The phoenix is probably the best bow ive ever shot lol. I own one now and love it, the trigger is one of the best, not too light but just right. Also, the accuracy is amazing, you can literally hit the back of the last arrow you shot at 50 yards with the varizone scope and a steady hand (thats why you have multiple bullseyes lol). The vixen is probably the same just a lil slower, i never shot it but heard only good things about it. You can go wrong with an excal xbow!!!
