At your size,I would give the Hoyt 38Pro a serious look.


Not a bash against any other bows but the Hoyt is built for someone of your stature.The limbs are laminated,not glass and it hasan available TRUE 32" draw.It has a straight riser and gives you over an 8" brace.

I know where a guy can buy a brand new hoyt trykon 60-70# for $425 shipped if you are interested. It also comes with the Hoyt acc kit. I seen it from someone local in Nebraska. It was basically taken out of the package and set up to try and shot only a few times.

Darn... and I thought I was being so "subliminal"... [8D]

I'd say a new bow is needed.

Good luck with the cracking problem!! hope you get it resolved soon!!

I hit a lot of garage sales during the season, you wouldn't believe what people sell.....cheap.

As for the feather, I just wouldn't feel right shooting it knowing it was there. It's one ofthe OCD's that I have. When I go into the woods I must have 100% confidnece in my equipment and that would send me over the edge![&:]I'd know it was there and I would be constantly checking it to make sure it was not getting bigger.......it would not be pretty...not at all.[]

No I will either replace the limbs or just sell it off as parts or to some one who is full aware of the "feather".

I like Hoyts but I think I am going to stick with a single cam bow. I just like the simplicity of them. It's why I didn't stick with the Oasis (hybrid cams) as my primary hunting bow.

Doesn't get much simpler than a hybrid.Haven't touched mine in about 2 years.Atleast the strings and cables as far as timing goes.

Set it and leave but each to his own.

Greg,

Same thing as the Hoyt, I don't want a hybrid cam system.I'm going to get a single cam bow, that I know for sure. I shot dual cam bows for years even when they went out of style. I just couldn't get on the single cam bandwagon. Oh, I shot a few and they were ok but nothing that made me want to change. Then I bought one and started to shoot it on a regular basis. The simple design really sold me on it as a hunting bow.

As with my move to single cams I am in the process of shooting some hybrid systems like my Oasis. I think they shoot great but I don't have the confidence in them as a primary hunting rig. I'm sure my opinion will change as the years go by and I shoot more and different types (like the binary cams) but for now I'm going to stick with what I feel the most comfortable with, a single cam.

You are definately welcome to your opinion but I can tell you that from experience,a single cam bow,WHEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY requires more hands on attention than ahybrid.Simple reason is when a cable or string stretches,iteffects the hybrid very little but on a single cam,it changes things like nock height and travel.


Granted,some of the newer 1 cams have VERY level nock travel so it has less of an effect on them but like I said,2 years without a single timing adjustment and still dead on.


BUT,the choice is totally yours and if you don't have the confidence in the hybrid,then it isn't for you.
