Lowest draw weight or length

[Lucky-Dog]

Very long time customer. Ive had about 3 Vixens and maybe 4 Phoenix through the years.
I stopped deer hunting myself several years ago to focus on our two sons hunting but now they have moved on with their lives.
I still have my oldest sons Phoenix and he said that I can sell it or keep it.
The problem is that a few years ago I was injured in my right arm and I recently tried but I cant pull the Phonix all the way back but I come so close, within about two inches (yes the most difficult part). If Im not mistaken the Phoenix is 14-1/4" stroke with 175 lbs pull.
So what new models are included just below the old Phoenix model in terms of specs (draw weight / power stroke) that you think I might could pull back ?
If Im reading the sales info correctly then the MATRIX GRZ2 is my only next option right ?

I thought about that but would really like to be able to draw back without it first if possible but thanks just the same.
I will keep that as an option if all else fails.
Thanks

Im sorry but I didnt see that one listed on their webpage but I searched a different way and now I see that.
Thanks for the help.
I guess Im going to have to make a trip to the big city someday soon if they have any of these models in stock and try them.
At least now I know what to ask for.

Talk to Danny Miller. Excalibur is selling a target now that should suit your needs and Danny has bought some of them. They were built with European rules in mind that requires a bow to be hand cocked.

Now thats ironic. I was just sitting here looking to see if I still have his number on my phone and I do.
I might just give him a call.
Thanks

Have you tried shortening the cocking rope?

Yes I did, as short as I could handle it, but thanks for the suggestion just the same.

See if anybody wants to trade you a vixen rail for your pheonix rail...Ron

You could have the Phoenix rail shortened one inch and turn it into a Vixen. 150 pound draw.

I would buy a charger As it can be used with either hand as you said it is your right hand that does not work the C2 is right hand crank I have the same problem as ms has pretty much taking my arm/hand strength away so I use the charger on my Matrix 330 as well as my Grz2 . I talked to Danny Miller And he said the charger crank can be retro fitted to any Excalibur Crossbow .

Danny miller can cut your rail shorter give him a call.
