No, I don't own one, but I've shot them. Super bows. Smooth, quite fast and dead quiet. But I don't need to tell you that, you've already shot it. ;)

Great bow, and like all Hoyt's it's built with durability in mind. Solid choice.

A good friend of mine shoots one; I love it. As Mobow mentioned, its very smooth, reasonably fast, and extremely quiet. If I were to seriously consider a Hoyt, I would definitely pick up the Vulcan. I nearly bought one myself last year after shooting his.

Only thing I dislike, and its the only reason I don't own a Hoyt, is the weight. They're heavy -- to me. I'm a skinny guy though, so... :D

Actually, full set up it was almost a two pound difference between my Allegiance and his Vulcan. ;)

I can't switch. Its that whole stucker problem we talked about last night.

The Vulcan is a great bow. I just set up and sold one tonight. Pay no mind to the low brace height, you won't see an accuracy increase/decrease between the Vulcan and the Vectrix. Atleast I didn't. If I were to buy a Hoyt this year (which I'm not) I would get the Katera. Which is the same bow as the Vulcan, just with the z3 cam and a better set of strings and cables. IMO the Vulcan should have been the flagship bow last year, around here, the Vulcan was preferred more over the Vectrix. Alot of people over on AT, like them alot as well. Great bow.

Thanks for the Imput, maxed out at 70lbs +some change obviously im not sure what its exactly set for but its rated 60-70 and its turned down the whole way What type of a beman Team realtree arrow should i pick up the 300 or the 400, i'll be using a 100 grain tip... Any Imput would be greatly appreciated.

I honestly would go a different route than Beman. Not a knock against them, but I like Gold-Tip, Victory, and CarbonExpress alot better. They are all top notch arrows. In a Gold-Tip you would need a 5575, a Victory you'd need a 400, and in Carbon Express you would need a 250. If you insist on Beman though, depending on arrow length, I'd say you'll be closer to a 500.

Only thingI did not like was the noticable plop into the valley my Dad's had, other than that, it was a great bow. Dead accurate even with the short BH.

Well...
Dont leave me hanging what makes those arrows superior to bemans?? I'd just like to have some facts to back up your opinion.

Thanks

Just my personal preference.


For me, the Bemans are a little on the heavy side for me. Not to mention you can get tighter tolerences on the companies I listed above. I just think, for the money you can get a better shaft. If you want Bemans though, get Bemans.

We'll im open to change for sure, I'd just like to know some better arrows that would be cost compareable, my parents are going through a divorce right now and I dont really have much money laying around after my bow purchase.

thanks,
Ryan.

How much are you looking to spend on arrows?

Oh and I know where you're comming from on the divorce thing, I've been through 2 of them myself.

How long of an arrow do you shoot?


If you shoot a fairly short arrow, I would go with the GoldTip XT Hunters. If you shoot a short arrow, you can cut equally off both ends. The way GoldTip makes their arrows, is they sort them. With the ProoHunters they select only the best for a dozen, the rest get used for the XT's and Expeditions.So in short, all of their arrows are made the same, only sorted differently.Tough arrows too.
