thinking of purchasing a new bow....any comments or complaints on the new hoyts

You WILL love your new Hoyt. Just a few years ago I would have never imagined that I would be shooting one of their bows. I loved my Mathews. I was truly convinced that Mathews was the best name in the industry ( at the time, I believe it WAS). Last season I had to try a Hoyt equipped with the Cam & 1/2 Performance System just to see what all the fuss was about??? I got my hands on an '03 CyberTec and now there is no looking back!!! Hoyt really has an incredible shooting, problem free cam system with the Cam & 1/2. I also tried a BowTech Extreme VFT but still the Hoyt remained a favorite in my hands. This season I didn't hesitate to grab one of the first XTECs when they were intoduced in November. The new '04 "X" is without question, THE most rock solid, stable shooting platform I have ever experienced. A true joy to shoot. Hoyt certainly has a winner with this new line-up. IMHO, you just couldn't go wrong with a new Hoyt. Good luck and good shootin.

I bought the Vipertec this year. Was thinking of going with the Xtec, but I personally like shorter bows. I have mine setup with a Dropzone rest, Hogg-It sight, and it's a great bow to shoot. I got rid of my 2003 Mathews Legacy so I could get this bow....I will never get rid of my Vipertec!

I have been a PSE shooter for several years. I bought my last bow in 1997. I decided it was time to treat myself to a new bow. I figured I would get a Mathew's or a Bowtech, but wasn't really sure. I decided to shoot as many bows as the local proshop had to offer. I shot Mathew's, Bowtech, Kodiak, and Hoyt. The Outback was smooth, but to short for my liking (30.5" draw). The LX was nice but had more hand shock than the Outback. The Bowtech's felt top heavy to me. The Kodiak...not for me.


the Hoyts really stood out. I went with the Xtec, and I am in love with it. The Xtec was as smooth, if not smoother than the Outback and speeds very close to the LX. No hand shock and very quiet. If I were in your shoes, I would shoot as many bows as possible. Don't worry what signature is on the limbs, just get the one that feels best for you.

i have a razortec, it's awesome. I have a drop zone rest as well. I believe in the cam and a half

I shot a protec and love it. I went with the protec because i don't really believe in speed and the deflex riser is believed to be more accurate. I have no complaints. Hoyt does not have to advertise like mathews to sell bows, because they are great bows

Like PLB, I shot all the big names with an open mind & was surprised that the Hoyt Supertec felt best for me. Could'nt be more satisfied. Buy what feels right for you.

Bought my X-tec about two months ago,the bow is great,the shooter needs work.Of coarse my old bow was about ten years old.The place I bought it from said I was going from a Piper Cub to an F-18,they were right.

my buddie just bought one he plays for the arizona diamondbacks farms team, ha loves his, it is quiet and shoots really good from what i saw.
