New Excal Axiom, or scope the Vixen?
We have an Excal Vixen that my son has used. Thought about scoping that one, as the Excal green "pin" covers up more than the aiming spot on the club's targets at 25 yards. Also noticed that the arrows drop a lot between 25 where it is zeroed, and 30, where it shoots about 6" low. Is there a multi-dot scope that would work on a crossbow as slow as the Vixen seems? The other thought was getting the Axiom package, which seems like a great deal. Only question is, since the Axiom is the same draw wt. and power stroke as the Phoenix, is there a reason that the Axiom is so much less expensive? Would this bow be that much better than a scoped Vixen? Thanks.

Axiom is a Phoenix w/ diff camo and no dissipator bars or pads. The package deal comes w/ a non adjusting [for range] scope, but guys w/ it claim it's right on w/ package deal arrows and bheads.
Were it me, I'd put a V-zone on the Vix.
