Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

Any of you guys looked seriously at HOYT KATERA ad??? Two thing in it really surprised me

and

That info blows me away. If that is the case though, I'd think they extend their lifetime warranty to 2nd and 3rd owners, etc.

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

They have beendoing these testssince the 2006Trykon.I believe there claims there bows are very well made.Extending the warranty to other owners is just to hard to keep track of.

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

Ive seen this, kind of hard to believe that any bow could withstand such tests. I dont think they would lie about it though.

It'll make me feel better if I ever dry fire mine at 68# just once, lol.

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

This is a bowtec site I'm not sure you can say anything good about Hoyt.

Bowtec guys rock.;)bowtecs are fast.;)bowtecs................

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

I have a Mathews... and would buy a hoyt or anyother bow before a lousy bowtech ;)

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

Why are Bowtech's lousy?

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

Its not that they a lousy its just this forum would dry up a blow away if it weren't for the constant tweeking, twistin,add ons destactions.
An atom smasher requires less maintance.[:-]

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

If you look at the bow industry objectively, Bowtech has probably advanced the technology of the compound bow more than most other companies. I think this has led directly to their success....IMHO...

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

You've got to be kidding...... lol....

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

boy thats hard to believe.
hoyts a great bow company nevertheless

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

If bowtech's technology is so new and revolutionized, why are they paying royalties on it? Great bow yes...awesome bow yes....Advancing technology more than any other bow company...:eek:no. All bow companies make great bows today, what gives with pushing bowtechs on any thread mentioning another brand?


This is getting kind of annoying now, Someone can't even make a post about Hoyt's dryfire process without someone else praising Bowtech, which was never even brought up.

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

HAHAHA>>>>>..ya right...........hoyt has them beat in the r&d.......

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

+1 It spreads faster than the flu....

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

Hoyt has been testing their laminated XT2000 limbs like this for years.I believe since they came out way back when.


There is a reason they have the lowest fail rate in the industry.

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

Hoyt builds & tests the best bow on the market. If you are going hunting bow failure is the last thing you should be worrying about. If I'm hunting in my back yard or in Wyoming I'm taking a Hoyt thats some thing you can count on.

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

Exactly why I decided not to buy one...nothing worse than folks trying to ram something down your throat. Not saying they don't make a good bow, but to have to hear about how great they are every time you mention another brand gets tedious and seems juvenille. As I said, it actually detered me from considering them.

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

Of course you really have to have numb nuts to dry fire a bow of any make.[:o]

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

LOL! Never a truer statement. Always nock an arrow, even if inside. Dry wall is easier to patch than a bow in pieces. Cheaper too.

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

I took my Trykon into Sportsman's about a week ago to use their paper tuning rack and shoot it through the chronograph. In the process my boss wanted to take a look at it.

I forgot to let him know that it had 80% letoff, unlike the majority of the bows on the shelf -- my mistake. He proceeds to draw it back and as he's letting down it slips from his fingers. Of course, theres no arrow on the string, so I turn around to hear "CRACK!" He dry fired it from about halfway to a quarter of the way back.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the bow. The string jumped the track, but other than that the bow was fine. I took it back and shot it through the paper one more time and it was shooting perfect.

I can't say for certain how many dry fires it could withstand, but standing up to ONE is enough for me. Tough bow.

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

Actually it was Bawanajim being a smart arse who brought up Bowtechs. ;)
Then somebody else said they were lousy. Only then didONEperson come on anddefend bowtechs.
Hardly cramming bowtechs down your throat.:)


BTW, I dry fire my old oneida (accidently) at least once a month. Doesn't hurt it at all. My XI was dry firedseveral times without damage. Neither are leaders in the technology field.

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

... and that has what to do with this Hoyt thread?

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

Well, that's what I get for opening my BIG mouth!!!!

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

I was just pointing out where I got the facts I posted.;)

Being a non smart arse..

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

Think about it, you guys bring up bowtech in this thread and then complain about thebowtech presence. How much sense does that make? [:@]



You want to talk about Hoyts, then talk about Hoyts. yeesh.

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

Yes Dear, Any one mentions ... .... again and

I like my Hoyt this much...

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

While it's fun and quite normal to brag about our bows like we brag about the size of our "you know what", some people honestly believe that their bow is the "god almighty" of bows. Too many people focus on the name and brand, when the simple fact of it is, the best bow is the bow that feels most fomfortable to you and meets all your needs. Bowtech makes a great bow, but as people try to push them down others throat, they are quickly replacing Mathews as the "Ralph Lauren" of the bow world. (Big Name and Big Price) As far as I am concerned, there isn't a bow on the market that couldn't harvest any animalwe have harvested with the bows we have, weall have preferences to things such as speed, noise, brace height, axle to axle, among others. I have the Katera, love it, fullfills all my needs, and it replaced a Parker Fontier 2 plus thatkilled everything I shot at. The Katera is much like the Parker, but has less vibration and ALOT quieter, which is the reason for the replacing. Now, I know this will surely bring out some controversy, but it's like this. It's notthe name of your bow that kills a deer, it's how you shoot it!

Hoyts RULE!!!!!! LMFAO!

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

Well said.....

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

Im gonna look at the Bowtech 82nd because I need to keep on top of the game. My Trykon is too slow!!! If that Bowtech fits the need than cha-ching! I was not considering BTechh until the Deer and Turkey Classic where I flung a few from the 101st and the 82nd. I gotta say... schweeet and smokin arrow speed.

Later on I see my bow guy Chad and tell him the experience... he calls me a traitor to Hoyt and pushes me. I swiftly whooped his ace and realize he sells BTech as well so I helped him up. Katera VS 82ND in the shoot off of champions. Winner takes the debit card.

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

And yet they pay Royalties to a little Bow company in Hale MI

DARTON;)

Here is an 7 year old Hoyt. These limbs look great, Btw this is hoyts only year they came out with a dual track idler wheel for single cams. It never really caught on, but a great idea,

Yeeeeeessssssssss!!!! hahaha........

I am not exactly sure about that,all that I have ever seen that was actuall fact on that was that they came to an agreement.I am not sure what that was.Is that agreement royalties,it might be or was it for them to quit advertising the way they were.:eek:

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

DING-DING here we go.....LOL

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

I'm sitting here wondering that, if Hoyt Katera's are so resistant to dry fires; do they maintain the 5 grains of arrow weight per pound of draw weight minimum that seems to be the industry standard? It would seem to me that if a bow can withstand that many dry fires, shooting a real light arrow isn't going to hurt it.

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

Just because the bow will withstand it doesn't mean the strings will or the axles will still be straight.

The strings and axles are what is hit hardest by a dry fire.And most never even check axles afterwards.

Hoyt has been doing this for years.

Even one of those manufactuers that does warranty bows that low on arrow weight seemed to have had a string failure in their demonstration at the show when they started doing it.Atleast that wasreported across the net.;)

Anyone actually see it?

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

This claim is for all TEC Risers and 5 Layer Limbs not only the Katera.Very good question about arrow weight Roskoe it sounds logical to me.I will try and do some research on this today.

RE: Hoyt KATERA ad...
 

Yep, they are finally starting to get close to catching up with everyone else.
