LOL! Dude I can laugh because I have been shooting longer than you have been alive. Hoyt, I was you at 24 too and had every right to be. I was shooting a Ben Pearson Spoiler bow (that was the best and fastest bow at the time) that was set between 85 and 95 lbs at 65% letoff. Most men couldn't even pull it back and I was out shooting the wimps shooting the 25 lb to 50 lb target bows like yours. It was a fact not myth that I would outshoot them. I had 4 robin hoods by the time I was your age and try to avoid them now because it is a waste of money and arrows. I don't have the time to shoot as much as I used to because of family obligations (young kids). BTW I'm also a Engineer so telling me that your $1200 bow is somehow sooooo much better that another bow is complete hogwash, there differences are sooo minute that one cannot judge a bow soley off price, its in the brace height and and cam design I beieve mine is at 7.5" Which is right there with the expensive bows . The technology to build your bow and mine are based on the same principles. No one is saying the Hoyts and Mathews are bad bows, they aren't but saying that because Bear bows are Cheap because they are less expensive or not tight grouping is crap, its all based on brace height and how long the arrow stays on the string before it is let go. So before you get all puffed up and strutting like a peacock check your facts before spewing off about how much YOU know over everybody else. I respect your loyalty to Hoyt but you need to respect others who have been shooting much longer than yourself. I like your spirit though. BTW my 15 yr old son shoots a Hoyt and it is a good bow.
