To me nodog I thought it was a bit lighter than the trykon. It didn't seem quite as "chunky". But of course I personally shoot a heavier bow (Bowtech Old Glory). The string buzz was and has been an issue with the Hoyt lineup in recent years, but nothing that could not be eliminated. Hoyt did change the fuse string silencers a little by adding some little wings that look like the sims string leaches to the barrel shaped silencers they had last year.

One area that did concern me was the fact it didn't appear that you could adjust Hoyts sts type system closer or further away from the string. I personally think that if the sts could be adjusted closer to the string you could eliminate the string buzz. But i'm sure Hoyt did enough testing that they determined that this is the optimal setting for the best performance out of the bow.

The shop also has the shorter Vectrix I didn't get to shoot that yet, next time I go up there I plan on shooting the Vectrix and the Vectrix XL side by side. And even may shoot a few arrows through the chrono with a 350grn arrow to see what kind of speed they come up with.

I am just shooting these bows just for giggles and so I know what these bows shoot like when I'm working at the shop from time to time. It cracks me up when shops reccomend bows that they have never shot. I still love my Bowtech Old Glory and don't plan on giving it up any time soon.
