The new pro fit custom grip on the vtec is sweet. I was the same way, I thought it would take a heck of a bow to top the feel of the xtec, but when I shot the vtec I said wow. You kind of say to yourself, did I just shoot this thing, cause it is absolutely dead after the shot. I really like those new alpha shock blockers on these bows too. Simms is making them exclusive for the hoyt bows. I think they play a big part in silencing the bow. The rep said that with the regular split limb savers that if you remove them and don't put them back in the exact same spot that the bow tune can change. Something about stressing the limbs in a different place. The alpha blockers compress in between the limbs so you can put them in the sweet spot that you like best and it won't change nothing. The ones I saw were also in camo, but I'm not sure if they all come that way. I hate when they come out with this stuff, cause I am already planning to put the coin back.LOL. These bow companies are sure rough on a fella. Good luck and keep your eye on these. Aim for the boiler room. Bhunter32.
