Default Excals Vortex!

Have any of y'all Vortex shooters/owners shot the Exocet 200? Is there any difference in holding them? I am left handed and wondered about the thumbhole stock. [:-]

I never shot your Exocet but held in a shop once, that was what started to saga for me! LOL!! I can't see how the Vortex would be unfriendly to a left hander. Just went in and grabbed it and sees to shoulder OK with left hand. Never going to do it, but I think it should be OK. You got an itch you need to scratch?

I know the stock is one inch shorter and the Excal site forum said it will work fine. My actual problem is my left shoulder is hurtin big time and either the ball n socket is royally messed up or rotator cuff is torn loose. I bid on a crankaroo to use this hunting season. Imay have to sell my Exocet 200, and get anotherphoenix. Too bad they don't have a thumbhole stocked phoenix. I about pee on myself after about 6th time cocking mine fer practice. I love to shoot it. I have shot at least a 1,000 times this year.[8D]

Skip the phoenix, just get the smaller lighter Vixen. Great little bow.
