RE: A survey on the Relayer
I'd like to see them offer the Vixen with the gray riser & rail and black limbs & stock.........
Or any of the Excals for that matter.
The camo finish on my Phoenix doesn't seem to be as durable as the old black finish (paint?) on the Vixen I had years ago, so I'm not sure I buy the argument the camo was used because it's more durable.
I'm no bowmaking expert, but I know black fiberglass laminations are used on some traditional bows. If they can make black lams, why couldn't they make solid black limbs???? No finish but maybe a clearcoat (matte).
Or any of the Excals for that matter.

RE: A survey on the Relayer
Danny Miller ixnayed my plans to paint a pair of my camo limbs. Not a durable idea according to him, but he offered to get me a set of unpainted from factory, now I just gotta find out if there's a spray paint that won't flake off. Any ideas guys?? Any bids on cobbled limbs for spares???? lololol.

I hate saying it but the Vixen limbs may end up to be the best limbs for this project.

, they also made black Vixen limbs with mag tips.
