If I had to choose I would pick the phase 4 over the v3x. It's noticably quieter. Everything else is identical. I just prefer the v3x 29 over the phase 4 33 for hunting. Both solid bows just like the shorter axle to axle moving around the mountains

Some take aways.
1) if you ever actually plan on drawing a tag you better stay in shape until you do. There is no way 3 months will get you where you need to be physically. At least not where I hunted.
2) finding/seeing sheep is hard. If you can find an experienced sheep hunter to go with...
With a shoe breakage so close to the season a new pair had to be found. Ended up with
Zamberlan 980 outfitter gtx rr
