Despite the light 135 pound draw weight, this x-bow delivers arrows at a blistering 375 feet per second. ![]() Just for giggles, I backed up to 100 yards, the length of a football field, and was able to place two-inch groupings with the aid of a shooting stick.Īs far as power goes, the Fisix FFL definitely has it where it counts. I usually hit two-inch groupings from 40 to 50 yards, but with the Fisix FFL I was nailing down one and a half inch groupings without breaking a sweat. Once properly sighted in, this puppy is a tack driver, plain and simple. Once you’ve got it assembled and the scope mounted, you’re ready to start sighting it in.
