Post by copperjohn »

Is this the cast riser one or is it machined w/ mag tips? Is three hundred a good price?

Unfortunately your pic doesn't show the tips. If the tips are pointed and carved out of the limb, then they are not magtips. Magtips are flat and blunt molded separate parts which are actually glued onto the limbs. If it is a magtip Vixen, then I would have to say that it was made between the late 90's and 2002

i zoomed in a whole bunch and it looks to me like a machined riser and also the newer style stirrup.

That's a rare bow. It was only made one or two years with the all black bow with the mag tips. It will have the red Vixen label on it as well. 300 is an excellent price for a very collectable bow.
