RE: Hoyt website updated....
TFOX, I think the catalog shows one w/ a black riser and camo limbs. We custom ordered a few kateras last year in that configuration, and I can tell you it looks freakin awesome! My only complaint, they had it painted gloss, and it was pretty shiny. If it's flat black, it would be killer.
As far as ordering a bow I haven't shot......
1. It's a Hoyt. I have not met a Hoyt in the last 5 years I didn't like. Every other bow in their line up I've shot, and wouldn't be disappointed with any of them. Of them, I like the Seven37 the best, I just don't want one quite that long ATA. And I know I don't want one as short as 32. I have a 30" draw.....Yeah, that won't work.
2. I've shot the Bowtech lineup as well, including the Guardian and General. That split riser design is incredible. I simply cannot imagine how that is going to hurt. Hoyt is already known for a quiet bow with little to know vibration, and a smooth pull. I see this design as only improving on these qualities. How can it not?
TFOX is correct. IF I don't like it, I don't have to take it. We'll just sell it, and I'll get aSeven37. But, I just don't see that happening. I don't know what there is about that bow that I won't like. It's got the geometry I'm looking for, it could be a tick faster, but 316 surely isn't slow. And I know enough about the Hoyt lineup and history to be able to make a well enough assumption before hand.
