RE: The Jury Is In!!
Dnk: In a word, NO. Won't matter a bit. I've got a personal limit of 30 yds. My three will get that job done easily. The stashed Vixen's owner likes 25 yds better, so I unloaded some odd-ball 442 gr on him. I shot the Vixen w/ stock Excal 350 gr arrows and would not be afraid to go 30 or 35 w/ that set-up. It shoots about the same as the Phoenix w/ 431's. That picture I sent you of the three over 170 bucks, two of them were taken w/ this Vixen, Mal-Wart arrows and mechanicals. Both were pass throughs at an average of about 23 yds. Are you looking for an excuse to get a new xbow? LOL. You'll have to do better than this!! LOL
Actually, I turned my Phoenix into a Vixen performance wise, except I'm shooting a tad heavier arrow. I estimate the k.e. on Phoenix at 78 ft lbs. The Emax is about 104 ft lbs [dang, need that chrony] Edit: Chrony on the way! Cabela's is loading it on a mule now. Boy Howdy, you guys are getting expensive!! LOL

RE: The Jury Is In!!
Dnk: He's the same guy that "bought" that Barnett Quad 400 we blew up in my shop trying to get better than 4" groups at 20 yds!! I'll never forget him ducking and a wheel rolling out the garage door if I live to be a 100. There were limbs, cables, string, in about a 20 foot area, lol, either string broke or arrows were too light or????
He paid $240 for the Vixen [carved tip] w/ brand new Horton 4x on it. And, he had to think it over!! I told him if he didn't get it right then and there, I'd buy the sob and the price was going up!! He put three into 2 1/2" at 30yds and pulled out his check book, swore me to secrecy on an old Playboy. lol
