These bows are really 3 bows in 1. Keep the compound limbs for a very powerful bow. Or bolt on standard limbs and you have an Exomag (185 pound draw wt version I believe). Or bolt on light limbs and you have an Exomag Light (about 150 pounds draw wt, same as the Vixen).

I'm not sure you'd get 185lbs by mounting straight limbs on the MAX/paradox rail. These bows have 13.5 in draw length............you have a machine with about the same specs as the vixen.

Yep with a 13.5" draw/power stroke would be closer to a Vixen....

You need the prod and a 16" rail to convert the Paradox/Maxpoint to a Emag, it also cleans up the hole in the old rail.

Sorry but you are mistaken. The 13.5" draw length is due to the compound limb setup being much longer than the recurve limb setup. I just measured my Vixen and my Maxpoint. On the Vixen the distance from the back of the riser to the latch is 15". On the Maxpoint the distance from the back of the riser to the latch (with recurve limbs mounted) is 17". The Maxpoint with recurve limbs is definitely no Vixen!

I think the recurve limbs should be longer than the compound limbs and when strung the stroke should be shorter using recurve limbs. Correct me if I am wrong.

Recurve limbs are wider than compound limbs, but compound limbs are considerably longer (because of the wheels and cable assembly) than recurve limbs. This means that for a given stock and rail assembly, the stroke is longer with the recurve limbs than the compound limbs. Even though the stroke of the Maxpoint/Paradox is considerably shorter than the recurve limbs, the ingenious design of the Maxpoint/Paradox allows it to reach maximum draw weight very early in the stroke compared to the recurve limbs, which is more linear.

Maybe so. But the Maxpoint is all the crossbow you'll ever need for anything on this planet that you'd ever want to shoot with a crossbow. And show me another bow that's "3 bows in one". As I have said before, this bow is a tribute to the genius of Bill T, a true classic.

Well your right on the Maxpoint 17" I reckon as I do not have one to measure and 17" with the Excalibur prod would be like a MAX. However my Vixen measures 14" from the back of the riser too the latch....
