10 to 1
 

The Hoyt Vectrix is selling 10 to 1 over the Mathews Drenaline at mylocal pro shop. It is their top seller for hunting bows.What is selling the best at your local pro shop? Edit: They do not sell Bowtech there. They sell Ross, Bear, Parker , Reflex andMartin.

Name what your dealer sells.

RE: 10 to 1
 

Bowtech, hands down.

Although it may help that thats the only big name manufacturer they carry other than Martin. ;)

RE: 10 to 1
 

ROSS, but that is all they have besides PSE, and some other no name brand.

At the 3d on sunday I got atleast 5or 6 where can I get one of those. Man they are quite!

My buddy pick up the new hoyt and shot it, then set it back down,LOL

He went with the longer of the new Bowtechs!!

RE: 10 to 1
 

At the four proshops that are within driving distance, its a big Mathews show......

RE: 10 to 1
 

They finally got the Bear Truth set up for shooting and the orders are going out like wild fire

RE: 10 to 1
 

parker and Hoyt

RE: 10 to 1
 

Without a question bowtech. But they don't carry much other than Bowtech and Martin.

RE: 10 to 1
 

At the shop I frequent they carry Mathews,Hoyt,Darton.

Hoyt is the winner ,the manager shoots Hoyt.
The previous owners were Mathews fans and they sold more Mathews.

Influence at the shop has alot to do w/ it.

RE: 10 to 1
 

My shop is selling Bowtech,Mathews,Martin,And about any other brand you can think of and I believe the new Hoyt Vectrix is outselling them all.

He even has a couple Guardians on the shelf.;)

RE: 10 to 1
 

Yep.

RE: 10 to 1
 

Mathews is the clear winner at the shop I go to. They also sell Bowtech, PSE, Bear, Darton, Browning. The one guy that works there told me they had an Allegiance shop bow and had to send it back after folks shot it, I was one of them, due to .... get this ... serving seperation right were Wash had his problem.

When he told me that, .... I just shut up.

RE: 10 to 1
 

You cannot go by what is selling big at you pro shop as a reference as to which is better, because they probably push it the hardest. At the shop here, they sell Jennings/Fred bear. That is the best bow in the world according to them, even though the owner shoots PSE. Doesn't make sense, but that is what they do. I have a Mathews, so I catch alot of crap for it. It is what they like at the time and get the best deals on.

RE: 10 to 1
 

The owner of the proshop is usually shooting a Hoyt but always has a Mathews hat on. I sent two of my buddies down there last summer and they said that the owner was great and pressured them in no way to buy a brand. They both walked out with Switchback XT's.Hisfulltime employee shoots a Ross. His part time guy shoots a Mathews. I would assume that they want to sell as many bows as they can regardless of brand. They have had many Mathews fans say that they are holding onto their Switchback XT's after shooting the Drenaline. I too prefer the Switchback XT over the Drenaline. I am just the messenger, Mathews fans;don't hate the player,just the game.:D

RE: 10 to 1
 

I have a buddy that works at a scheels all sports and he said the same thing, most of the guys that work their or are on the pro staff are all going to vectrix this year and leaving the mathews at home were they belong...Ha,Ha

RE: 10 to 1
 

The shop i deal with only carrys hoyt and bowtech. If u talk to the owner he'll try and sellyou a hoyt. But if you were to talk to another one of the guys who works there he'd try to sell you a bowtech. Like the others who said its all about the influence of the shop

RE: 10 to 1
 

Sounds like equal influence then. Which is selling better? Everybody here must be easy going in IA proshops as I have NEVER had a dealer push a bow brandon me.

RE: 10 to 1
 

It was the same with both shops I visited before purchasing my bow. They just wanted me to spend my money at their shop. They didn't care which bow I left with as long as my cash wound up in their till.

RE: 10 to 1
 

How about I just forget all that and hate your freaking face?[:@][:@][:@]
With love, the honkster:D:D:D

RE: 10 to 1
 

Catch your wife with my pic as her screensaver again??
With love back at ya, the HCH.[8D]

RE: 10 to 1
 

So far, the Vectrix, hands down.....BUT, we haven't recieved a single Reflex or Ross yet......And we were the #1 Reflex dealer in the state last year...So we'll see. Too early to tell.

OH, we have gotten in one Reflex...very nice indeed, looks like the Trykon.

RE: 10 to 1
 

Yes I did stud muffin, Your not all that.

RE: 10 to 1
 

LOL!! Damn, if I found a pic like that onmy womans' computerI would have to question my own looks. That pic would keep mice out of a house.

RE: 10 to 1
 

You are the EXTERMINATOR SANS THE SAG

RE: 10 to 1
 

TFOX, Just curious since we live fairly close together, what pro shop do you go to and where? I usually go to strickly shooting in evansville but have not been for awhile so i dont have a good answer to this threads question.
Dan

RE: 10 to 1
 

I use Contrac All Weather Blox for the rodents. Trading that Switchback in for a Drenaline this year Motown? Shot one yet? Might as well, little woman will spend it if you don't. Remember, you will never see a U-haul behind a hearse. Translation, you can't take it with you.

RE: 10 to 1
 

I'm not going to buy a new bow this year HCH. Your right though, the little wifey won't let dust settle on a dollar. I can't give up my Switchback. To smooth and accurate. I am going to shoot your beloved Vectrix though to see what all the hoopla is about.

