Great deal for that 90's model. Those models are easy (for me anyway) to cock and un-cock using your fingers only. Adding your own rope cocking groove only takes minutes with a small diameter file if you don't mind modifying Vix.

Re: all black vixen
I think you did fine on the price any Excalibur under $200 in decent shape you can not go wrong in my mind.
And I think the older models have a lot of charm that the new ones do not have.
I would just keep shots at game under 30 yards and you have a fine hunting bow.

I have an old Excal catalog from the 90es with a carved tip vixen in it and speed is rated at 260 fps / 150 lb draw / 14 in power stroke.
If you need a string for it be sure to get one for the carved tip limbs Danny miller has them I am sure.

Re: all black vixen
Also, you can upgrade it by contacting Excalibur about getting some magtip limbs for it. I think that's a fine deal.

Re: all black vixen
This black Vixen talk got my attention...with a Matrix riser and blackout limbs you’d have a screamer! It’s got that perfect rail length.

Re: all black vixen
No stress worries by cutting/filing a shallow rope cocker groove into the 90's model stocks, numerous forum members have done that modification in the past. You can find photos using the search feature if you wish.

Re: all black vixen
I did this on my Exocet 165 , just use a chainsaw file , doesn't have to be deep
If guns cause crime, all of mine are defective
Re: all black vixen
thanks guys, I do not mined using the butt, just concerned if it will cause undue stress in that area, would not think so but wanted your expert opinion, thanks again.
just to clarify, are you referring to cut the grove in the butt or just behind the trigger unit? like normal
