Vixen II
Varizone Scope
Firebolts with 150 grain Boltcutters

Keep the Vixen!!

You don't need rail lube... just keep it clean. The string will need to be waxed from time to time though. Congrats on your 380!

I have been eyeing that bow for a while now... give it a couple of good workouts and let us know what you think.

Yep... 280 fps on a 375 grain arrow is plenty of KE for my X-Act broadheads. They should shoot right through a deer.

That 's a good looking Vixen!

So 290 fps is about as fast as I've seen from a Vixen... is that all coming from the string?

And... how do you like the string dampeners on the Vixen?

I love the Hunting the Backwoods guys... I look forward to their return on the Sportsman Channel each year.

If you love Excalibur Crossbows I don't how you don't like this show!

No Problem at all...

I'll be shooting a 100 grain X-Act off of stock Firebolts out of my Vixen II this year for deer.

I have no doubts they will be stuck in the ground after going through the deer.

Very cool hunting story!! Thanks for telling it to us...

Very nice! I'll be shooting the X-Acts out of my Vixen II this deer season.

August 15th for me... it will be good and hot though

I'll go along with you on a big boar hog... but for SC deer. The Vixen will shoot the Swhacker clean through and stick in the dirt.

I'll have some pics for you come August...

Man,,, I really love this little bow. Sighted in with a 100 grain point... super accurate! It's driving the Firebolts deep into my 3D deer at 20 and 30 yards. I've got several 100 gain broadheads ready to go for deer and hogs... I think I'll go with either the crossbow Swhackers or Grim Reaper's thi...

I just bought a Vixen II in like new condition... I think this is going to be a smooth little killer!

Thanks guys!
