Do you have the Excalibur® Phoenix crossbow or have you had a chance to shoot one? How does a recurve crossbow stack-up against a compound crossbow? Tell others how you like the Phoenix crossbow by leaving a comment below.

Buy Excalibur® Phoenix with “Lite Stuff” Package – $629.99

The review for the Excalibur Phoenix Crossbow was provided by Wayne G. Thanks for the review Wayne.

Outdoorsman Review for the Excalibur Crossbow:

I have used this Crossbow for the last 2 seasons. Very fast bow. Once you get the scope sighted in, it is dead on. I shoot up to 40 yards with this bow and have confidence with my shots. This package comes with everything you need. Just a few shots and I was ready to hunt. I use it in my tree stands and in my ground blind.

I plan to use it next year during turkey season. I added a sling to my bow so I could hike in to my stand. Have taken 4 does and one nice 8 point with this bow so far. None over 30 yards. But this bow is deadly. If you are thinking about a crossbow, then give this one a look.

Manufacturer’s Specs for the Phoenix:

  • Velocity: 305 feet per second
  • Draw weight: 175 pounds
  • Power stroke: 14.5 inches
  • Mass weight: 6.3 pounds
  • Overall length: 37.5 inches
  • Arrow length: 20 inches
  • Arrow weight: 350 grains
  • Traditional stock
  • Finish: Realtree Hardwoods HD™

Excalibur’s Phoenix crossbow proves once and for all that good things come in small packages!  Using the 175 lb. forward mounted limb system, the Phoenix stores more energy into a smaller crossbow than ever before possible, producing velocities in excess of 305 feet per second with a power stroke of only 14.5 inches. The Phoenix is ideal for smaller stature hunters or those who appreciate the advantages of hunting with a compact, lightweight crossbow, but don’t want to sacrifice hitting power or trajectory. Each Phoenix comes decorated in Realtree Hardwoods HD camouflage using the amazing Kolorfusion process for the ultimate in realism and detail, is drilled and tapped for Excalibur’s scope and quiver mounts, and features their fiber optic sight.  To fully equip your Phoenix with everything you will need for successful hunting, perfectly matched to your crossbow, add their “RIGHT STUFF” package.

The Phoenix crossbow is available with the “Lite Stuff” accessory package, including everything you need to get started with your new crossbow. The “Lite Stuff” package includes Excalibur’s famous Varizone multiplex crossbow scope plus mounting rings and base for multi-range accuracy, 4 Firebolt lightweight carbon arrows with points, 4 arrow quiver and mounting bracket to safely and securely hold your arrows, and a rope cocking aid for easy, precise string alignment.

The review for the Barnett® Jackal Crossbow was provided by Betty from somewhere in Arkansas. Betty hunts deer with the Jackal. I guess that we can’t say that it was reviewed by a master Outdoorsman but by a master Outdoorswoman.

Have you used the Barnett® Jackal Crossbow? Do you like it as much as Betty does? Leave your comments for the Jackal Crossbow below.

Buy Buy the Barnett® Jackal Crossbow

This crossbow also features Barnett’s New ADF MIM trigger providing for a smooth 3.5 lb. trigger pull and the added benefits of a picatinny rail.

Outdoorsman Review:

I bought a Barnett Jackal Crossbow, and so far, I love this bow. I haven’t found anything wrong with it! It is really my first crossbow, and only the 2nd to shoot. The arrows really zing, and shoot hard and fast. I did a lot of research before buying, and this is a great bow. I am a 60 year old female and can cock this fine with a rope cocker. Of course, I don’t consider myself to be the average 60 year old woman.

Betty wasn’t incredibly long winded with her review of the Jackal which probably is a good thing. Sometimes you have more to say about something when you don’t like it. This is probably a testament to how good the Jackal performs.
