Title: I joined Team Hoyt today!
Post by: MDGrand on December 30, 2011, 12:43:18 PM
Little x-mas gift to myself :)

Hoyt Vector Turbo... Rip Cord arrow rest, True Glow 5 pin sight with click adjustments, tuned and purchased from the guys at Nock Point.

BLOWN AWAY by this bow.. amazingly smooth and fast. Was not expecting that much of a jump from my Firecat but its was pretty obvious.

i bought a crx 32 last spring. but if theres one thing i hate about bow company's that i wish they would change is stop coming out with a new bow every year. they need to be like car manufacturers and changer body styles every 2-3 years. its sucks to buy a brand new bow then "ohh theres a new one out already thats better"! i feel like i bought an outdated bow the second i walk out of the store and my a.d.d. kicks in and i get mad! i wanna feel like i got the best thing out there for at least a couple years.

I have always liked the feel of Hoyt bows! Own a Mathews(SQ2 outdated as hell), and am thinking of Hoyt for my next bow. Any good deals on new shorter bows from them? If you dont mind, how much(besides one arm, and one leg), did it run?

You could always find the bow that's a year or two old and save some cash.

Congrats on your vector! You will gets many years of enjoyment out of it and hopefully many big bucks and bulls.  :tup:. I have been shooting hoyts for many years and every model is top notch even if they are several years old.

Awesome Bow!! I really like the specs on that one. :tup: I shot a Mathews Q2Xl for years and its outdated and slow, but one forgiving SOB, its still loaded and ready to go. I tried to stay loyal to mathews when I upgraded.... didnt work out :chuckle:   I got serious. Got hoyt! Love that longer ATA.

Bought my SQ2 in 2001 and it is definatly outdated but can still  fling an arrow. I'll probably shoot it for several more years.

ya, i got it when it hit the stores, but i am over 6', and love the short ATA size.
Hoyt will get my $ next, its true how the bow picks you. Got the SQ2 for a screaming deal(loaded for $750 new), but loved the feel of the Hoyts, over the Mathews.

For what its worth, I shot pretty much every high end bow they got over at Nock Point.. the PSE, a Mathews and of course the Hoyts..

I will say that for me it seems pretty obvious where the manufacturer is from. Mathews is a midwest company... and seems very used to making bows that sit with you in a treestand.. see the Z7...

Hoyt is made out of Utah.. seems more well suited for spot and stock and usually come with a longer riser giving a nice smooth feel to the shot.

PSE is just a little too excentric for me.. The Omen has cams the size of footballs.. did not feel comfortable compared to the others.

NOT that either can not do the job well and than some.. but that was my observation. In the end, it just matters what feels the best.

My dad still shoots a Q2 also and has had a hard time deciding whether it is worth upgrading since its such a great shooting bow.

Congrats on a great choice. I'm on my 4th Hoyt...love them. It takes a lot of shooting to get to the point where you have complete confidence in the bow. Suggestion...get rid of the peep tubing once the strings get broken in. I never liked the Hoyt strings and normally end up changing them shortly after I buy the bow.  By a good set of replacement (pre stretched) strings when you replace them.

They had a monster in the shop a while back.. they dont have many but I was allowed to shoot it as I heard it was a real shoulder problem. Nice bow actually but definitely a brute.

Picked up my Hoyt Element from Bill at the Knockpoint... love it! 
Great Bows... just be aware the valley is a little shallow and it creeps up you when at full draw and the Elk is taking his sweet time to give you a shot.   :tup:       

Hoyt  get er done
