RE: Which bow, Mathews/Hoyt/Bowtec
I' ve been going around to bow shops shooting different bows now for three weeks looking for the right bow. I' ve been having shoulder and back problems and needed a bow that was smooth, fun to shoot and a good hunting bow. I had shot just about everything with round wheels i could find and different types of modules and had settled on the Archery Research AR34. The only bow i hadn' t had the chance to shoot was a Hoyt because the local dealers didn' t have one that fit me. A friend told me i really needed to shoot the cam 1/2 before i made my decision so this morning i drove about 70 miles one way to shoot one. I' m glad i did! All the other bows i tried were ok but the fit and feel just wasn' t what i was looking for. I really liked the AR34 with the exception of a little hand vibration. I ended up buying the Hoyt Dynatec 50/60# 29" draw and couldn' t be happier. Set at 60lbs it' s as smooth as butter, quite, and shoots like a dream and it' s also easy on the shoulder and back. Before i left the shop i shot it thru the chrony with all the add ons and it shot 256fps set at 58# 29" draw with a 5575 Goldtip. I know thats not a rocket launcher but i' m not into the speed thing and thats fast enough for me. I can' t hardly wait to draw first blood with it! God Bless!
