Hoyt Vectrix bow

[Elk Hunter]

I have one. A far shooting, not much differance between the vectrix and alpha max, other than wight. I finally did my upgrade from a 97 Martin Fury to the Vectix it was a great move, althogh before the Fury it was a Martin Couger speedflight and I do think back sometimes on how many animals I killed with a slow and very forgiving bow.    All that said, the Alpha Max is their flagship bow this year and that means it has the flagship price   Like others stated the Superhawk or Powerhawk would be worth a look, I think both even come ready to shoot.   Good luck, Its almost as bad as upgrading a cellphone there is always one better next year

Picked up the Turbo Hawk.  Fast, quiet, very little vibration.  Having a little trouble getting good arrow flight out of the biscuit.  Can't put 3 arrows into the same spot at 20.  Have tried moving things around.  Going to check with the shop and see if they think the Carbon Express CX300's are a stiff enough shaft for this bow set at 66 lbs, 29" with 100 grain muzzy heads.  Need to dial in a good flight, no fish tail or cork-screw and get the sights set so I can get to some serious practice.  Just under 6 weeks till the elk opener.

Congrats CleElum! Never had much luck with a Hoyt and a Biscuit, never could get my Vectrix to shoot good with one. Switched it over to a TT fall away and I was in the money. Did AS& J hook you up?

Did you buy the right size biscuit? 

[Austrian Hunter]

Jbar, nice find.  Might have to run to AS&J and check it out if he has one.  Was hoping to keep the budget under $600 ready to shoot, but might be worth stretching things a little.  The more I save on the bow, the more I get to spend on a tree stand or some clutch upgrades on the Msled.

Brandon from As&J will take good care of you!!!  This is where I got my Vulcan.  He is honest and know his stuff!!!!

SS if you're asking me about the WB size, yes I did. Not sure what the problem was ( probably me ).

[cle elum bowhunter]

Yes, Brandon at AS&J set me up.  Looks to be the right biscuit.  Gonna check my arrow spline stiffness and make sure.

Let us know how it turns out! I'm actually going to be in Yakima this weekend, I might try to drop in and check out AS&J.

Nice shop, better than Hooked on Toys in Wenatchee at least.  Buddy thinks my bad groupings may be due to Helical fletching instead of straight with the biscuit.  Going down to AS&J tomorrow and see if we can diagnos things.  Have to work Saturday at the Fire house and with it being Seafair, hoping I get some overtime on Sunday and get some more play money.  Debating a pop-up blind vs a tree stand for elk this year.

I have some friends that clean up on elk with a bow using tree stands in the early season.  Out of five guys they got 3 cows and a 6x6 with a bow.  Although I see on tv pop up blinds are used to good effect.  That's also on private property and the blind has been there awhile, so I don't know if a blind all of a sudden somewhere would spook the elk
