Anyone else out there curious to what Hoyt is going to offer this year that is breaking the mold of compound bows?
I think at 2:00 pm the new line on the website goes live.

I just had a chance to look at the bows new bows. So Hoyt has done it, they took a platform that I was looking at added .2 lbs to it, renamed it "Pro" and gained nothing as far as I can see in performance?Hoyt and performance in the same sentence? :chuckle:

I'll keep my older Hoyts. Lighter, faster, better cam, better grip location, and I don't need $200 adapters to use my press on them. And they can be found for under $400.
Which model older Hoyt are you referring to?

2012 vector. 2013 aluminum spyders. The RKT cam is faster, even with those bows' longer ATA, and still smooth. Those bows also still have the grip location slightly higher, which I think balances better. They also had the option for a turbo model without the use of those aggressive turbo cams, which was nice. I just don't see the point in dropping $1000 on these new models when some of thier older models have better performance for cheaper, and you can use a standard press with them. :twocents:

I`m in that boat, if I were to buy a new bow I`d have to buy a new press.
Thanks for the great info Jellymom.

The limbs either crack or totally blow up if shot frequently. Just my observation.

I have owned 6 different Bowtech between the boys and I since 2008 and never had a problem of any kind. Not saying it doesn't happen but what I've noticed is the guys that say they see it all the time are the ones who have never owned a Bowtech and just like to bash.

I've personally never seen a Bowtech limb go south, I've seen numerous videos on YouTube of it happening.

:chuckle: I have personally watch one get pulled from its box hung up for sale and 10 minutes later on the bow rack the limb delaminated literally right behind my head , it sold me on NEVER buying a Bowtech. I beleive the model was a Captain or General don't remember which but it doesn't really matter does it :yike:

:chuckle: sorry Jason you know I am anti bowtech as well. I saw 2 destroyers blow up at one archery shoot. Well I watched one happen and heard the other and saw it later. That's how they got the name the self destroyer lol. The only bows I get nervous drawing back are bowtech and that is why I wont own them anymore. When I slummed in a few archery shops for a couple years, I saw more wrecks from them then any other brand.
I think I have 7 different brands of bows hanging on the rack right now. Bowtech will not be on that rack :chuckle:

Bow tech is one of the best of the company's. durable is why I shoot it. Never had a problem. it the same span Lots of guys I know replacing limbs and one just had a 2016 Hoyt come unraveled at full draw. I'll still buy a Hoyt here soon and no I won't bring at full draw. If you've taken care of your non defective equipment you'll be fine Hoyt or bow tech. Now if the limbs of a certain model had a defect it would be easily found online by searching. To avoid getting that model.
Have you ever had to deal with their customer service? I can tell you from personal experience it is crap and so are their bows. I have owned one bow tech and I will never own another. You can take good care of your bow and it just doesn't matter with a bow wreck.

Bowtech and Mathews are hands down the best bows on the market. I think martin makes a good bow too. Ive never shot a pse but the new carbon air has my attention until i saw the $1500 price tagThe guy that says "hands down best bows" and only references 2 manufacturers hasn't shot enough of the bows out there.

D rock will tell you they're all bad. Im not sure what model had the limbs that were recalled. But if I went to buy a bow I'd sure do a review check and that goes for every brand.
As far as I know the General is the only Bowtech that had the limbs recalled. The recall was for limbs that don't have the collet.
Post by: Jellymon on December 28, 2016, 09:50:47 AM
My comment had some facts. I think all of the bow tech hate came from a bad set of limbs that have since been fixed by the company. Unless they just stay in business selling junk that blows up for 999.... not everyone's as smart as d rock. He's watched tens of thousands of hours of bowtechs exploding. If we all knew as much as him about bowtechs we wouldn't buy them either... this I'm an elitist archer that shoots 3D and have seen more bows than you guys so I know more is bs. I guess I got a one in a million with both my bowtechs. with how quick info travels now a days if they did make faulty bow limbs that broke regularly it would be well known. They would not be one of the major manufacturers and top bow companies like they are.
Explain these. All newer models, and not one is a general with the recalled limbs. Looking through these there is a repetitive obvious design flaw and I will not buy one because of it. Anyone denying that Bowtech has limb issues just because thier one or two bows hasn't had an issue has thier head in the sand. Supposedly they are making the limbs in house now to make them better, but I won't hold my breath.

All bow companies have some failures. Finding endless pics online proves nothing. Type in any company and just as many results. Probably more for Martin.If you put in a given company of course you'll find problems. The enlightening search is "bow limb problems" and it seems that about 7 out of 10 threads/articles/topics are on Bowtech bows.

I have a Spyder Turbo.
I guess now I will have to go in search of another midget friendly bow.
