    Im in high school and want to upgrade from my Mathews MQ1. I got to shoot this bow the other day and fell in love with it! ive heard though that it isnt a very good target bow though so im not totally sure i want to go with it yet. I want to get into like the nasp style tournaments as well as use my bow for hunting and just fun shooting, also 3d competitions. Any input would be appreciated. btw if i dont choose the Creed XS i will probably buy an Elite Synergy, would that be a better bow for what i want?

    Not very familiar with Nasp. I shoot indoor Vegas and 5 spot along with outdoor FITA and field. I definitely would not choose the creed xs. Between those two the synergy is far better but for a hunting and target bow id say look at the energy 35.

    Out of those two I would go with the Elite Synergy. Its not too short and its too long, its got decent speeds and is very,very,very accurate. I shot one about 2 Weeks ago and I LOVE it!!! The price at my Shop is about $750-$799.... Since its all about personal Preference, I would go to a shop near you and try out different models to see which one fits you the best. Hope this Helps.
    Good Luck and Happy Hunting

    x2. A longer ATA bow will be beneficial for what you're looking to do with it.

    Yeah you would be going on the opposite direction with the creed xs.

    I wanted a XS until I shot it. I didn't like it much. I liked the chill R better the Chill X even more but loved and bought the No cam.
