Anyone shoot vertical and horizontal?
 
No, not with the same bow.:D Since the crossbow as become my primary hunting implement, my ability to shoot a compound vert bow as greatly improved. Not a shock, since I've dropped my draw weight and length of pull. I no longer get a snit about trying to shoot well with high draw weights. In fact, I'm just about to drop some cold, hard-earned cash on a pretty colored Hoyt target bow. Or make it Realtree, just in case:)

I shoot both, but rarely have my Exocet because friends always borrow it claiming that I don't need it because I have my compound.
I bought the cb 1st simply trying to take advantage of the longer archery seasons, when I realized how much I loved the challenge of deer hunting with a bow I bought my compound.

The love my Ultra Tech. No complaints whatsoever. No ideas on the 2007 bows though. Mine is only a 50/60 and is fast and flat enough. My 60/70 lb Jennings is FAST but not as forgiving nor does it have as nice of a grip. I think the Hoyts have the best grip in the idustry but that is my opinion on how it feels in my hand. Have the best of both worlds and get a great compound.

I'm looking to upgrade from my old MT Sport. I do have a Bowtech BlackKnight and that thing has a HARSH draw cycle. Looking at the new Trykon Sport or Selena. Both are short draw bows. I do like the parallel limbs on the Trykon, though. I noticed that Hoyt limbs look very similar to TenPoint limbs. Coincidence?

Hoyts are pre-stressed moulded, laminated limbs. Whe relaxed the limbs have a noticable wave to them. You can see it in their catalogue. I don't see them as similar. What is your drawlength? I am kind interested in the deflex bow for its forgiveness. Although my Jennings is a hot rod (322 ft/sec IBO) it does not forgiving when form is not great. The Ultra Tech is almost perfect. Again, donno the new Hoyt line that well. If I get another compound it will be the deflex bow 38 Pro. I do not like the looks of a parallel limb bow and I certainly do not like the draw cycle.

Just the fact that they're "split limbs" makes them similiar, not much else. My DL is 25". I like itty-bitty short bows with short brace heights. Max poundage for me is about 50 lbs. I have shot up to about 56lbs, just not very accurately.;) The Trykon Sport, with 50 lb max draw, 6.5" brace height, and that nice little grip sounds about perfect for me. C'mon tax return time!
