I have a friend who has been shooting his (and killing bucks) for many years. Two years ago, he expressed interest in the Hoyts with the Cam and a half. He took his bow out, put 3 shots into a 2" spot at 30 yards, and said "Why get a new bow?" They are very quiet bows. Like PABowntr said, the grips are pretty big. They aren't real fast. I think I am shooting my arrows a little faster at 60# than my friend is at 70#, but he gets the job done. He kills more deer than I do, a combination of being a better hunter, and having a lot more time to hunt. His bow doesn't seem to be holding him back.
