I can't believe it. I have been a loyal Hoyt shooter for 15 years, usually buying their best model every spring. This year was no exception, I ordered my Trykon in January. The shop i go to sell Hoyts and Bowtechs, but the owner is not a big Hoyt fan because of their customer service and other things. He has been at me to shoot a Tribute since the beginning of the year. Last night I did, and proceeded to trade in my Trykon for the Tribute. I loved my Hoyt but the Tribute was 14 fps faster with my arrow, and I shot tighter groups at 30 and 40 yards. The Tribute is definately quieter and smoother, and IMO the better bow. I almost feel guilty, like I cheated on my girlfriend or something, my friends are asking what took me so long.
