I did have the BlackHawk and Black Knight mixed up. The BlackHawk has a nice brace height. HOWEVER, if I'm not mistaken (again) the Black Hawk has a really short axle-to-axle length. As in sub-30 short.

I don't know much (read: anything) about the Magna-tech, but checking with this chart it doesn't look like Hoyt makes many bows that are LESS forgiving than the Black Hawk.

But hey, I'm not excusing, just trying to offer a possible explanation. If someone likes Hoyts better than BowTechs, more power to 'em. They're wrong, of course, but...
