NEW HOYTS FINALLY!

TEmbry · 10-20-2008, 09:13 PM

Been waitin and a waitin, and now that they are here I'm not too sure what to think. Not quite a center pivot, almost more like an extended limb pocket like limbsavers bow or something...who knows, I cant wait to shoot one regardless.

Alphamax is their new flagship, they kept the Kateras as well. Alphamax is offered in 32 or 35" ATA.

Ill post more when I find more out.

Alphamax 35

New Cams

They also brought back the spiral cams after all the griping from target archers after they discontinued....ive never shot one, but apparently it is one of the best cam designs ever.

I guess there's no greater form of flattery than imitation.

May just be me.....but that is a god awful ugly bow, cant wait to shoot one [8D]

Who wants a blue bow[8D]

Just kidding, the Alpha Max does look sweet. Looks like they took the best things about a few bow brands and put it all together in one bow

P.S. Trevor, check your PM box

I knew this would get the techies....heck, i posted it with that thought in mind.

Bowtech wasnt the first with a split riser design.... So yeah, flattery and imitation, lol.

Im not sure I like the design either, but one thing is for sure, this split riser has laminated limbs...no need for shatterproof glasses.

Ill shoot one, hopefully this week, and do a review on it....It certainly didnt wow me into wanting to trade up this year, thats for sure.

I posted the pics in a response in the technical forum.Really thought it would do something there.

[8D]

I really liked the center pivot design when Bowtech introduced it but never liked the draw cycle or the grips on the Bowtechs,still don't,along with some other issues I have with them.Not a bash,just not my personal preference.

I think this version of the center pivot is actually a little better,atleast from what I can see in the pics.I am confident I will like the draw cycle better,atleast I have previously up to this point.This is the first bow,in several yearsthat has peaked my interest enough to makeme think I need to get one.

Can't wait to see all the options.

And perhaps if bowtech keeps copying hoyt they can one day make a limb that won't go caploooey...... you gotta go back farther than last year to see who is imitating and who is leading.... bowtechs are great.... and I've got one on order.... but anyone who tries to take the fact that there is probably no BETTER BUILD or SOLID bow made from Hoyt.... just doesn't know what they are talkin' about......

Just put up a photo of a Guardian or Commander and tell me if it looks like them, or not.

I'm not saying anything bad about the bow. But....if you're saying it's"innovative".....instead of"imitation".....pass me what you're smokin'.

Really most all designs are imitations of something previous.
