I've had mine about a month now and I've had no problems The bow shoots great, the Viper cams have a good solid back wall and produce plenty of speed. The integral handle makes it very easy to reproduce your hand position consistantly........do a search, there are a few threads about the XV here

Useful to know, I'm currently working on form changes and as my DL has gone up an inch or two now I've gotten rid of my hunch (!) I will be looking for another bow in the next few months (once I get draw weight back up) as my Equalizers no longer fit... Mind you, a lot depends on how much dosh I can raise from selling my two matching Equalizers (if I have to go part-x it does limit the dealers I can go to... ), but I would like to at least try the Merlins- the XS / XV prob- they seem to be getting good reviews and mainly I would like to support a UK manufacturer for a change if the products are what I want.

Any good ideas on how to sell a couple of Equalizers.....?
