RE: Changing mind about the Vectrix already... need affirmation
Update:
I called around and found a Hoyt dealer that had an assortment ofabout 40'07 Hoyts in stock including both the Vectrix and the Vulcan. This surprised the heck out of me because they are nothingmore thanan upstairs flatof a duplex that was turned into a bowshop, while at the same time, the "big dog" proshop here in town only had 7 new Hoytstotal. :shrugs:
Anyhow, it was (count'em) 1 degree Fahrenheit out with a steady 20mph wind gusting to 35, windchill minus 25 and wouldn't you know it, they only had a single hay bail outside as their shooting range. Well, I'm not about to buy a car without test driving it first, and so I did.
Evaluation: Dang the Vulcan is faaassst, especiallysince it was compared to my 238fps Cybertec. However, it felt like it could be very touchy. Incremental movements in my bow arm seemed as if it would make the bow shoot unpredictably. I guess it's the feel of a speed bow that I've just never come to know. What I do know though, is that I don't like it.
So yup, I decided on the Vectrix because it felt like I could steady it in my grip much much easier than the Vulcan. Seeing these two bows side by side in person, the Vulcan is not that much better looking than I originally thought through pictures online. The only thing that sucks about this Vectrix is that among the 20 or so they had in the store, none of them were 27 inches. So... it's on order and I have to wait 3 weeks.
The best part is that the price was only $679 which is a whole $70 less than the "big dog" shop I talked about earlier. So, I'm getting a Vectrix and single pin Cobra front sight that AFTER taxesonly costs about the same as the bare bow (BEFORE taxes) atthe "bid dog" shop.
