Well, Tom, gotta disagree w/ you on this one. Until they brought out the Vortex and Equinox, you were correct. The new thumbhole stocks won't fit the other rails, only the ones that come w/ the two new bows. Gotta hand it to Bill, he'd rather sell new bows than new stocks, lol. I'm 99.9% sure I'm right on this, but would welcome a correction if you find different info than I have.
Well I could be wrong but if my memory is working correctly, last January I read that someone in the office told a member of the Excal site that the only difference in the bows (vortex & exocet) was the thumbhole stock. I did check with someone else, and he told me that he believed that there was some difference in the placement of the trigger mechinism of the two bows that the stocks are not interchangable. I still think that my memory was correct, but that does not mean I was correct since the info I was talking about was prerelease info.
Sorry if I created some confussion.
That's what I remember also. They moved the triggers on thumbhole models which required a different bolt hole pattern for the stocks, hence no interchange w/ previous production models. I'm sure the risers and limbs will switch out like they nearly always have. I'd also bet it's just a matter of time before some nimrod on Excal site modifies one to fit, lol. Those guys take tweakin and fiddlin to new levels!!
