I love my Phoenix !!!!
I shot my new Phoenix...man what a bow. Topped it with a red dot Leupold,and it's a real tack driver. What a bear to string,had to have my wife stand in the stirrup while my son and I flexed the limbs.
Thanks Excalibur for a great crossbow. Hope to use it this fall to take a deer,that is if Michigan passes the full inclusion bill !!!!!!.

I own a phoenix and I also think its a tack driver. I first had a vari-zone scope on it but changed over to a zeiss z-point( single red dot). I already have 3 robin hoods due to my own foolishness. one with the varizone at 20 yards and 2 with the red dot at 30 yards. I enjoy shooting it very much and I can't wait until NYS or NJ legalizes them for hunting. Got my first kill with it last week when a woodchuck who was careless enough to hang around 3 yards past my 30 yard target. My first 33 yards kill. check out the STS and get yourself a BOO string after you wear out the first one. Enjoy your phoenix.

Welcome to the forum!
The Phoenix is the model I use, too. Tried a couple others, but the Phoenix suits my style of hunting best. Enough velocity, and easy to use.
I use a stringer (slave string) to string the bow, but un-string by hand.
I also use a cocking aid to cock the bow, not because it's too hard to cock by hand, but accuracy can suffer if you get the string off center. With the cocking aid it's perfectly centered every time!

The phoenix
Have used my phoenix to harvest deer the past two years, and that was
before I had a Boo string and an STS system! Even took a quartering
forward deer on an angle you are not supposed to shoot at!! A very
accurate bow shooting at the right speed and for the right price!
