Re: Help with choosing crossbow
greetings pa deer hunter i see that you are going to give the xbow a whirl. just picked mine up 2 wks. ago. i love it! i got a exocet,your choices are good, and your best bet is to have hands on analysis, along with some sound advice.if i may: exomax-good choice alot of power, 225 dr. wht., vortex- same as exocet, only with a thumb hole stock, ibex- good choice, about the same as the phoenix, except for the thumbhole stock... really looking forward to hunting with it this season. oh, i am not hanging up my vert. bow, i just wanted another weapon to hunt the elusive pa whitetail with!! are you from pa? what county? good luck and choose wisely....e11indick wrote:Hi will be buying my first crossbow this year.hopefully within the next week. I will be mainly hunting white tail in PA with this bow. Any suggestions? I believe I have narrowed it down to the following exomax, vortex and ibex.

Re: Help with choosing crossbow
If you like to shoot a lot, get the 175 pull weight bow or 200 at most as cocking gets progressively more difficult. The 225 lb pull bow is great, but longer and much harder to cock. Personally. I shoot both but like the TH stock more.
Vortex, Phoenix, single-shot rifles and handguns.

Why hunt? Simple, it's BASIC. Why breath?!

I doubt "dick" cares about any responses, he hasnt logged in under his username since he posted his question. Its likely one of the local trolls with nothing better to do.

This response is typical of the recent trolls happening here. Once some members call BS the troll attempts to look genuine.
cant take anyone serious who dares to use a name like that.

Re: Help with choosing crossbow
Ok well you should have taken me serious. Bc this was a serious question. I was looking for opionions from users who possibly have these crowwbowas. Next time I want to engage in meaningless talks I will shoot direct a message towards you. But that's all I'm going to say.
