RE: Hoyt Katera?
I shot it a few times but settled for the vetrix (2007) for some reason it just felt better in my hands over the katara but I think that bow is great. I need to shoot it with a dampener and see what it feels like. The store only put a rest on there and let me try it.
From what I gathered from shooting it was it is a little loader, had a little more vibration, but is slightly faster. Also it pulls a little easier. Since speed is not the Holy Grail for me the vetrix was plenty fast and quite.
28 inch draw 380 g arrows clocked at 270 fps at 65# I would say shoot both since the katara is merely a vetrix on steroids.
