Hoyt Bows
 
I am thinking about buying the Vipertec, just wondering if it is a good bow?

Just sold mine about a week ago. I hunted with it for a season and I thought it was a great bow. Smooth shooting, quiet, light, and nice and short. I would recommend shooting several different bows before making a decision, but you certainly can't go wrong with anything in the Hoyt lineup.

It is a good bow, but there are alot of good bows out there. Find one that feels right to you. You can't go wrong with a Hoyt.

Best short bow on the market, shoots like the big boys.

Jklass,

Im gonna agree with the rest of them, you HAVE to go and try the different bows. Pick what feels best in your hands!!!


EXCEPT....

Is this going to be your first bow? Are you a beginner?

The Vipertec is not going to be a very forgiving bow with a low brace height and short axle to axle.

I had two vipers, (before they went to the tec riser) and while they were super fast, and I shot them rather accurately, I would never recommend them to a beginner.

If you are a beginner, let us know, because there are some more things you should know before you make the "leap" and buy a bow.

Take care---Matt:)

I found the XTEC to be a much more forgiving bow for a beginner. It's fast, accurate, and very quiet. Don't go for the most compact bow you can find unless you actually need something that small.

I also would not suggest a viper to a new shooter, but I have shot one for a year now and I have never shot a short bow that is so forgiving. Nothing like the old viper from a few years ago. Go to your pro shop and try all there demo's. I would never by a bow on a recommendation without shooting it, and comparing.
I would be doing you or anyone a disservice buy saying to buy or not to buy it.

Hello folks, I am new to the web site.
I also have Hoyt Cybertec. I am interested in new arrows but have not kept up on the latest and greatest. Is there really that much difference beteen carbon arrows that cost over 100.00 and those that might be last years, and cost half that much.

weight 60-70- at 70 currently
draw 26-29.5- arrow length 27in including nock

thanks.:eek:
