Default Gold Tips

Made up some 350 gr. gold tips for the Vixen Maxpoint and they looked so good I thought I would post a picture.

What's a Vixen Maxpoint?
Wabi, Its a 150lb.maxpoint compound crossbow made on a Vixen frame , I bought it on ebay thinking I had a regular maxpoint ( same as Paradox). Its a sweet little bow at a shade over 6lbs.
I will post a picture later the old lady holloring for supper.

I thought the Maxpoint was builton a longer frame (Exocet or Exomag)?
I'll bet it IS a sweet little bow. I'd like to see the pics.
What was the minimum recommended arrow weight for the maxpoint/paradox?

I think for the regular Maxpoint/Paradox it was 400 gr. This is a new one on me. Suspect it was only a Maxpoint offering not a
Paradox. Would have read about it on Excal if it was a version of the Pdox. Sounds sweet though!!

Wabi here is the picture, Danny Miller is the only one that knew anything about this bow, he still has some limbs for it, it was made around 2002 to 2004, this one shows hardly any wear.

Not a big fan of compound crossbows.............
but I like the looks of that one!!!!!!!!!
How does the string serving hold up on it? I'd bet it's a lot easier on strings than the recurve models, and the trigger pull should be better, too.

Wabi, the serving, string, and cables show very little wear and the trigger pull is much less than the big maxpoint so I think you are right on both counts.
Ijust got the varizone on it today and shot it a few times, its very quite for a crossbow. With a 12 inch power stroke and the vixen frame its very easy to cock and still shoots the 350gr. arrow at 295 fps.
