However, since Jim plans on keeping the X-Force himself, he replaced it with a 2-7x variable scope.

The X-Force Blades comes with a very nice 4x32 scope that features six reticle crosshairs. And, being a lefty, Jim appreciates the ambidextrous safety that works for both left- and right-handed shooters. In fact, the stirrup provided enough stability that Jim was able to cock the crossbow with minimal effort using the included cocking-rope.Īs is standard on all Carbon Express crossbows, the X-Force employs anti-dry-fire technology, which increases safety and, just as importantly, crossbow service life. And, the newly designed stirrup to aid in cocking accommodates hunting boots and has a slip-resistant rubber coating which provides for faster loading, even when wet. The high-end extruded rail, found on all Carbon Express crossbows, ensures a consistent bolt release from the X-Force. They operated with the same smoothness as found on the Covert 3.4. The cams are cast and precision polished to insure flawless operation. The "ready-to-hunt" kit comes with all of the hex wrenches required for all adjustments, as well as necessary for servicing of the crossbow. As such, the X-Force® BladeTM had a high standard to meet and it does.īoth the butt-stock and foregrip are adjustable which permits the user to customize the unit to their individual requirements. Mary's crossbow of choice has been the Covert 3.4 Muddy Girl, a superbly engineered piece of equipment that is outstanding in every aspect. Maybe not for elephants, but then most of us aren't as proficient as Fred Bear.

It has all of the features that a demanding hunter expects. Well, to make a long story short (before you read the details), the X-Force® BladeTM crossbow is entry level ONLY in its price. We did so because of his reputation for demanding only quality products from every company that he has been associated with (which includes Sig Sauer). asked us to at least take a look at the X-Force® BladeTM, we agreed. Lou Riley, President of Eastman Outdoors, Inc. We are generally not interested in the "entry-level" products from any company as they are usually devoid of the quality found in the company's primary line of products.
