I currently own a Equinox and a M355.
Both are awesome.
Getting older and having a 10 year old I am thinking about getting a more gentile xbow which would be good for the kid as he gets a bit older and it would be easier on me should I find the others getting hard to cock.
I am 5'8" and 51 yrs old.
My boy is gonna be bigger and stronger than I.
I have been looking at a Phoenix, Ibex, Vortex or Grizly.
These bows because the expense is more manageable than say a M310 which I think might also perfectly fit the bill.
Mainly this will be for whitetail out to 30 yds. both tree and blind shooting but mainly tree.
Do I need this bow? No.
Do I want another one? Yes.
Any help choosing and justifying the expense for a new toy would be greatly appreciated.
I was thinking about getting the Grizly and dressing it up over time with cheek, REDS and such to have a "M305".
The Ibex is less expensive, sexy and easy on the draw but larger.
The Vortex might be too close to the M355 I already have and top price of the four.
The Phoenix is a more expensive Ibex and perhaps offers nothing more than an Axiom, which I had and loved, but sold to my nephew to make way for the M355.
The most expensive option is to get a fully dressed Equinox, (has all the bells and whistles including full camo, cheek piece, suppressors, breaks and a shadow zone scope ), and cut her down to a mid Ibex-Vortex.
At the end of the day she would price out about the same as fully dressing any of the others but requires more up front money and will always be wider than the Grizly-Matrix options.
Oh God! Its like being in a whirlwind.
