Anything at all to get weight off the front end is a good idea as long as it doesnt affect reliability. Easier siad than done

Other than that, how do you improve a awesome product, other than cosmetics?

i sure would like to see a T-holed vixen II. talk about a fine handling CB. light weight easy to move & tote. plenty fast enough & power fer any deer out to 40 yds. well i guess i will just wait and see the outcome!

I can agree with this to a point. Surface area is key. Rounding the edges would decrease surface area. perhaps enlarging the prongs would help?? Just thinking out loud.

I would like to see shorter limbs. Maybe we could get down to 24" width. Would like to not loose any velocity though.

I like the way Bill T talks. this is one of the reasons my next bow will be an EXCALLIBUR. it's very pleasing to find a company that is dedicated to the QUALITY of its products.

I think having the option of a wooden stock on the other bows such as the equinox, both regular and thumbhole stock.

I am sure there is a reason for not doing it, but I would like an auto safety. That's the best I can come up with. I like everything else the way it is.

Wish list? Well...a big part of my job is product development for various manufacturer's tools and equipment, and I've fund the best method is to throw it all against the wall and see what will stick

Let me say that I am 100% happy with the bows I own, and this is posted in the spirit of "what if"

So on that note:

Metal safety

Auto safety

Anti-dryfire claw with pushbutton lockout

20% wider string claws

Skeletonized limbs, possibly 2" shorter with an additional 10 degree forward rake and a corresponding shortening of the rail

Foam filled extrusions

Integrated STS

Quick release riser to stock assembly

That's about it
