VIXEN MODIFICATIONS
I e-mailed EXCALIBUR a couple of days ago, asking if it is possible to fit the new ( here i am not sure what it is called ) riser? or the triangular piece that holds the limbs to the guide? i might like to fit THAT new forward limb device to my old VIXEN, as of now i haven't heard back, does anyone here know if it is possible, if it is how much is that part worth?
That would make it a PHOENIX of sorts wouldn't it? Even though i have carved limbs on it.
Thanks, Daniele.

Good hunting, be safe.
I wanted to do 1 or 2 of my Vixens like that to make Pheonixs out of them, but was told the new risers were not being sold separately. I phoned the factory and was told this. Whether they sell them later,you could phone them for a quicker responce. Its toll free.

Hi Digger,
thank you for the post; i understand EXCALIBUR's position on this, however, i am not going to be a customer with the kind of cash to get a new xbow just because there is a new model, a lot of people out there do that with ECALIBUR, SNOWMOBILES, CARS, 4WD etc.. It's cool, i just don't have that kind of coin, so since i have already 2 of teir fine bows they might sell two more parts as opposed to nothing and make some more profit that way.
A long time ago i found myself selling Real Estate in Toronto, a wise agent at the time said to me , 50% of a sale is better than 100% of NO SALE.
Weather they agree with this i don't know, but i would bet money that they could sell upgrades and still sell their PHOENIX.
Daniele.

There might be some Exomax owners wishing to reduce stress on their bows and trade for your riser. (Their Exomax would become an Exomag.) Also if you recall some time back, a person learned that they aren't allowed to use more than a 200lb xbow for hunting in their state/province and had to sell his Max 225lb. xbow. this may motivate others to trade risers as well.

Two of my Vixens are mag tipped limb bows, I just wanted to try a new riser on them. Bill T said the cost would be around $100-$125 Can. if they dewcided to offer them for sale.

At this point we are not offering the new riser as an accessory. The main problem is we really don't have any extra to sell. Not to say we may not offer the riser and limbs as an upgrade kit some day in the future but right now it is not available. Would there be much interest in this upgrade idea and if so what would you guys be willing to pay for such an upgrade?? Hope you don't mind a little market research

Well Peter the fact is a set of limbs(MagTip) are around 100.00+ and I do not know what a standard riser sold for, before the tilted risers. I would like the riser only and some think it's high but I would go the same as the limbs around 100.00+ a little.Excalibur Marketing Dude wrote:At this point we are not offering the new riser as an accessory.

Well,
i am sure glad i asked this question;
thanks to all that replied and made suggestions, i appreciate all and any comments, also special thanks to Peter The EXCALIBUR DUDE.
I have one more question before i continue, can the carved limbs not be used with the forward ( NEW ) riser?
That being asked, i think i would be willing to cough up around $ 125.00 to $150.00 CDN, for the riser.
Any idea what poundage and fps i would get after modifications on my old VIXEN and EXOMAG?
Daniele.
