New Excal. models?

ALINALBERTA · Post by **ALINALBERTA** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 4:06 pm

Hi guys. I may be way behind on this, but I noticed in The Archers Nook web site there is now a 200 lb. Exocet with the same power stroke as the 175 lb. and there is a new 175 lb. model called the Phoenix with a 14" powerstroke same as the Vixen. No doubt this is from the Exomax breeding. I was just wandering if these are very recent or have been out for a bit. I don't see any info on the Excalibur website about them.

You're right. New models are here. Some more interesting choices. Higher fps in shorter power strokes. Cool. They must have just come out.

Is it thier way of doing a little tweaking. Add a few FPS every year. Whats a 1 year old exocet shoot? And what does thie years exocet shoot. How many pounds and FPS.

Looks like they just mated the heavier limbs of the exomax with the other frames

Maybe just the ExoMax riser??

I will see and handle them come January 7th or 8th in Indianapolis

-actually the exomax limbs are the same as all of the other bows...but, take the riser from this bow and retrofit it on all of the 2004 models and what have your got...your 150 # vixen now flys like a bird (phoenix) and your 2004 exocet just got turbo-charged...what about the emag...it's already done in the form of the exomax...(bye bye exomag

)...with these new breeds of bows, i now think it's time that the new riser and limb assembly was offered as an upgrade...what do you think ????..although these bows are now advertised, they will not be available until after xmas...

OK.. I've got a 2001 E'mag in the 185 pound version. I just had the Exocet pass me up.

Yes, I would not mind an upgrade to a new riser to boost me a little.

I always did like POWER...

I LIKE the sounds of the Phoenix!

Exocet performance in a compact Vixen-length package.....that will be just the ticket IMHO.

What is the difference between a 200lb Exomag 16.5" power stroke - 330 fps and a 200lbs Exocet - 15.5" power stroke - 330 fps.

Other then a 1" stroke length, what is the advantage of 1 over the other?

If ya be on the short side that 1" can be the difference in how easy you can cock it

bj not a bad idea and I sure would go fer it "max riser as an upgrade "

but I would not think it will happen any too soon, as it would hurt sells on the NEW MODELS

i agree to a point with you gary, but if i bought a new exocet (maybe within the last month), and all of sudden my one month old bow is slightly obsolete, i think that the ability to upgrade it asap, would be a smart business thing to do...this makes more sense now, that most of the lineup will move to the "new riser"...

hey, just my two cents though...we'll see what happens...you're absolutely right Mike...the turbo exocet will be a good bow, but in my mind the phoenix will be the best of all worlds (305 fps, accurate as all get out, easy to cock....what more could you ask for ?????)

I'm looking to upgrade my Vixen to a Phoenix as soon as possible. Bring on the new riser! I wonder what bolt weight they used to get the 305 fps. 325 grains or 350 grains. Any ideas?
