Default RE: HOYT IMPULSE SUPER SLAM

I agree about those things needing constant tweaking with that nasty, creepy first generation fastflight. They're no worse than any other bow with today's string materials.

If it has round E-wheels, it will be plenty quiet but no great shakes for arrow speed. If it's got control cams, it'll be a good bit quicker but also a good bit louder.

If you don't like the grip (it's actually MY all time favorite) then you can remove the grip and wrap the handle area with leather or tennis racket wrap to get a thin, low wrist grip.

Don't know how much the guy's asking for it, but I wouldn't give much over $75 for an old Super Slam in great condition, even with the accessories. They're great old bows... The key word there being "old." In a world where a 5 year old compound is practically obsolete, you're talking about a bow that's around 10 years old or more. And it's obviously been shot with light carbon arrows, which I consider a red flag for magnesium risered bows from that time frame. That riser had a reputation for developing cracks and breaking, which I think is mostly due to people shooting overly light arrows with them.

Caveat emptor.
