I may be in the minority but I do not prefer a full camo bow. I like the contrast of the camo and gray. i could see them making the rails in black so it would match my scope and red dot.I could even see them making an all black bow. Each of us have our own preference in weapons. I am pretty certain ...

First time I shot my phoenix I thought something exploded but found out that the noise is how loud an unsilenced bow shoots. I started practicing using ear muffs since I did not enjoy the noise. I waited several months and bought a Boo string w/ whiskers and a STS. I no longer use the ear protection...

The arrow was never more than 3 inches high from 10-20 yards and was 3 inches low at 33 yards. for each yard past 33 yards(up to 40 yards) the arrow ...

They cost about 50.00 and definetly worth the money. I bought one for my phoenix last year along w/ a Boo string. All i can say is i use to practice wearing earmuffs since the noise of a stock bow was annoying. I now find it pleasant enough to shoot w/o the muffs. I bought a vortex and just took eve...

Go to a store that sells them try out the 175lb thru 225lb model's.Look at which feels more comfortable -a thumbhole stock or standard one. All of us are unique to ourselves what's good for one person may not feel good to another. I own a vortex and a phoenix and they are different when comparing th...

Trigger pull- Phoenix versus Vortex
I have been shooting a phoenix since last January and felt it was the smoothest trigger that I have ever owned. I mean just apply steady pressure and off it goes w/o you knowing it. I have been shooting my Vortex and noticed that I have to take out some slack in the trigger and then it goes off smoo...

The first time I shot my phoenix I thought it blew up it was then I realized that these things are loud so I started wearing ear plugs when I shot. After finding this forum I read about silencing these bows and got a STS and BOO string. I was then able to shoot it w/o ear plugs. I live in a suburban...
