Why isn't the X-Force Sold at All Sporting Goods Retailers?

Like several of today's hottest bows, the X-Force is NOT sold by internet stores, mail-order houses, or discount chain stores.  These protected bow lines are sold exclusively by a network of authorized local archery pro-shops who are required to maintain specialized equipment and personnel. This ensures the best possible level of customer service and helps to make certain that bows are properly setup, tuned, and performing-well in the field. That's something that's hard to accomplish if your products are just being warehoused and then shipped by big mail-order houses, catalog stores, or e-merchants that don't specialize in archery equipment. 

X-Force Technical Requirements

The cutting-edge design of the X-Force presents a unique challenge, as it requires a very specialized type of bow press.  The X-Force limbs are far beyond parallel at brace (rest).  So the X-Force cannot be pressed with a standard parallel limb bow press, nor can it be pressed with any type of hand-held field press.  So it's important that your X-Force dealer have the appropriate training and equipment necessary, so you'll be sure to get the most out of your new X-Force.  If you are unable to buy your X-Force via our X-Force Alliance program, please make sure your local dealer has the correct equipment before attempting to service your new X-Force.  

Factory Authorized Program Exclusive to Hunter's Friend?

Yes.  Hunter's Friend LLC is the only PSE dealership authorized to conduct mail-order sales on the new X-Force bows.  Of course, we are honored to have been selected by Pete Shepley himself to execute this program.  Why us?  Quite simply, we don't do things like most archery e-merchants.  While we do market and sell products to a broader market via our website, we are certainly NOT a corporate "big-box" store.  We maintain a full-time staff of qualified archery technicians. And, in fact, the VAST majority of our annual sales are generated through our Ready-to-Hunt™ Bow Package program, where every bow system arrives professionally accessorized, setup, adjusted, group & paper-tuned, and meticulously prepared by our pro-shop staff.  This is why our store services and sets-up more compound bows than any other standalone archery shop in the USA, and it why we're confident we will meet or exceed customer expectations with every new X-Force.
