Having onlyhad my pheonix for about a year now. (Her birthday is just around the corner). I have to say I am one happy guy with my choice. I wanted something I could maintain myself andthis is the one. I can change the string in five minutes and be back flinging arrows.

Alot of these guys tweak their bows as much for fun as function, but I shootoff the shelf Easton Power Bolts ($4.99)with the same Rocket Steelheads I shoot with my regular compound and like most of my toys they shoot better than I do.

The bow has extended my confidence rangeto 30 yds although in the backyard 40 yds is pretty cake to. I made ranged shots of 22 yds and 31 yds last season and picked up the arrowsoff the ground and walked over to the still warm deer. A fat doe and not a bad buck and those deer sure did not hear the arrow sneaking up on them.. LOL

One thing for sure is that you will get alot of good advise here. Sort thru the droppings and you will be guided well.. >>>>>>Whack!!
