Need everyones input
« on: October 15, 2012, 06:51:38 PM »
So i just went to bobs in longview and shot the hoyt vector 32 and the mathews helium. Both sweet bows but thats the problem i cant decide witch one i want. The mathews was alittle smoother and lighter but after bragging up hoyt for my archery career im not sure i can switch to a different company. The hoyt was not as smooth but i think it looks cooler and the grip is alot nicer i feel like it holds better on target and maybe alittle faster. I need some experienced archers advice...what would you go with

Are you dead set on those two bows? Have you tried a Bowtech? My favorite for sure.  :twocents:

I shot both those bows this year before I bought the Helium.  I have shot Mathews forever and I agree 90% with your discription of both, only exception being the hoyt is ugly and I didn't care for the grip (probably because I have shot with mathews forever).  I also did / do not have a problem holding the Helium on target and I think they both IBO about the same.  Ok....I don't thing 90% was accurate maybe 50% cause I do agree the Mathews is lighter and smoother  :chuckle:.   I did not like the vibration of the hoyt following the shot either.  I am extremely happy with my helium and am still a dihard mathews fan.  Good Luck.

By your user name I would have guessed what you would have picked! :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

The 2 are about equal in my mind. Both decent bows.

Have you tried the z7extreme?  I think it is better than helim.  I liked the hoyts but felt z7x was smoother and quieter.  Sorry but not a Bowtech fan anymore.  Customer service poor.
MAGA!  Again..

Blow techs really?  :puke: :pee: :bdid: . Stick with the Hoyt. Matthews are ok but nothing beats Hoyt's durability and customer service.
If we were supposed to be vegetarian God would have made broccoli more fun to shoot!
"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?

Take a trip to Archery world in Vancover wa, they are one of the best shops around and have all the bows there and the staff can give you a hand picking out the right one.
