Funny PSE didn't make the list...
Who do you think sells the most bows annually?

They sell the most cause they don't last more than one season :chuckle:
If we were supposed to be vegetarian God would have made broccoli more fun to shoot!
"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?

How come hoyt has the only carbon bow which is stronger and quieter and lighter than any other bow on the market. I would like to see all you other guys run your bows over with a full size pickup and then go elk hunting same day. But unless your shooting a hoyt u probably wouldn't hit anything anyway... :tung: :chuckle:

I like the way Hoyt claims to be the first with a carbon riser when High country had one in 08 called the 4 runner.  I do not feel the need to run over my Bowtech with my truck but it has fallen out of the tree a couple of times, did a cart wheel down a hill the day before I killed an elk with it.  As far as accuracy you have to trust me when I say I do just fine.   :archery_smiley: :chuckle:

We archers have to be the most fikle bunch when it comes to their gear, have you ever seen this kind of thred with the modern or the front stuffers?    :chuckle:

If I had a Hoyt I'd purposely run it over with my truck and stuff it in a garbage can.  Then I'd go buy a Mathews.

after trying mathews and bowtech I went with the bowtech. the guy at the shop selling bowtechs was super helpful, friendly and put up with all of my stupid newbie questions. he also talked me out of a lot of really expensive accessories that I really couldn't afford/appreciates since I was new to compound bows.

now the guy at the mathews shop spoke with a lisp, wore a pink shirt knotted above his navel, and said that you had to shoot a mathews bow with a limp wrist or it just would not tune properly. I really didn't care for the way he gave me shooting instructions either....



I SHOOT A MATHEWS AND THS IS THE FUNNIEST DAMN THING I HAVE EVER HEARD SOMEONE SAY ON THIS WEBSITE HAHAHA :chuckle: :chuckle: :IBCOOL: :P

We sell purple peeps and pink tubing.  I'll have to remember to push those next time I go into a Mathews shop ;)

Man, what did you trade him for that?  A pink Cricket single shot .22?  You got ripped off.

I shoot a Hoyt AM32 and that's the funniest thing Ive seen on here in awhile.   :chuckle:

So far they are the first ones to make one that doesn't blow up.  Diamond had one in the early eighties that blew up really good.  Then PSE and High Country.  All were pretty good at throwing shrapnel.  So far the ones by Hoyt and Carbon Tech do seem to be of a different breed with the newer nano/epoxies of today.

I have seen more than one aluminum risered bow run over and still shoot well afterwards.  A buddy of mine left his old Hoyt on top of the truck just before I did an Earnhardt pull out maneuver in front of a log truck.  Don't even think the new Carbon Hoyt could have won that battle.  Took about 10 ziplock bags to get that one home.

It's a good commercial that Hoyt has put together though.  Reminds me of the old Muzzy cinterblock commercial that sold so many broadheads.  Forget that I have never seen a deer hide behind a brick wall or walk around with a concrete vest on.  Or the fact that the blades actually do the work not the tip.  It sold a lot of heads for them and I'm sure Hoyt is doing quite well with the new carbon riser because of that commercial.  Could do without all the frat party yelling in the back ground though.

Perhaps I should buy three Bear Assaults.  Run over two of them with a big ass truck in the morning and still shoot an elk that evening with the third.  I'd have done the same thing and still be money ahead!  Plus, I would shoot arrows faster, would not have to worry about my cams going out of tune and I would not have to screw my accessories back on the bow after the stunt.  Yeah!  That would be AWESOME!!!

You Hoyt guys can have the video.  I'll take my bargain bow, elk tenderloins and a whole wad of extra cash in my pocket. :P 

This thread is fun!  Who says archers can't get along?

a bow is kinda like a hooker you can get a beautiful hoyt and know its a high class, clean with no issues piece of equipment that will do what you ask when you tell it to. or you can pay some lady named bear who's loud, wont lay still, and and you'll have to talk to customer service after flinging your arrow cause your bound to have something wrong with your riser afterwards.
they call me the bloodhound cause i can track a wounded animal in the rain for 2 days when all it has is a splinter.. sniff sniff awooo

I think you'll only need 2 bear assults. One to take a dump on and one to cover it up with. Then you can buy a hoyt. They pretty much shoot themselfs! :chuckle:

It sounds like you know all this from experience? I never had problems getting ladies with having to pay so I can't relate to ya sorry.  :chuckle:  Leave it to a Hoyt guy to compare his bow to some street trash hookers :chuckle: :chuckle:

I'm a hoyt guy also. I think it's  funny how arrogant some of the Mathew's people are on here

Your Hoyt sounds scary to shoot.  Not sure I want a bow that shoots itself.  I think propelling my arrows forward toward animal flesh is a better way to go.

As far as taking a dump on my Bear Assualt......"Crazy Larry" is a liar!  It only happened that one time and honestly I was so drunk I don't remember doing it.
