I too am not a fan of the hoyts, I just don't like the tec risers & the feel of the bows. I liked the havoc much better. I still think the bow I like the best out there right now is the Q2. the new PSE nitro was one sweet bow but I like the Q2 the best.

as far as the rumors, man machined risers just don't break in half. the old cast magnesium riser would if they had a air pocket in them but machined aluminum is a whole new ball game. I really think that is a rumor started on the internet. this mathews, hoyt, bowtech pissing contest is getting old. just shoot what you like & get the bow that feels best to you. all these companies are making some good stuff now!
