$300 Target Bow: Gen-X Archery X-Won Review

[@5jjt]

A slick way to deal with peep rotation is to insert a string silencer between the two different twists in the string, above the peep and move it up or down the string as you wish, which will rotate the peep either direction.

Hi Lucas. Just letting you know I received my X-WON, took your advice and immediately had the strings replaced with high quality strings. Added an Angel MA-CPZ sight and Specialty Archery double vision scope. Wow. This bow is a shooter. The draw is so smooth and forgiving I was able to increase my draw weight by 10 lbs. If you ever decide to review the Double Vision system, shoot me a message and I'll tell you about my experiences using the scope. Thanks for your excellent review.

O Medina Really happy to hear it. Happy shooting

[@thegroundedone5784]

Thank you for the review! I might just have to pick one up

[@ArcheryTalkVideo]

Thegroundedone It’s crazy good value for $300

[@johnbolton8606]

Hi Thegroundedone, have you picked a bow up yet and what do you think of it?

[@kengunnett2017]

I have some high $$$$ target bows, but I really like shooting my Genesis 20# compound. My Hamskea arrow rest, my sights, and release cost more than the bow. At 20# it has zero letoff, which is 5 pounds more that my Prime target bow. Arrow speed is a whooping 171 Fps with GT 700's.

[@ryanvredevoogd1235]

Good review. 👍

[@connorlenhardt9008]

Thanks

[@johnbolton8606]

The bow looks brilliant for me to start compound shooting, are they available in the UK ?

[@ArcheryTalkVideo]

John Bolton Unfortunately, the bow is no longer being produced or sold.

[@Lee-tq9jg]

i bought one a few weeks ago the archers nest in newport shropshire have them around £250

[@cartersaito2654]

Hey guys I’m getting in to indoor archery and really want this bow,I live in Canada and I was wondering where you can buy this target bow

[@ArcheryTalkVideo]

Carter S Sadly, Gen-X was folded into Genesis and this bow was discontinued. I did see one at Shooter’s Choice in Waterloo, Ontario this week if you happen to be in the area.

[@cartersaito2654]

ArcheryTalk ok thank you I’ll look into it

[@kengunnett2017]

Gen X bows can be found on the Genesis website in 2025.

[@oscarmedina1303]

Unfortunately as of 2/15/2018 the X-Won has been discontinued. I was interested in this bow but couldn't find it on their website so I emailed them. They responded with "it's been discontinued".

[@ArcheryTalkVideo]

O Medina I saw that a well. It’s a bummer because this really is a great bow for $300. However, I bet you could find 4-6 year old flagship target bow used for about the same price.

[@oscarmedina1303]

I forgot to mention, they do have a few bows left and anyone interested in purchasing an X-Won can still do so by calling them. Thank you for your videos. I've learned a lot from watching them and I really enjoy your no-hype style of presentation. Oscar

[@oscarmedina1303]

Hi Lucas. I got back in touch with them and ordered the bow. It will arrive in a few days. Now I have to add all the other accessories. I have a blade rest to put on it. If this was your bow, which target sight would you install?

[@ArcheryTalkVideo]

Choosing a target sight is tricky, as all comes down to budget. High end target sights are very spendy. For a more reasonable price you can find a good deal on an HHA slider if you buy used. Saw one for $75 in the ArcheryTalk classifieds today, but not sure it can handle a lens.

[@oscarmedina1303]

Thanks! I've been looking at the Specialty Archery Double Vision System. My price range is $100-$200. I'll check out the HHA slider too.

[@BalogunTafatafa]

@ ArcheryTalk - I just received my X-Won too but I am somewhat amateur with Compound bow. Could you make a video tutorial for replacing bow string for X-Won. Thank you!

[@ArcheryTalkVideo]

Aṣiwaju Tafàtafà Aṣiwaju Tafàtafà You’ll need access to a bow press to change your string/cables. I’m sure other people have a better way, but when I put new threads on, I take one loop off the old string on the top cam then loop the new string on. Then I repeat the process on the bottom cam. Then I do the same with the cables.

[@BalogunTafatafa]

@ ArcheryTalk - Thank you, much appreciated.

[@tonyinfinity]

I can't find this bow ANYWHERE

[@ArcheryTalkVideo]

Sadly, it has been discontinued.

[@kengunnett2017]

Genesis website.

[@tonyinfinity]

@@kengunnett2017 Not the same bow, it's not being made anymore

[@mcrekkr]

I got this bow and did a review on it haha still an amazing bow and I would have to agree with you the whole way through.

[@ArcheryTalkVideo]

It's a bummer it's not being sold any more.

[@mcrekkr]

I know. It just ads credence behind archery being a rich mans sport..

[@danielvrana9444]

How did you mKe your target block?

[@ArcheryTalkVideo]

I didn’t make that. It’s from a club I used for the video. It’s made of a fiber board material called ten test

[@con9072]

Where can you buy an xwon?

[@ArcheryTalkVideo]

Unfortunately, I don't think you can any more. The X-Gen bows line was absorbed into the Genesis line and the X-Won didn't make the cut. It's a shame.

[@connorlenhardt9008]

Do they make them left handed?

[@ArcheryTalkVideo]

Connor Lenhardt Sadly, it has been discontinued

[@connorlenhardt9008]

That sucks

[@ArcheryTalkVideo]

Connor Lenhardt It’s part of the Genesis brand now. If you contact them they might have some old stock left, it’s crazy good value
