I have the Phoenix and I absolutely love it. I hunted deer for years with a compound that would only shoot 190fps. Everyone I shot with it was a clean pass through. I have never been one of the speed freaks

Again, good luck on your purchase. We are not saying that the Emax is bad, just really not needed is all. The guys that have one like it, it is just realized that the Exocet and phoenix is all that is needed. If your heart is set on the Emax, you better get it or you may be looking over the fence staring at the greener grass for a long time.

I think I have come to grips with not owning the Emax, my biggest concern was not having to calculate for the faster drop off of a slower crossbow, I now understand that after a certain speed it really has no effect. That, and the fact that a Phoenix and Ecocet are not exactly "slow" Crossbows.
Yesterday evening my son and I went for walk through the bush,I brought my old wooden Astro and he had his fiberglass bow, he is 4. We wanderedour bush for a while following rabbit trails and talking about deer very quietly.. A few minutes later we rounded the bush into a freshly combined corn field and there stood 4 deer. My son took both of his arrows out of backpack and quietly laid them down on the ground beside his bow, leaned against my leg and we stood there for about 20 minutes until the deer moved on.
It's an omen, if in fact omens do exist.

One more question while I have the attention of some of you..
The cold, how does the bow perform in the bitter cold of a Canadian winter? Is it OK to use one of these Crossbows?
