To be honest with you guys it is just refreshing to hear people talk about any other bow than bowtech on this site. Yeah they are great bows i get it, but for heavens sake is this a hunting forum or a bowtech forum[:@]

Whats with the brace height on the Katera.....6" I believe.
It's the EXACT same bow as the Vulcan, just the new cam.

The Vectrix Plus is the EXACT bow as the Vectrix, new cam.

The Katera XT is the EXACT same bow as the Vectrix XT, new cam.

I haven't shot them, but I'm not that impressed as yet....

Elite on the other hand........Look out folks.
They can't reinvent the wheel every year.

They do have a nice line up and the katera xl should be a big seller but don't stop looking there,look at the forgiving bows they have to offer.They are in a class by themselves there imo.

TFOX, you're right of course. And I LOVE my Vectrix, don't get me wrong. But they are the exact same bows.....just w/ the new cam. I wasn't really complaining, just stating.....

I was kind of surprised though.....After the last 2 years they've had, I guess I just expected something really awesome from them this year is all......Not that what they have is bad mind you....

They have tweaked the cams and the other bows in the line up are very nice.They have made the manufacturing more efficeint it seems which should help bring cost down or atleast level it out a bit.

I hope that holds true because pricing is getting out of hand and WE are to blame with all the demands bigger,badder,better and faster and allfor "nothing"

Agreed. I sure wish they were an adjustable cam though. That just stinks.....I'll be happy to get one in my hands and shoot it though, I am intrigued...

Adjustable cams are nice and have there place but in reality,the specific draw cams are far supperior,IMO to other cams becaused they are designed specifically for the set draw length.

Yeah, but for the 5 fps gain?? Not worth it, IMO.....especially when I go to trade it in.....

Not just in speed,they are more efficient but theyalso have more level nock travel,straighter nock travel and therefore,easier to tune which also equates into more forgiving.

PLUS,they usually have a smoother draw cycle as a result.

BUt I agree with the trading in aspect.
