Hoyt Vetrix, 7'' Brace Height, works well for cold weather hunting plus they tend to be a bit more forgiving which also plays well into hunting. The Vetrix used to be in the upper realms of speed in 2007 but now many bows are much faster but at 260-270 fps im still happy with it. Ill probably keep it for a few more years then start looking at newer models. Shot the new Creed yesterday and I was impressed with what little time a spent with it.
