I just recently ordered my new Hoyt Carbon Matrix and im not paying 1600..950 out the door for mine. I think Hoyt is one of the best bows made but IMO every bow company makes a good bow, if they didn't they wouldn't be on the market. Almost every bow out there has been put through some sort of torture test and has surpassed. I don't think if you run over any cam its going to survive, and if you dont think this test Hoyt did wouldnt possibly damage the cam your blind, because yes they are testing the riser strength, but when they push that bow across the concrete and its digging into the asphalt is hurting more than the riser. But i still think this bow can fail just like every other bow. It all comes down to how well do you take care of your equipment. I still have a High country bow that is over 20 years old that i bow fish with and it shoots just as good as any new bow on the market.

I have been at this for MANY years and have seen way more stupid stuff than i would like to remember.
Hell,just read some of the threads posted and you can get an idea.
I even bought a bow from a shop for 100 bucks because they bent the riser.I took it home and straightened it,shot it a few months then sold it.
I just saw on another web site a question about how to set up a fall away properly and someone that works in a shop is completely wrong about his suggestion and told others that they were wrong.

Guess I have been lucky. When I first got a press, I had the economy type Apple for highly deflexed long limbs. The ones that would bend that riser. But all my bows were deflexed limbs like PSE had in the late 90's like my carrera and mojove. Then when I went to parallel limbs with bowtech, it was clear it wouldn't work. Nevermind bending a riser, it just wouldn't work, and went to the apple presses that that the fingers to compress the main end of the limbs.
I think I ended up giving my old press away. Couldn't sell it when the new limbs came out.
In my opinion, I think the riser like I have on my alphamax is a very stiff riser.
All I am saying on this thread is they were cool videos, but I and others expressed ways to really impress us.
And I have no idea how, but it turned into folks trying to say, I think hoyts reputation needs proving, and trying to tell me that hoyt doesn't need to do any more. Nothing can be further from the truth. If hoyt keeps up what they been doing, they will keep me a customer for decades to come. Just typical crap from the typical people. I pray hoyt doesn't offer him a position. Thats all I can say.

So what if I would like to see a dry fire test or an extreme test on cams and limbs. Thats my business. If I would like to see it, I would like to see it.
That guy has ran more people away from BT bows than anyone on the net.

Ben,
I have no idea who this guy is. As you can see his join date was Dec 2010 and he has never PM'ed me period.
He sure seems to have a chip on his shoulder. I guess he could be someone that has been banned and came back with a new ID. Other than that I don't know him at all unless it's from another forum.
As you can see from my posts I never attacked him but he sure came after me like I insulted his mother.
I really don't have anytime for such foolishness anymore and have pretty much learned to say my peace and then push the ITI button
