The excal bow are all good and except forrail length and poundage the Phoenix is about the same as my Exocet which is the best unless you need a crank cocker then I would consider a ten point. If you intend to use a rope cocker then you need to be 6 foot+ for the Exomag and the Exocet and I am not sure about the Phoenix but my guess would be that 5"10 " could handle it comfortable. I looked for 6 months last year befor I bought mine and the superstore was by far the best price I found. Hope this helps. Lee
