I do not like the draw cycle and the non-adjustable drawlength feature that I am used to.
Unless you are a teenager and you're still growing, why do you need adjustable draw length? Is it for resale value? Or do you have different lengths for 3d vs hunting? I've read that adjustable draw length reduces (slightly) a bows efficiency.

I took the test as well. Here's is what I found after shooting the Bowtech and Hoyt, side by side. I shot the Hoyt Trykon, Bowtech Allegience and Bowtech Tribute. All 3 shot great, but there were some personal Pro's/Con's on both.

Bowtech- Pro's
1.Lightweight and short
2.Very Quiet
3.No Hand Shock
4.Smooth Draw Cycle
5.Smoking Fast

Con's
1. Squarish uncomfortable handle. It really felt different than any other bow I shot.. in a bad way.

Hoyt - Pro's
1. Quiet
2. No Hand Shock
3. Very Comfortable Handle

Con's
1. The Draw wasn't very smooth. It's was just different than what I'm used to, in a bad way
2. Little bit heavier and bigger. Which is a big downside since I do a lot of spot and stalk and mobility is a big concern.

All in all, both bows were great though. They've sure came a long ways from what my current bow is. And physically I don't really care what they look like, since both of them look awesome to me, compared to the current bow I shoot. Reason I would lean towards the Bowtech is that thepoor Grip can be changed and customized. But thepoor draw on the Hoyt is there to stay.


But I thinkI might justwait another year until the new models come out. Maybe by then the con's won't weight as heavily as they did on both models.