RE: 10 to 1
 

1 smart employee:D

RE: 10 to 1
 

I used to like Ross, but since he hangs out with Ted ,I have begun to doubt his judgement and capabilities as a bowmaker. :DHas Ross been asked to speak at Cabelas, this could sway my mind?[8D]

RE: 10 to 1
 

You know you make a good point, I buying a Hoyt!!!
Ross is to good for Cabela's!!

Ilike Uncle Ted, I just want him to act like an adult every once in awhile, LOL

How is your ankle? Are the pain meds working, your post seem to make sense now[8D]

RE: 10 to 1
 

Sounds familiar....

My shop owner can't keep the Drenaline OR the Bowtech lines on his shelves (although he's got Drenaline's due to be in today or tomorrow). The only Bowtech he has on the shelf is an '06 tribute and a Guardian.

He's also one of the guys who picked up a Hoyt and shot it and said "No thanks" to carrying them.

So.....they don't sell too good in these parts.....;)

RE: 10 to 1
 

This post of yours is making sense now too.LOL. Saw the Dr. yesterday and he rexrayed and is very happy with everything and is not going to have to do surgery!!! It took 8-9 days before there was any change, but I have really been seeing some improvements in the last 4 days. No work for 4 more weeks and he will see me again. Definately have cabin fever. I want to be out shed hunting and predator hunting. We finally got snow with 7" on the ground. Thanks for asking!!!

RE: 10 to 1
 

It's hard to beat the Hoyt Vectix and all of the improvements that were made from 2006. IMO it's the best new bow for 2007. And yes, I have shot the Gaurdian... ;)

RE: 10 to 1
 

I just don't want anybody to think I don't like Hoyt bows. I do. I think they're a great bow. I just have a personal preference for something else.

I'd hunt with one in a MINUTE if they were cheaper (substantially)or I had a connection to their company. I have nothing against them.

RE: 10 to 1
 

GMATT, Why would Hoyt choose to sell their bows substantially cheaper when MANY in the industry consider it to bethe best bow on the market right now. It is cheaper than a Mathews Drenaline at most shops by $20. $700 is the going rate for the top of the line bows. Hoyt archery is considered one of the archery leaders. Hoyt and Mathews hold this position with Bowtech right behind them. Your post made no sense. It is like," If Mercedes started selling their cars at a substantially lower price, I would buy one." Mercedes isn't going to lower their price and neither is Hoyt, Mathews, and Bowtech. When you sell the best there are, why? Quality and performance isn't cheap. You get what you pay for.

RE: 10 to 1
 

Because, Don....I paid SUBSTANTIALLY LESS for my Bowtech than you did for your Best in the world bow. That's why. Does it make sense, now????

My bow shop owner knows the business I send him.....and I get an UNBELIEVABLE deal on my bows. Yes.....it's under cost. Yes.....WAY under cost. If I could buy a Vectrix for $400 I wouldn't have bought it (If I had to shoot it, I wouldn't).

See???????

RE: 10 to 1
 

$ isn't a big deal to me when I want the best bowhunting product out there. That is why I have no problem with getting expensive gray fall predator wolfskin clothing through gray wolf woolens. Simply the best camo pattern and clothing maker in the industry. I also have no problem with buying thebesthangon treestand in the industry, Lone Wolf Alpha Hangon, and the best climbing sticks in the business, Lone Wolf sticks.My arrows are A/C/C, my blinds are Double Bull. Do you see a trend here? I won't compromise owning the best product for bowhunting just to save a little money. I am a serious bowhunter. I send my dealer tons of business but I am not going to ask for favors from the guy on bowdeals. We pay him full price on our bow purchases.He has to make a living. BTW, I alsoowna Bowtech Tribute. The Vectrix is just making quite an impression on the archery world right now and this is showing at my dealers shop. If your dealer quits selling Bowtechs and all he has to offer for a deal to you below cost is a less than known bow maker that doesn't shoot well, are you going to buy it just to save $?
BTW; I am not rich, I just learned long time ago that that buy it right once and you have no regrets.

RE: 10 to 1
 

Oh where to begin....

Me neither. Hence my stance I wouldn't pay MORE for a product I find to be INFERIOR. It also takes all kinds, Don. I bought a Lone Wolf stand/climbing sticks combinationand sold it.....because I think it's a pain in the axx compared to my Summit Viper. To each his own.

Swell!

Read my signature and heed it. Don't read into my statements anything other than what I tell you. I never asked him for anything (my dealer). He approached ME with a deal he said would express his gratitude for my business. he knows how much business I send him....how much I spend in there.....AND he gets so many bows from the mfg's ech year on a "deal". He passed one of these along to me. That's all.....

I agree....and I certainly wouldn't pay MORE for a product that......well....you know......

No Don....just like you....I'm going to shoot what I think is the best product on the market.....price excluded. Just don't hate me because I saved a few bucks on mine.

Congratualtions. You're a smart man. You're also smart enough to know that just because you paid more for something.......you didn't neccessarly get a better product.

RE: 10 to 1
 

Ummmmmm

nevermind.

RE: 10 to 1
 

Don:

I could have saved myself a LOT of time by simply relpying with this......

RE: 10 to 1
 

Basically it all boils down to the fact the no one really cares that you geta deal on your archery crap. I know I don't. Your opinions on bowhunting or equipment also don't interest me so your statement about," Why wouldI choose a product INFERIOR to yours," we all just shake our heads. Youhaveone yearexperience as abowhunter and an archer so your opinion is of little importance to me as far as bows and archery equipment go.What bowhunting you do participate in is in a city urban setting. Enough said.
