Bloodtrail,

I left a few comments about it over on ABM's thread but to continue on that line of thinking....

..I generally do not like bows that have under a 7 inch brace height. It is my biggest consideration when purchasing a new bow because of bad personal experiences with low brace height bows in the past. I stayed away from the Vortec last year because of the 6.5 inch brace height and I had initially kept away from the Cybertec this year for the same reasons.

But, the brace height varies so much on the Hoyt bows depending on the cam style and cam size. As I stated in the other thread I was "messing around" with a Cybertec Versacam last week. It had the size 3 Versacam on it and the brace height measured out between 6 7/8th and 7 inches though the overall listed brace height for the bow is 6.5.

I found it an overall pleasure to shoot. The TEC riser design works as well as the sound/vibration reducing gizmos found on other companies' bow without having to add mass weight to the bow. If you do want to add accessories or weight to create further stability then you have that option.

The axle to axle length is in what I would consider the mid range....36-38 inches and this creates a nice blend of maneuverability and stability (in the case of canting the bow).

The grip on all of the new Hoyts is rather unique. It is very small and extremely smooth so torque is greatly reduced. The one thing I find very unappealing about some of the other grips on the market is the larger overall surface area of the bottom part of the grip. It makes shooting a low grip style much more sensitive on these bows. This isn't the case with the Hoyt.

If you are looking for a good hunting bow to shoot some 3D with and you don't want to risk going "too short" for your personal tastes then the Cybertec is an excellent choice.
