    First of all i know i know that everyone is going to say " well you just need to shoot them for yourself" and i have but my question is, they are the same price, is one particularly better that the other? Anyone care to share about THIER experiences with both these bows. And yes shot both but can you guys name some pros and cons for both cause i really like them both!

    Thanks Hudson

    I've shot them both and FOR ME it would be the chillR hands down. It had a better valley, it will be faster at the same draw weight, and just held better in my hand, probably due to its longer ATA. Oh and it comes with the focus grip.

    You cant really compare a solocam to a duel cam bow .but i shot both i like the creed xs its smoother to draw it has a better back wall and you can hold it longer at full draw both have little to no vibration and both sit very steady in the hand . plus i hunt in alot of tight spots and i like the shorter ata for hunting outta trees and blinds or even a spot and stalk the chill r has to big of a ata for me i dont like over a 32 ata unless for 3d. The creed xs is slot easier to tune and paper tune also. im a mathews tech for a local shop and i have to tune more chills and chill r's then creeds or xs's im not downing the bow both are awesome if your looking for a speed bow get the chill r if your looking for a lightweight compact and sniper accurate then the xs.

    Also is timing a huge issue with the Chill R?

    Its not a huge issue but more of a issue than the creed xs the xs is so easy to tune and stays in tune.

    Theres always gona be more to timing on a duel cam bow than over a single cam thats why they made single cam less timing issues and less tuneing issues.

    Out of those two I like the ChillR better for me. The XS is too short for "me" and too long of a BH. Now I really like the original Creed and Chill. It's all in what you like and feels good to you.

    For me, it was the ChillR hands down. I felt the ChillR had a better draw cycle and a better release. I've set up quite a few ChillR's and the tune as easy as any bow I've ever worked on.
