New bows

[Commando]

When do the new bows typically get released? I am going tonget a new bow soon and was just wondering when the new ones will be able to be purchased. Hoyt more specifically.

Kinda like cars the nexts years model usally comes out the year before. Sometimes it takes awhile to get them. 2016 hoyts are pretty great bows. The defiant. I have 2 of them right now and i would recommend shooting them. When the 2017 bows show up. They will cheapen up.

Normally they release them in the November/December time frame. Bowtech never unveils there flagship bow till the ATA show in January.

From what I hear hoyt isn't changing much for 2017. I'm seeing most will release before ata but company's do wait tell the ata for the flagship normally.

thanks guys. ive got my eye on a carbon defiant. ill prob get it after the first of the year.

Best bet for a Carbon bow is to wait till the 2017's are released then pick up a 2016 model from archery talk for nearly half the price of a new 2017 model.

What is the general opinion of the carbon defiant vs the regular defiant? I like the looks of both but have a hard time stomaching the extra five hundred for the carbon. If it's worth it though I will save and get it

I shot both a good amount before just buying the standard. The carbon is not worth the weight difference to me in the price point. If I was going light the pse air was a better feeling light weight bow.

The vibration in the carbon also pushed me away from it. Even with a good stabilizer I was still getting more then I care for in a bow. My aluminum defiant has no vibrations and shoots like a dream.

Don't think I'd get the carbon not worth the wait or extra cash.
