RE: The Jury Is In!!
Dnk: In a word, NO. Won't matter a bit. I've got a personal limit of 30 yds. My three will get that job done easily. The stashed Vixen's owner likes 25 yds better, so I unloaded some odd-ball 442 gr on him. I shot the Vixen w/ stock Excal 350 gr arrows and would not be afraid to go 30 or 35 w/ that set-up. It shoots about the same as the Phoenix w/ 431's. That picture I sent you of the three over 170 bucks, two of them were taken w/ this Vixen, Mal-Wart arrows and mechanicals. Both were pass throughs at an average of about 23 yds. Are you looking for an excuse to get a new xbow? LOL. You'll have to do better than this!! LOL
Actually, I turned my Phoenix into a Vixen performance wise, except I'm shooting a tad heavier arrow. I estimate the k.e. on Phoenix at 78 ft lbs. The Emax is about 104 ft lbs [dang, need that chrony] Edit: Chrony on the way! Cabela's is loading it on a mule now. Boy Howdy, you guys are getting expensive!! LOL
