Look at my post in the review forum and I would have to say yes it is a heavily influenced Bowtech site - I asked about the differences between and Hoyt X* and and Pro elite - the response I got was you should shoot the 101st or 82nd, if I wanted to know about them i would have asked that question- I am happy with Hoyt you are happy with Bowtech - I think a bow is a personal choice - sorta like Mom used to say if he jumps off a bridge you going to jump to-- With all that bowtech is a great bow - not knocking it all - but in my opinion my hoyt is just as good - and I am happy with it
