Re: Vixen & Vixen II Fans?
Not yet. I have purchased the 100 grain Snuffer SS heads, but I am having to purchase another target for Broadhead Testing!! I am looking forward to seeing the "Proof in the Pudding".

Re: Vixen & Vixen II Fans?
Finally got some off time from work and honey do's. I recently mounted my new Vari-Zone on my new Vixen II and I am quite pleased with the performance. It was hitting quarter dots at 50 yards with Easton FireBolts and 100 grn field tips. I have decided to just use the standard Dacron string. I love ...

Re: Excalibur buy-out by Bowtech
I was away from the forum during the Bowtech purchase of Excalibur. The one major problem I have noticed on the forum since the bowtech take over are lots of folks having problems with the newer model bows breaking down on them on the message board. This didn't happen as much with the tried and true...

Re: Expandable Broadheads & the Vixen II
Thanks for the input fellas. I have a lot of time behind traditional recurves, vertical compounds, and crossbows but getting opinions from your peers seems to help with the tough choices. I have decided to not go with expandables with my Vixen. I have chosen to give the cut on contact Magnus Snuffer...

Expandable Broadheads & the Vixen II
How many Vixen users are shooting expandables and what has been your experiences with the (Front Deploying Type) as far as penetration, deflections, pre-mature blade deployment if any, that sort of thing. I will be launching Firebolts at around 280 FPS. I had previously used a Exomax with double ban...

Re: What's the most reliable Excal?
This is a easy question to answer if you approach it logically. The hunting bow with the fewer parts to replace and the less stress on the bow structure is the VIXEN II. I like the original Excalibur Bow principle K.I.S.S.

Magnus Snuffer SS
I am ordering some of the Snuffers in 125 grain. Going to do some testing but I believe performance should be nice out of the Vix

Re: Vixen & Vixen II Fans?
Fellas, Thanks for the real world experience and testimony. I used to hunt with a Exomax which was utterly awesome with double banded Wasp Jac-Hammers 13/4 cut. As some of you pointed out the Vix isnt as powerful as its big brothers but there is always a trade off. I know my main priority is flight ...
