I shot the Vulcan and was very, very impressed with it. Having that short 6" brace I expected some arm slap but it didn't happen. Put it this way, when I was shopping last year I started the exercise wanting to buy a Trykon because I truly feel that Hoyt make a darn good product but I just couldn't warm up to the draw and valley of the Trykon. Matter of fact I hated it. I would have bought the Vulcan on the spot if it was around last year.
