Well--at this time I am going to try and get some-- [extra]-spare parts-----for what I now have.
Extra limbs ,[mag tips] yoke to hold limbs[forward];and who knows what else I hope I can find.
Big John has my arrow supply full [maybe].Might get more aluminum for stumping etc.
Who knows ?----------- :lol: :lol: :lol: .

Possibly going in another direction----due to my age and physical size and stuff
am maybe thinking of one of the forward riser 175 pounders.
This would probably suit me longer when old age arrives :lol: .
I am not sure which one yet but the aluminum risered Phoenix is starting to look better and better.
No decision yet.

Update---I now have an ambidextrous stock for my Y25 if I decide to use it.

Which means I will have an Exocet 200 and a backup with the same specs in my Y25.

which will probably never get used.

Of course I have my Vixen with the mag limb tips--which I hope will be my go to bow this year.

Now to wait and see what Excalibur does next.

Because we can! I agree 100% None of us need to, but most of us want to :D :D :D If I were hunting with rocks, I'd be looking for the fastest, heaviest rock I could heave, and when I reached my limit, I would be looking for a tool to throw them harder and faster, and when I reached that limit, I would be looking at throwing pointy sticks...harder and faster, harder and faster, until I got to my Matrix 380 and that would be fine until the Matrix 400 came out and...you get the picture :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Happy Hunting!!!

My 1994 Exocet 165 does complete pass-thrus on deer and shoots more accurately than I'm capable of aiming. What more could I want?! :D

I have the same rifle, my only deer rifle, from 35 years ago . . .let's just say, I don't upgrade very often. :lol:

However, I'd upgrade in a second if I wasn't so darn accurate with the weapons I have.

Good one Vix . . lust is the right term.
I'd rather wear out than rust out.
