I'd go with a phoenix because of our state's 200 pound draw weight limit, The exocet is 225 i do believe? you might want to tone down the 45 yards down to 40 max. you can buy an accudraw and dan miller will install it for you. The stryker is a huge chunk of money that is brand new, there are bound to be some bad things that happen with them because there hasnt been any time to work out the bugs yet. The only problem with having a higher draw weight is that you have to look for your arrow farther after it passes through the deer[8D]
