Default got my phoenix

Got it today and sighted it in. Shoots great. I have had x bows before so it didn't take long to get back in the groove. I was pleasantly suprised to see the wasp boss broadheads shot exactly like my field points. Just wondering how much the string will stretch in this first few days? This is my first recurve x bow. I hope to take it out with me saturday morning. I will shoot tomorrow again after work. Thanks, Brad

I had to make afew adjustments with the string on my Vortex....I think over time the stretch just slows down.

I got a doe with my regular bow a few weeks back but now its time for a x bow buck. My friend hunted in my stand tuesday and drew back on a 10 point but he spooked a doe and they took off. I was glad to hear that. That 10 points saving himself for me I guess. On a side note I stripped out a dissapator pad while putting it together. No big deal. I'll just have to order one. In the mean time it seems to be staying put and not making and noise so it should be fine.

They should give you a heads up on how easy it is to strip out the disipator pads. Or I was advised and did not heed the warning.
My rule of thumbhas always been to tighten stuff up pretty good. OOPS..

appreciate your sense of honesty, but it doesn't matter. When I dry fired my Phoenix one too many times, I called Danny to buy a set of limbs. Didn't happen, they warranty every problem, your fault or theirs. Call him, tell the truth and enjoy the experience, lol.
