While I don't know much if any about the Horton, I can tell you alot about my Phoenix. Of my three Excals, it's my "go to" bow. It's hard to beat for $349, [bare bow]

Htoler: The only downside to the Acudraw 50 is it's committed to just one bow, where a rope cocker will fit lot of different bows.

Awshucks,Thank you, I am still tempted by the Exoset held off at the last minet to think about it any comment?
My poor old 10pt is get close to 20yrs so I need one to shoot while I get it rebuilt[ that the excuse I gave the wife anyway] looks like it worked. Lee

Lee: I've got the Phoenix and the Emax for recurves and a Paradox. Don't know much about the Ecet, other than what I read. I'd say this, if you're gonna shoot it alot, go w/ the Phoenix, that 175 lbs is a breeze w/ a rope cocker. If you are mainly gonna just hunt w/ it, get the Ecet, as you can change the Ecet to a Phoenix via Excel string and heavier than stock arrows. I'm not sure what the physical differences are in weight and length, but am sure others here do know. I'm just partial to the Phoenix, it's a sweet bow and if I think I need more oomph, I've got either the Pdox or the Emax to go to. Hard for me to be real objective in my situation, but if I could only keep one of the three, it would be the Phoenix.

Well i had the Phoenix and it was a nice CB fer all around use. I have traded it fer the Exocet 200 and i like my end of the trade very well. I like it so well i don't need to buy another Excal the rest of my life, figure it will last me the next 43 years til i am a 100! It has the speed and flat traj. that i went back to using a rifle scope, its good to 40 yds. just using the xhair! [8D]
