Default RE: Not 2 Impressed with the 09 Hoyts

Personally its not the bow I am not impressed with, I should clarify that it is the LACK of new bows offered by Hoyt I guess.

Does the archery industry re-invent an old idea, or course, but just thought I would see more from a company like Hoyt.

ORIGINAL: Mikey S.

I'm just curious to see how many guys on here and anywhere else have actually shot the Alphamax to actually give a hands on review. I've counted zero so far. Well one guy tested one on Archerytalk. So many guys "unimpressed" , so little hands on experience.

I'm not sure what every body expects them to do. Hoyt is usually dead on with it's IBO speeds, and with a little tinkering and good set of strings, it's not uncommon to pick up 10+ fps over their own rating. So what are the complaints concerning? They built a 32", 7" brace height bow that will most likely be smooth, quiet, easily tunable, easily shootable and forgiving, adjustable DL modules, fast enough for most guys shooting at deer at reasonable ranges, and the toughest limbs in the business.

Are we disappointed they didn'tadd the wonderful cable roller guard idea this year ???[8D]

I get to shoot one this weekend. If I can get to the shop between hunts. I hope to have a nice 2 or 3 word review of it.
They brought out 6 new models and reintroduced a cam for the target archers that were begging for it to come back.They also introduced a completely new limb and new limb pocket design.
