I've got myself a new Vixen too. I went to a local shop and picked up and aimed every Excalibur crossbow they had. At first I was planning on buying a Pheonix but the Vixen fit me best and I liked how it was balanced. I'm 5'4" and it seemed perfect for me. I also like the simplicity of that bow...

Thanks guys. Do these models have scent-lok and, if not, is that important?

Commercial Ground Blinds?

Hi guys, Just got a Vixen. It has quickly become my favourite deer hunting tool; it's accurate, simple, and has plenty of ooomph.

When I saw it, I put the bead on it and was about to shoot. Just then his blaze orange cap came up over the rise in line with the ani...
