Default Vortex

Just did a swap with my Exocet 200 for a Vortex. Man this is a far better bow!
Also just got a Vixen Deluxe. All BLACK!

The Vortex is shorter and balances better in my hands than the Exocet 200. It balances so well it feels like it is a couple of pounds lighter. Also being shorter it is easier to cock. The balance in your hands helps off-hand shooting.

Started with an Equinox, nice bow but 'clunky'. Switched to Vortex, MUCH better. Points and shoots well. The former was harsh, perhaps too much power. Vortex much smoother, still deadly accurate, but easier to hold steady.
