Title: Hoyt Carbon Matrix
Post by: konrad on July 18, 2010, 08:43:44 PM: I have seen the advertising and have seen only an all too brief review in Peterson’s Bowhunting magazine (I find their bow tests very unsatisfying, in general).
Does anyone own one of the Hoyt Carbon Matrix bows?
What poundage and draw length?
What arrow length and type?
What point weight and fletching type?
What sights and release are you using and what groups are you achieving compared with the bow you replaced?

I know folks don’t want to admit “buyer’s remorse” too quickly but I would really appreciate an unbiased report on this machine.

Thanks for any input.

They say the riser is bulletproof but out of all the bows that I've owned and been around risers never seem to be a problem. I think limbs and cams will always fail first.
