RE: Making a decision on
personally if i wanted the 200 lb the vortex would be my choice. pro's it has great power it has hand/thumbhole stock to pull into shoulder. its the same length for cocking as the phoenix and almost the same weight. the peep sighted in at 25 yds is great. where i hunt in a thicket i use a scope reason i need to avoid limbs. where i am moving to its more open woods and i will use peep for the weight saving
