Rare is the woman that can spot an inch or two of rail diff, lol. Vix and Lascha exceptions withstanding.
I've had all the reg stock models except for a Phoenix and I tried for one of those, but got the Ecet mis marked from factory. By the time I found that out [damn Danny] a year later, too late, was in luv.
Gotta say it and Vixen are my favorites. Sweet and saucy.

Re: Crossbow differences
Can only speak for myself. Had to buy the stock x-tender for the Vortex. Stock just felt not right without, but again that's me. I personally tend more towards the traditional stock. On the other side, the TH is not bad at all neither with the x-tender.Badapple wrote:Vormax
Did you find any difference going from thumbhole to a traditional stock.I'm also interested in purchasing either a Phoenix or Ibex just cant decide which model. Tested them both just not sure which route to take?

Re: Crossbow differences
Well I only have bought one CB and that was an Axiom (old style) this past summer.
Had never shoot any other CB, but some Verticals long time ago.
First 4 shots at 20 yards had a 1 1/4" group. on the target where I was aiming.
Way impressed. Took out the camera and got a pic. Posted here somewhere.
I have shot many rifles, handguns, shotguns. To me this was just a back pat to good research, and a Canuck company to boot.
Ok so after shooting for a couple days DW wanted to shoot it. I helped her cock it and snap hit the target 1st time. ( she has shot a wee bit of rifle and did get 1 antelpoe years ago). Evil grin from her. So she shot for a while and just loved it.
A few friends have shot it and were impressed. All these guys have hunted with rifles and bows.
Youngest daughter ( 19 ) who has no interest in guns what so ever, now wants to learn how to shot the CB ?? WTF ?
Unfortunalty due to work and tons of rain I only got out with the CB a couple times and did not get any good opportunities to use it.
I st get an Axiom and get shooting.
2nd let DW shot the CB.
3 rd get her a Vixen or like and make it sound like a second wedding.
4 get camo bikini for her. ( Optional)
5 get extra arrows and points as they run away never to be seen again.
6 repeat.
FWIW when I got my Axiom I also had the lucky opportunity to take a BIG fall and break two ribs and a good wack on the brain. I could not draw the string so I got a rope cocker. Made it easy.
My target is under about 4 feet of snow now, I have not shot any deer eating at the bird feeder. Flinch, tick, tick,
Waiting till spring and when the gophers come out.....
And i Did get permission from an away fellow that owns land behind my place, so I can hunt his land. Just have to replace a few rotted fence posts and post when I am shooting. AHH life is going to be good this sumer.
