I got an awesome deal on one of these hats. Whenever you buy one of these cool hats
at any Hoyt dealership they give you a free bow! :chuckle: :IBCOOL: Actually I ended
up with two of these cool hats tonight and my poker winnings stash is bye bye. Tonight
I am the proud owner of a Hoyt Alphamax 32 and my daughter will have a Hoyt Trykon Jr
under the Christmas tree.
Doug at Great NW Archery was awesome. I went in yesterday to tell him I would bring in
my daughter today and that I was gonna have her try out a bow but not to let on that I
was really going to buy it. Today I asked her if she wanted to try a bow since I was in
there buying mine. She was all excited but she was nervous because she couldn't pull the
last youth buy she tried. Well that Hoyt Trykon Jr pulled back like nothing for her. She was
so excited. She is thinking that I might buy it for her after my tax returns come in next year.
I'll be picking up both our bows this coming week. In the mean time, I've got one expensive hat
to wear around. ;)

yes it does look very similiar at a glance, that however is where the simliarities end sir......... :drool:
....because the Bowtech 82nd is 25 to 30 fps faster! ;)
(I'll stop now, if you want to know the truth, I've never shot a Hoyt, so I know nothing about them, and my Bowtech is a old 2004 Patriot set at 60 lbs. (290 fps) I do love it though!) I think you probably can't go wrong with any of them Mathews, Bowtech or
Hoyt.

Like any modern firearm out these days its more about shot placement than anything else. All my kills have been with one shot, right through the vitals and I can guarantee not one of these animals gave a rats ass that my bow didn't have state of the art limbs or risers. Its about shot control and confidence, both of which are more important than just buying the newest, biggest, baddest gear on the market.
I am all for reading about everyones excitement over their new gear, don't get me wrong, but lets not forget that not everyone on hear can go out each year and upgrade. Its nice to read about new technology and the advantages it can give you but please don't disparage what others may have, we have one MM and I'd like to keep it that way.
I'm with EastWaViking, you can't go wrong with Hoyt, Bowtech or Mathews, they are all quality bows. :twocents:

Ya but Phool, you are avoiding the real topic in this post. Did you get a Mathews hat with your bow? :chuckle: :chuckle:
No, but I did get a boat with my last jacket I purchased :chuckle:

My wife bought me the top of the line Mathews Z-Lite back in 94 I think it was. I have harvested many nice animals with that bow including my 08 Washington moose. It cracks me up to listen to all these guys pumping their chests up talking about their new 350 fps bows with state of the art engineering, and coming off as though anything else is inferior.
