Throughout the years I have shot Jennings, PSE, Martin and others. When I was younger and had more money than brains, I was getting a different bow every year or two. What ever was the latest and greatest. None of them made me shoot better. It was practice that did that, not the bow. I got my Hoyt about 5 years ago and was at the local archey store getting a new peep just a couple years ago. While I was there, another archer was there with his $800 bow complaining that it did not shoot well and there was something wrong with it. I know the tech there and he turns and asks about my Hoyt, How fast, how does it shoot, how much was it, My response was " As well as I can shoot it " The tech could not find anything wrong with this guys bow,The guywas just under the impression that if you paid more it shot better.
I think most of the name brand bows on the market today are good quality bows and can all be shot well, if they fit the person shooting well and that person practices.
Don't get me wrong here, I love my Hoyt, but it is because it fits me well and is comfortable, which makes me more confident. So the morale of my story is " Just remember, hopefully everyone finds a Bow or Manufacture they really can shoot well and are comfortable with, but realize that just because you like it, does not mean it is the right bow for someone else. I get a little concerned when Archers or even rifle hunters get into discussions of the better brand. We all need to realize it is a personal thing and to be happy we have found a brand that we shoot well.

bought my first hoyt four years ago, and I highly doubt I'll even try another bow. love it.

I started hunting after I bought my first Hoyt Raptor in 1996. I went out a several times and never even seen a deer or had a clue.TheHoyt DealerI boughtmy bow from and later to become a goodfriendHoyt took me out before season ended,.to shoot a doe. Now her eis the funny part. I am6'3 and300lbs at the time. Roger is 5'6 150 and we were in the same tree. I ended up shooting a small buck 20 minutes after getting on stand after the shot the adrenaline dump hit me. Roger leaned over and said do not yell and to sit down because the tree was shaking so bad. I never noticed the tree shaking.. Well 10 minutes past and another buck walked down the same trail and I shot that one to to fill both tags. At this point the tree was shaking so bad Roger tells me to sit down again aand if i want I can yell out. So I did. I about blasted his little butt right out of the tree. I don't even remeber climbing down. I think I jumped the 20 feet. Roger is now a good friend and I owe it to Roger the Hoyt Dealer to take time out of his hunting season to help me. Thanks Roger.
