I don't see the point to high weight carbon, why would stronger than strong enough be an advantage. None of my current bows have broken in Al, including some very light and short ones.

I do see the point to a lightweight C2 (or whatever). A C2 that weighed 3 pounds could be set up to be more stable with the same overall weight. Or for that matter it would be a nice light field bow for situations where the short ATA wasn't all that critical.

55, I think the light weight that is so prized with splits isn't the overall weight of the bow, but the weight of the limbs which affects speed (that's the story) There are other issues, like intra limb ballance. There is a Randy Ulmer article on the subject over on the Hoyt site. Am I a believer? not really. I thought the whole thing mighty cool the first year it was out. The three Hoyts I have had with split limbs were/are all nice bows, but they aren't any better than lots of others.

Aestheticaly I kind of feel the whole Hoyt thing, including the tech riser, looks like a giant split end.
