Which bow is most preferred? FEEDBACK WANTED!
Just wondering which bow is the most preferred, the Equinox or the Exomax. I heard some don't like that new thumbhole in the stock?? Does it really make a difference? Not sure which one to go with. Just thought I'd start with getting feedback on them!

Since you are looking at the same size bows, you just need to know if you would prefer the thumbhole or not (shoot 'em and see) and between the Realtree AP or Hardwoods design. I think it will be pretty much even-steven as to what most Excalibur owners like. I will just give a vote for Thumbhole stock. I just like it

I agree with wabi. Being a small stature person I find the Phoenix perfect for my size and will still dispatch any animal I want to hunt.
Try before you buy I guess. Find the one that suits your needs and feels comfortable to you.
It is a personal choice for sure.

The standard stock has my hand/wrist at an uncomfortable angle. The thumbhole feels better for me. If the safety thing is an issue, you could alway attach a rod to the lever that could be activated with the thumb in the hole, or out. I have no problem with the safety. I think it has to do with what you get used to.

hi myself l own 3 excaliburs 2 thumb-hole stocks which are an equinox & a vortex but l have not & do not intend to use the vortex its just one to put a side for a collectible item but l'm sure it & the equinox are very much the same & a y25. for me the y25 fits like a glove & by far is the most accurate of them all from different excaliburs l have shot over time dont get me wrong the equinox is spot on but l guess it just comes down to what suits you best. best regards frank

I went through the same thing. Finally figured that I have always used a standard stock on all my rifles and shotguns and thats what I'm used to. So going by the KISS theory I bought the Exomax. I'm very happy with the bow and don't regret my decision one bit. Regardless of your choice I think from a performance stand point either will be more capable than the shooter. Good luck.

i think that will just depend on the shooter and how you shoot:) I cant find anymore movment that it takes on mine.diesel wrote:I went to see Dan Miller a few weeks ago and he brought up something I had not thought of about the thumb hole stock.
I takes a lot more movement to take the safty off .
Just need to see what you laike best . both bows are Excaliburs so either one will work great.
A simple flip of the safety and its ready with the trigger hand.. it just depends on how you shoot. Ill usually have the safety off when the deer is coming out just to be ready in advance. Its always good to be ready ahead of time
I perfer the thumbhole since I have better control of the bow. I bought a thumbhole for my Muzzleloader for that reason also
I shoot the Ibex Thumbhole, that was one reason that I bought it. I converted my TC Omega to a thumbhole two years ago and I am very pleased with both stocks. I feel I can get a tighter grip pushed in to my shoulder and a straighter trigger pull.
