These guys are pretty much right on, so I won't repeat it, but I will answer a question you asked about this year's models vs. next....

The advances in bow technology amaze me every year. I relate it to computers. Every year amazes me at how much better they are than last. I know Hoyt, so that's what I talk about. They Trykon is one AWESOME bow, won honors of bow of the year and all that good stuff......This year the Vectrix was introduced, and I am bein honest when I say it is WAY better than the Trykon....

I often find myself wondering what they will be like in 5 years....I am amazed every year at how much they improve. Are they overpriced? Yep. But is it worth it? IMO, yep.
