My buddy at my pro shop called me tonight and said the hoyt rep was going to be there with the new 2005's and to come over. I also got to eat some elk chili to boot. I shot the new vipertec, ultratec and the vtec. I liked them all but the vtec stood out. It has roughtly the same specs as the xtec, and those new alpha shock blockers are awesome. The riser has been redesigned for strength, stability, balance and shock absorbtion. It is about 7-10 fps faster than the xtec, and let me tell you it is totally dead in the hand. This bow is sweet. I hope you all get a chance to check them out, and keep an eye on the vtec, because I think it is going to be hot. Bhunter32.
