Then best advice is for you to get the bow you like best. Both rails will preform expertly. Remember when choosing the poundage for the bow is that the more poundage in the bow, the more work it will be in shooting it. Even the 150lb bow is more then enough for Moose, so for you it sounds like any model will work that way.Snowywolf822 wrote:Haha the decision is defiantly the hard part as of right now. I'm definatly leaning towards the Ibex if i get a SMF model and if i decide aluminum probably the Phoenix since its a little more in price range.
If you will be shooting it a lot (practice or 3D shoots) then you might want to not get the higher poundage bows. After a while shooting, it will become more like work cocking it then fun.
Since the newer rails are a little lighter, you might find one model a better fit for balance. But since you are coming from the compound side of things, any of the Excaliburs will have a better balance.
Again the rails will not be any problem, if you like the looks of one over the other, then choose it.
Hope this helps. Tom
