Default Katera XL

What is everyones opinion on the Katera XL? I was thinking about trading my Trykon for one, just wanting to hear what others thought of this bow.

I have just shot one in the shop and LOVE the draw cycle,much better than the Trykon imo.I have a bad shoulder and was able to pull it with ease at a higher poundage than I currently shoot.

It heald fairly steady as well,not as steady as a true competition bow but more than adequate for a hunting model.


It was quiet and smooth,even without any extra stabilizer or dampening devices.


IMO,a great choice for hunting.

Definately on my short list,if I decide to buy this year.

TFOX - Thanks for the reply. I am heading to the local Hoyt dealer today, he said he has a few of every model of bow setup so I can do some arrow flinging. I have a bad shoulder as well, partially tore my rotator cuff 2 winters ago.

The Trykon is definately not overly smooth, but it sure does shoot good. Trying to decide now if I want to trade it, or just keep it for a backup bow.

You will love the draw of the Katera XL over the Trykon,especially with the shoulder.


Take a look at the 7-37 as well,that is a real shooter.That bow holds like a rock at full draw.

I have shot the XL and the smaller Katera, both phenominal bows. I shot a lot of bows in the last month and the Katera was my favorite by far, smooth draw and extremely forgiving for such a low brace height.
