You go girl!! I just had my first experience w/ Ecet. Put one together and sighted it in for a bud. All I can say is WOW!! Kinda like a happy medium between the Phoenix and the Emax. Having both of the previous, my impression was it cocked more like a Phoenix than the Emax, but shot more like the Emax than the Phoenix, if that makes any sense, lol. Three of us ended up shooting at a farmers match head at 20 yds, offhand, I came in 2nd, but was drin..... nevermind, lol. The video says wax, Danny Miller, the US warranty rep says waxing is not needed, just softens the sereving matl, I'm about 200 shots into some HD tersting and can see no ill results from not using anything on string serving or rail so far. my gal pal can't cock my Phoenix w/ rope cocker, so I got her a Crankaroo. Be glad you don't need one, lol.
