(POLL) Sell the Hoyt or wait??
 
Relax Bowtech and Matthews lovers:) I love my Hoyt......BUT.....Shhhhhhhh...I've been sniffing on a DXT....quiet don't tell.

I own a Hoyt Havoctec and its flawless...confident with it....low maintenance.....can't hurt it....and I love her more because she took a doe at 53 yards this year....YES...with a range finder...I'm not that good...

Should I hold her for a few years? Or start my quest for a new bow...?? Here are my experiences...My old Matthews...chewed up strings...my buddies Bowtech...cracked limbs.....easy....don't chew on me too hard....what should I do? I have an open mind.

This is how I look at it... That Havoctec as great of a bow as it is, isn't worth as much to anyone else as it is. It's resale value isn't going to be that great. Not squeezin' you here, just telling the truth. I say keep the Hoyt and do whatever you have to do until you can get another one. It never hurts to have that bow in the double bow case.

I sort of had the same dilemma with my Razortec... didn't want to get rid of it but couldn't really justify having that and spending the cash on a new one. So, I "sold" the Razortec to my dad for a ridiculously low price knowing that he won't ever get rid of it and at any time if I decide I want it back... I can get it cuz I know how much he paid for it ;)

If Hoyt has never let you down I wouldnt think of changing brands only upgrading model maybe.

Stick with Hoyt, but upgrading is always fun.:D;) May not be the fastest or lightest bows on the market, but they dont make em any tougher. Im not for certain, but whenever I do buy a new bow (vectrix stays regardless), I have a feeling another Hoyt will enter the lineup.

Heck by the end of the season you might be able to get a deal on thisVectrix that I have now. It may have another new set of limbs by then too!:D

To me the new Hoyt's are very reliable. I think you should hold onto thisi one and get another.

I'm a thinker... sometimes:D

Another "kind of funny" story that pertains to this... FYI my dad and I are very close. He bought me as Benelli Super Black Eagle II for my college graduation gift. Well I bought him the same thing for his 50th birthday last september. While he was showing my grandma, she goes "Geez Jerry, that's a really nice shotgun" and my dad turns and looks at me with a giant grinand says, "yeah, Dustin's no idiot, he knows that when I kick the bucket... he'll have two!" What could I say to that!?!?

**EDIT** Mich, I still say keep the bow:D

Dude, as a fellow hoyt shooter, I'm appalled.

You're going to get rid of THEE best brand of bow, ever (period!), and get a m..m...mat...? Come on dude, you and I both know better.

A DTX, or DXT (whatever)to boot? Just get one of these (see pic below), same thing, a toy;).......Stick with the Hoyt!





**authors note**
This post was typed with a lot of sarcasm, but I stillthink you should stick with Hoyt[8D]
