Hoyt Carbon Element - Finally!!

[Johnb317]

RKT, or Fuel cams?  I have the Fuel .... love the bow, the short valley takes a little getting used to though.
Understand the valley is a little better on the RKT?   
Also... took awhile to get it tuned right after getting new strings.
I  have the Hoyt quiver... no problems with it at all.... only time I'd like to remove it is when on a horse. 

Enjoy

Love the set up

OK.............I'll bite on this one.
I'm shooting a 32 Alphamax.
What is so much better on the Carbon Element with the RKT cams vs the 32 Alphamax?

I can buy a Carbon Element for $1000 and swap over all my goodies.
I'm just curious why I should in your opinion.

They're RKT cams by looking at the picture.

I don't get that the OP is trying to get anyone to switch. He just likes his new bow. I do too. 

As far why is it so much better than yours, I guess you'd have to try both side-by-side to find out. There's a half lb weight difference, which is about 16% and it's made of carbon instead of steel or aluminum. I don't know how that translates to an advantage.

Gave one away a couple weeks age at the High Mountain Archery Challenge ! Steel Arrow Eater competition!

It's way less than 16% once your goodies are mounted on it.
I've shot one but I wanted the original posters opinion of why it's better than the Alphamax.

The draw is smoother for me and I can tell it shoots quite a bit faster.  I can't shoot two of my blocks cause my arrows are going clear thru them and another 40 yds beyond that.  It also feels a bit lighter. Oh, and it looks bad ass!!!
Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with the Alphamax.  Only real reason I did the swap was my buddy is getting into archery and so I sold him my bow. Great excuse to get a new bow.

It's taking all my strength not to buy one.

Very Nice

I will not discourage you from it.    I think you should go for it.  I picked mine up for $950 with the 3pin Fuse Pilot Sight and the QAD drop away.  Only 50 arrows thru it.  It was some guys extra bow.  I did take a chance and bought off Ebay, but it worked out great for me.

I have noticed that my Alphamax seems to want to leave early sometimes.
Feels a little like a roping horse waiting for the chute to open.
At full draw did you notice that the Element was easier to hold with a nice defined valley?

[h20hunter]

I THINK the limbs are the same as on my Spyder.......

I find it easier to hold than my old bow....less jumpy by far.

It is definitely easier to hold than the alphamax.

I'm gonna say absolutely not with mine.  Zero valley, but I've got used to it.
