That is a very personal question, that you can only answer for yourself. It come down to how much draw weight you are comfortable with. Also some perfer the thumbhole, myself included, and some like the feel of the traditional stock. Basically you need to try out a couple of models if you have a place to do so. Acurracy is great no matter which one you choose.

As all have stated it is a personal choice . For the most part they are all accurate . Where the accuracy suffers is with alot of practice on the heavier bows because of fatigue .
All the bows are good at putting an arrow through a deer , just comes down to how far into the ground do you want to bury the arrow .

no miss vixen is the best,

like all have said Excals are accurate. just pick the stock type that is most comfortable to you. the longer the rail the more weight is forward. just changes balance abit cause none are really heavy or nose heavy to start with.

My favorite is the Y-25/Ecet followed by the Vixen.

They are all top quality and accurate!
As for best, it depends on your intended use. If you're hunting big game heavier draw weights have the advantage of more energy to the arrow. For medium & small game accuracy & ease of use can be a factor to be considered.
Then there's what I think my Phoenix is - a compromise model. Plenty of power for deer sized game, but still small/light enough to hunt small game & target shoot with.

This much I know, it would NOT be a model with a thumbhole stock! If God had wanted us to have thumbhole stocks he would have created Black Walnut trees with holes through them!

I'm new to CBs and right now find I'm very happy with my Exocet 200. Come PA archery deer season and I miss one it'll of course be the Exocet's fault and be time for a different model.

Take care...

The best one is the one you happen to be shooting at the time. They are all good! That is one of the nicest things about Excalibur.

i have found after watching years of hunter with all different bows that the two hundred lb bows seem to be the most common and the easyest to get to know and shoot .thy can be loaded by hand if need be and are not as hard on strings and such as the big brothers

There is no "BEST" in excalibur.

They all are "EXCELLENT"

I have the 2009 equinox and love the thumbhole stock, but i will love the thumbhole stock even more when i build my wooden one.
