I love my Phoenix personally

I wouldn't need anything bigger really.

mostly hunting big penna deer 200lbers,40-yard shots max..does the 20-30fps make that much diff??i doubt it

The Exocet will shoot an arrow completely through a deer, but then so will the Phoenix!

Just my personal opinion, but I sure like my Phoenix. Never owned an Exocet 200, but I did have a 175# Exocet, and the Phoenix is much easier for me to use.

You can't go wrong with any of the Excalibur models. I've owned them all, and found them all more than adequate for my needs.

I bought an exomag before the phoenix came out. The exomag and the 200 exocet are basically the same bow. hunted a year with that bow and bought my wife a phoenix . short of the story the phoenix is much handier in south texas brush and you don't have to chase your bolts so far.
