Dnk: no, don't need press, Pdox is all I got w/ wheels, so I put a 10 pt. string on it. Ought to be good for several lifetimes according to Htoler and Randy, lol. Just kidding Randy. I don't shoot it that much anyhow, that sucker gets heavier every time I pick it up. Actually, I just can't help picking up the Phoenix every time I go to shoot. I leave the house intending to shoot the Emax or Pdox, but she just jumps up into my hands! Light but lethal, delicate but deadly!! I'm hoping to take a doe w/ all three so I can see which one tastes the best! lol
