My condolences go out to the family and you , I hunt with my father and that is one of my fears that I may walkin some day and find him . But that is his wish if possible rather than in a hospital .

Cody there is nothing wrong with the pheonix as long as you keep your shots at a respectable distance but that goes without saying for all the bows ( it is not a rifle with 0-50 flat shooting). My brother had the same problem his wife said this is your budget so he wanted the goodies instead of the ...

Save your money and get the life time socks from basspro if you wear them out they replace them for free . They are made of morino wool and are very warm , I have a pair of those battery socks they are about as useless as udders on a bull . They get to hot so your feet sweat then you unsnap them the...

I agree , with all the cables and wheels there is nothing but trouble waiting around the corner . What do you do if something goes wrong with it on a moose hunt stop hunting all together . I really believe in the KISS theory .

What I have found works for me is I went with tri-colour fletching (hot pink,white and black ) . This way there is a colour that always contrasts with the surroundings .Plus the white gives me an indicator of where I really hit , by the colour of the blood . I haven`t lost an arrow in 13 years with ...

Answer to your first question is yes it is still a good bow , it has the power stroke of a vixen . I still have mine and I have had people offer to buy it for when they sold their`s they had wished they had held on to it . In comparision to today`s bows it doesn`t have the speed but boy is it a swee...

JR you are better to get a scope that is designed for crossbows or airguns . When I first started to shoot in 3-d`s I went through two simmons scopes and one bushnell . It was the same problem with all three the reticles just could not take that reverse recoil . The worse one was the simmons, got it...

The truth is you will have more than enough power to harvest a deer with the vixen . Convinced my brother to buy one and the only complaints would be from the deer . The vixen or the pheonix are a good choice for the financially inhibited .
