Re: New limbs for Phoenix

Bob - I'm limited to 300fps by the association I shoot in - all the targets on my club course are fairly soft and only around 20% of them stop the Phoenix, I ta not a case of not wanting to shoot the Phoenix as it comes but a limitation based on where I shoot - I have targets at home that stop it ju...

New limbs for Phoenix

I have a Phoenix that I used for Field Archery here in the UK, however it rips right through the vast majority of target bosses on most field courses - is it possible to buy Lowe poundage limbs to for the Phoenix ? Something around 125lb would be perfect.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Phoenix Slow Mo

Hey Tom how are you ? I'm using the Excalibur Firebolt carbon arrows with 100 grain tips at the moment, as I only shoot 3D I need to keep as close to our society's limit of 300fps as I can. They come in at 365 grains and that gives me a consistent 288 fps :D As ever they are expensive in europe, eac...

Re: Phoenix Slow Mo

I used a casio EXF1 camera to shoot the video at 1200fps and then slowed it down with software to emulate being shot at 2400fps.

Re: Phoenix Slow Mo

Only requirement to buy a crossbow is being 18+ no registration required, I bought the bow from a German dealer (http://www.aiacrossbow.com/) but no takes or import duty as its a sale within the european union.
