No, not with the same bow.
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.

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.

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!
