I recently purchased a phoenix NIB off e-bay and the right stuff package-$563.00 for the bow and right stuff package. I did my intial sight in last week in my basement at 10 yards and can not wait till it warms up so I can go outside to see how it will shoot at 20 and 30 yards. I originally had planned to use a zeiss z-point-red dot(already had one) but decided for now to go with the vari-zone scope. I plan on experimenting with the z-point later on this summer. Anyway this bow is only for target shooting since its illegal to use xbows in New York. I live about 10 miles from New Jersey and I heard they probably would become legal there for any hunter for the 2009 season.Hopefully NYS will legalize xbows in the not too distant future for all hunters. I am very impressed with the xcal quality and the reasonable price I paid for it. I want to add I never picked up a xbow till I put the phoenix together. I will keep it stock for now but I can see Boo strings, STS and maybe a overhead quiver when I am able to hunt with it. I xchnged pm's with Awshucks on another forum and am grateful for all the info that he gave me. i doubt I will post much as I am quite new at this but will sit back to listen and learn. Pete
Welcome and Congratulations on your purchase I sure hope you continue to monitor the site just for the fun of it. Lots of Good people that have a lot of knowledge to share
Welcome Liaf!! You could put what I know about Excals on the head of a pin and still have room for angels to dance compared to these guys. Most of what I picked up either came from here or was related to tests I did prompted by info from my friends here. I think Gary L here has a signature line "Always Learning", lol.
If you are not willing to learn, nobody can help you, if you are willing, nobody can stop you.
