New Phoenix
I finally got the call yesterday afternoon that my new phoenix was in. I ordered it a couple weeks ago and have been goin crazy waiting for it. I almost bought a used exocet with the brown vixen stock that they had because I was tired of waiting. The exocet didn't have the varizone scope or dissipator pads, and it wasn't camo, so I waited.
It was worth the wait!! They have a 20yd indoor range where I bought it. It took exactly 3 shots to zero in the scope at 20 yds! I then took fifteen more shots and the entire group was within 1 inch with field points!! I was shooting one at a time as I can't afford to be buying new arrows !!:D Right out of the box this bow was bang on. I have a feeling I am going to go nuts waiting for hunting season to come around!
I can't wait for some decent weather so I can get out and try it at some longer ranges.
Does anyone know how many grains a stock 20" carbon firebolt arrow weighs. I am curious of the weight of my set up, I was using the stock arrows with 100gr tips.
Thanks in advance

Re: New Phoenix
My 20 inch firebolts weigh 266 without the points. I am shooting the 150 gr points that came with my package for a total of 416gr.

Appreciate the support you guys!!
I was sitting on the couch last night just holding it, (the phoenix), my girlfriend was laughing at me! She just doesn't get it.

Re: New Phoenix
Best you put it away when the girlfriend is around. She may get jealous.

Re: New Phoenix
Glad to hear yer phoenix had arrived & you have shot it. Drooling all over the screws causing them to rust was not a good idea!
Re: New Phoenix
The Phoenix is a great choice.
Plenty of speed and power, but still light enough to make practice fun.
Enjoy it and have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: New Phoenix
Congrats! sounds like you will love yours as much as I love mine!!!!!
Re: New Phoenix
You guys are probably right, don't want her to get too jealous at the very start of my new relationship with my phoenix!!
I promised her I wouldn't even look at the bow tomorrow, Hope I can pull it off.
