Welcome!  This is a great place to hang out.  I have not shot the Martin X200 but have read good things about it.  Have fun at your tournament, and make sure you try stump shooting!

Hi

I only started a couple months ago with an X200 as well.  Mines 35# but drawn to 30.5 - so around 40# also.  Nice bows!

If you have the green riser one you can put D97 and other low stretch strings on it - don't do this if you have a brown riser one.  I put an 8 strand D97 flemish on mine double served with Halo and it's made it an even nicer bow.
