New bow help

[WonkyWapiti]

I was checking the Hoyt website again after your last post Hoytstaff and good thing I did.  I didn't realize the Trykon Jr went down to 10 lbs.  That may be the bow I end up getting my daughter.  I have some more research to do.

Wonky,   How old is your daughter. You might of said but I did not pay attention. I have a 4 year old and a three year old. The 4 year old is getting a little fred bear recurve bow (cheapo). he has been talking about it since the cricket single shot he got during easter. He loves to shoot with dad!!!! Hopefully he will like to shoot the bow too.

they have been around longer, but not making compounds the whole time, dont you recall the break in the mid 90's till about 2000? hoyt was still spittin em out, I guess you can count bear/jennings.. but I wouldnt.....one day brent one day you will see why your $330 bow is not the same as a upper end bow.. on so many levels really.........

You wouldn't count when Fred Bear started out making archery products? And my $330 bow is actually a $650 bow, but I only paid $274 for it. How does that compare to your special Hoyt pricing.

well lets see, my min $900 alphamax I paid 489 for.. so you tell me?

[WonkyWapiti]

She is 11 but doesn't have alot of upper body strength.  I had her trying a 20 lb Parker and she couldn't do it.  I'm sure if I worked with her on her body mechanics I could get her to do the 20.  I see the Trykon Jr starts at 10 lbs which is a lower weight than the Menace.  I like the idea of an easy pull for her so she doesn't get discouraged and can work up.  She has gone out bowhunting with me the last couple years and wants her own bow so badly.  She has been shooting a cheapo kids stick bow that I bought her two years ago and she has been shooting the loaner bows at the local range.

I did not know it went that low, if so how can you go wrong, also like I said focus on the muscles utilized in drawing a  bow

[WonkyWapiti]

Does anyone know if I can swap out the limbs on the Trykon Jr as I have a need for her to increase her weight, ie starting out at 10-20, swap out to 20-30, then swap out to 30-40, etc etc?

[Hoytstaffshooter83]

you can as far as I know but it will just coast you a new set of limbs

Wonky ,that is cool, I love to see kids so interested in hunting. That is the only way we can pass it on!!!

I also forgot to say that the $900 is the average for a stock 32 or 35.. the one I paid $489 for is not stock............    mathematically it looks like my deal was just a little better on a much much much x15  better bow

[fc2038]

You saying you got one for 489 loaded. If so WOW that was a steal!!! Wouldn't pass that one up

[Hoytstaffshooter83]

yes I got my custom alphmax 35 for 489.. its nice to have the ability to do so, I also got my ingnite 7 pin for undern 70 bucks..... Pro forms are great

With those numbers you paid 54% of retail and I paid 42% of retail. Yep, you got the better deal. 

[Hoytstaffshooter83]

Indeed I did, but acutually the bow the way I ordered it was more in the 11-1200 range so that number would be more inflated

[Antlershed]

So it comes out about the same. At $1160 you would have paid 42% of retail.
