RE: Vortex
I will not shoot any of my crossbows without them now. When we were at Dan's place I dry-fired the bow and Dan and Mike and I think Alton were yapping away and the noise did not get their attention. Dave(Xbowking) was slack-jawed in amazement. After the shot I was looking for my arrow in the target. The noise isn't much more than a normal shot. This is a positive indication that the STS absorbs the excess energy on a dry-fire which should help in protecting the bow limbs. The noise factor is a big thing for me. I hear loud noises all day and don't want to hear the annoying noise of a crossbow without silencing efforts when I am not at work.
.....Where did you get yours Don ?.

RE: Vortex
just out of curiousity is it possible to swap a standard stock on a pheonix with a thumbhole stock? from what I understand most excal parts are the same and/or interchange but I'm not sure about the standard/thumbhole stocks...
if it is possible does anyone know where a guy could buy a stock and what they run?
