Probably, but it's pretty quiet w/o them.

thanks. I'm trying to decide between the phoenix and the vixen. I hate to say it but I think I'm only leaning towards the phoenix cause of the camo. I know the vixen has plenty of speed and punch. It would be a lot easier on my tight wallet too.

Yup youcan sure put them on one. The Phoenix is about $40 more and maybe 20 fps faster and realtree camo does look good to the eye.[8D]

yeah I was just looking around. 40 bucks ain't too much more for a little speed and a nice camo paint job.

well I went ahead and ordered the phoenix. Thanks for the help. I'll let you know how I like it. Hope to be using it next weekend. I'll be using my regular bow till then. I'm not new to crossbows so It shouldn't take me long to get setup and sighted in with broadheads.

They're really nice and you made a good choice. The Vixen is really only a 30 yd. shooter because of the slower speed. I hunt where most of my shots are 30 yds. or less
