I shoot two now: Phoenix and Vortex; LOVE it's thumbhole stock. It also has the best trigger of the 5 bows I've owned, but it got that way by my working on it. I shoot the Phoenix the most, same POI out to 50 yards using the same aim point in their respective LumiZone scopes. Owned the Equinox too but too much bow for me. More difficult to ****, harsher shot, tough on serving.
IMO the Phoenix/Ibex is the near perfect deer bow at reaosnable ranges (out to 40 yards). If you want just a tad more pop try the
Exocet/Vortex but the relatively small gain in speed (15-20 fps with 400 gr arrow) comes at slightly harder ****ing effort. Do consider getting the Flemish string and a set of STS (string stoppers).
