200 pound limbs on 175 pound bow???

[motorcycle]

Can I install 200 pound Exocet or Vortex limbs on a 175 pound Phoenix bow to make a 200 pound Phoenix?

the 200 pound exocet and vortex have a powerstroke of 15.5 while the Phoenix has 14.5 so I guess it would be a little less fps due to the reduced draw

limbs are the same, it's the length of the rail that makes up the poundage...

limbs are the same, it's the length of the rail that makes up the poundage...

And the riser type.

Ok,now I get how it works.That makes sense completely.So if I wanted to go from a 175 pound bow to a 225 pound bow I would replace the rail to one from an Exomax which has powerstroke of 16.5 versus the 14.5 that I have now.

You are correct.

Sent my carved limb exocet to excalibur for up grade to 200 pound molded limbs-- quick and easy and not too $$$ now i have an exocet 200 that can use dyna-flite strings...... excellent job by the excalibur people of course

If you had carved limbs on your exocet...unless someone mixed and matched it (i.e. it's a hybrid) then what you had was a 165# exocet with a 15" rail and a straight cast riser. Replacing just your limbs doesn't change those specs. All it allows you to do is use dyna-flite or other HMPE strings. Therefore, all you'll gain is a few fps. in speed.
