Food for thought, it didnt occur to me to cut down an exsisting bow. How does that modified Grizzly work for you ?snuffbox wrote:Hi there Little Count
I'm in UK and we shoot 3ds in our society.
Range from 1- 70m with most shots being in the 18-35m distance,unmarked.
Our society has a speed limit of 300fps .
Rules dictate recurve bows only so we are restricted to very few bows that we can use
Favourite is the vixen which gets the job done nicely an represents excellent value for money.you may find a butt hook a useful addition to counter the forward imbalance.
Being an avid tinkerer I shortened a matrix to give a 220mm draw which gives a similar performance to a vixen but on a much more compact bow.
Just a thought for you
I will Xcaliber! First some testing this weekend and near future Before I decide.xcaliber wrote:If a 175# Long Limb model suits you, get an aluminum rail Ibex, Phoenix, or Axiom. The longer limb models are very accurate, easy to draw, and very easy on strings. The 200# Vortex is really easy to draw as well, and bargains are out there too. Post Back when you decide, it would be great to hear what you decided on, and hear how you like it.
Good Luck!
Galamb:
Many thanks for your insight on the Vixen II. Soon I know how the stock leangth suites me. I am not very big like you I am 178 cm with pretty normal disposition on my arms I Think. The lesser stress on the limbs is an excellent Point and Another benefit/merit to the Vixen for sure, especially when shooting a lot.

I will most certainly look into a level bubble! Really apreciate your help/expertise/insight into what goes into beeing a accurate marksman.
Have you played around with comps erlier or Always hunted ? Just curious to know a bit more about you.
