I'm impressed you managed to get 29.5" to full draw

And no bow press!!  No screw hidden behind the limb...what a novel concept. :o

That's groundbreaking innovation Rad. Never seen before in the industry :P

Odd thing is neither Hoyt or Bowtech sell bow presses.  You would think that two companies that could never figure out how to place a cam screw that wasn't hidden behind a limb would have capitalized on bow press sales :chuckle:

 I forgot to mention how much better this year's hat is than last year's hat.  Almost worth the price of the bow.

Buy a $1,000 hat and get a bow for free.  SWEET!!


Buy two and get a free carbon pretzel that's as fast as a five year old on a Big Wheel :IBCOOL:

You know I'm not a big fan of 6" brace height bows.  But, I do admit there are situations where they can produce a significant enough advantage that they become viable or even preferred.  Accomplished shorter draw length shooters with a well developed form are definitely one of those situations.  You would certainly fit into that!  Then add the huge improvements found in this years Defiant (carbon & aluminum) and I think an archer like yourself has to seriously consider it.  Especially since you never have a tag left by the time wearing heavy garments becomes an issue! ;) ;)

That to me is where low brace bows lose the most!  That string gets so close to the wrist you really have a constant challenge with clothing.  Heck, I can't where the same jackets I did back in my Hoyt days because of the new shorter 7" brace heights. >:(  One of the reasons I began wearing Sitka Gear even with the horrendous camo pattern was because of the fit at the wrist.  The new Cabela's Instinct Hybrid Puffy looks like it might be a good option.

If Hoyt would drop their bow prices to a modest fortune a guy could benefit from buying two of them.  One for early season and one with a high brace for late season.

I've only had 6" brace bows since 08.  Oops never mind scratch that I shot the alphamax 35"  for a few years.  Witch was 6 3/4 or 7.  that's the bow that made me start liking the longer ATA bows.  Short bows feel odd to me now.

Alphamax was a Witch!  Temperamental *itch at least.  Love it today hate it tomorrow love it again the day after that.  A lot like the UltraTec. :chuckle: 

Maybe one of these days Hoyt will produce a 35-36" bow with a smooth cam that shoots speeds equivalent to the competition.  With the new riser and the new cable guard system they really should be able to achieve that without robbing shootability and adding 20 pounds to the physical weight.  If Bowtech and Xpedition could achieve it with the Specialist and Perfexion, Hoyt should be able to do it if they really wanted to.  And they could probably figure out how to do it in a model made for the height challenged. That might be a bow worthy of the price!

Why not pick the hyperedge in a neutral color? Would just have to get used to loading a BH through the shoot through riser...

Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake

All of our bows work well, the new ones are just so shiny though

Back when York came out with the STS guys thought threading the needle on each shot while hunting wouldn't be all that bad.  We sure sold a lot of strings back then - Boing, Doing, Crack...Ah SHEEP!!  Was good for business!  :chuckle:
