2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website

Say hello to my new hunting bow! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> &quot;Ain't&quot; that Razortec just plain sweet-lookin'! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>


I am also predicting that the Dynatec will be one of the best, if not the best mid price range sellers out there.

That should somewhat sum it up Frank.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

The Razortec don't look to shabby, but I have never been a real fan of split limb bows.

I do have one question for you though. Are they shipping from the factory with leeches on them? And are these bows consider dual cam bows?

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

My dealer told me they are coming from the factory with the leaches. From my experience with them, they shouldn't take too long to shoot off the bow. As for the cam question, it depends on who you ask...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

I wish they listed prices.

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

Yeah, how much can we expect to pay for this new technology?

All you Hoyt shooters out there where is the best place to get a good price on a new bow? Most of the local shops seem pretty high but I didn't know if anybody else sold lower and made up for it in volume.

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

IBM,

Yes, the new Hoyt bows come with not only limbsavers but the newer style of string leeches as well. I will be taking mine off as soon I get the new bow. I have no faith in them.

I do not believe these are to be considered dual cam bows. I think it was Len that pointed out the rigging on not only the new &quot;cam and a half&quot; but also on the Darton CPS system as well as most conventional single cam bows. Plus, both of the &quot;eccentrics&quot; on the cam and a half are different from one another. I would assume that by definition a &quot;dual cam&quot; would need to have the same exact cam on the top limb and on the bottom.

As for prices.....I don't have an answer for you. I am assuming that the prices will have remained relatively unchanged this year. So, you could probably expect prices in the $570 to $600 range for all of the XT2000-machined aluminum riser TEC hunting bows. Prices for the Magnatec and MTSport should also be similar to last year depending on limb style. The Dynatec should be around $400 if I am not mistaken but again, that is all just conjecture.

Maybe some of the others, like Len, etc..., might be able to help as they probably get the price lists quicker than the rest of us folks.

Hey Frank hope you don't mind me asking but doesn't a dual cam system have two power cables? I also saw posted somewhere a Hoyt engineer said this is not a dual or single cam?...

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

Frank,

The Razortec is ok but it doesn't have the magic.
You need to get a bow with some magic.
I resisted for two years and now have the magic.
You need to experience it too, my friend.
Come on over!
Pinwheel and I, plus everyone else, are waiting on you. : )

Cabelas4toys,

What state are you in?

Winger

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

BS,

Yes. Technically I believe you are correct. Going by what said Hoyt engineer posted it is a matter of perspective. An individual could look at it as either a single cam, dual cam or something totally different depending on what criteria we are considering. I like to consider it as a non-traditional single cam. How is that for adding more to the mess? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Sag...Sag....Sag...

You need to remain open-minded my friend. You become too transfixed on one brand or another. Take a step away from the Merlin and experience the rest of what the world has to offer....<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

Prices, I have been told are up $25, or around there, from last year. Might have to hold off a while and wait for Frank to &quot;test&quot; a couple and grab them off of ebay when he's done with them. :)

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

I don't want to start to much trouble here.<img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>

But.....aren't most bow companies trying to quiet their bows down so that the shooter don't need any silencing attachments? But not them hoyt boys, lets just slap some leeches and limbsavers on and call it good. Them silly guys that buy our bows won't know any better!<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

Stinky,

That &quot;28-30&quot; draw length range model Razortec will be up on Ebay as soon as my 31 inch model arrives, so keep your eyes open....<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>. It should hopefully be here before Christmas...:)

IBM,

Come on now....ya have to remember that you get those leeches and those limbsavers factored into the cost of the bow. Do you see any other $600+ bows giving away free accessories? <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

Sorry, Frank, I stay away from discussing prices on the Internet. Too many are totally price conscious and may foolishly avoid a good PRO Shop who may be properly trying to be compensated for exceptional service.

Isn't Sag really an indication that you are an old lady and this is what your boobs are doin'? I know you want us to all think it is Sagittarius. We know better. Get a man's bow. Buy American!



&quot;Size isn't important, but it HELPS!!!&quot;

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

Len,

Sorry about that, I seem to have forgot about the sensitivity of that issue. I am not/was not asking you to directly list your prices but rather to give an indication as to whether or not they were in the same ballpark as last year's. :)

Sooner,

Oh No..<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>....Don't start on Sag. He is a good guy and very knowledgable....just a little misguided....<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

C'mon Frank...you ought to know better. I didn't get any accesorie with my less than $600 bow!! Well atleast no accesories for the bow<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> But I got this awesome hat, that must be made like the bow, cuz it is over a year old and I still wear it almost every day!! The keychain works wonderfully to hold my ATV & motorcylcle keys.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

On a serious note. Do they offer that razortec or any other tec bow with a solid limb? If they do, would you get one, that way I can try to buy it when you sell it on E-Bay. Never know when I may need a backup bow.

IBM,

Well, I could go into how Hoyt's XT2000 limbs are superior to most other companies' solid limbs but I don't want to get P12 all flustered....<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

If you can get yourself to break free from your anxiety then that Razortec will be waiting for you on Ebay in a month or so....<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Winger, Iowa (sorry so late)

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

I looked at some of the 2002 bows at Scheels spoorting goods and they wanted over $700 for them.

No offense to the archery shop guys but some go beyond what I consider a reasonable mark-up for the service provided. And to be honest the service provided at a lot of them ain't all that great. Now I know some are, and I have found one in my area I really like, but the shop I bought my current bow in is crap and the guy in the new shop has done a lot to help me correct the thing they either didn't do or did wrong.

I'd buy my bow through him in a second but they won't give him a Hoyt dealership because a new Scheels is opening nearby next year. I really like my Hoyt but I really hate their distribution policy!

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

Sooner Hunter,

I already own the finest bow ever made in America. The Bowman Accu-Riser!
Also own a custom Red Man, Hoyt Superstar, PSE Mach 8 and Mach 10
All great American bows.
Plus 3 custom recurves also made by American craftsman!
Hey, just because a bow is made in America doesn't mean it's superior.




Sag.

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

If the primary complaints are the price, the name and the way it looks, it must be worth looking at seriously. The bow must be something special if that's the best they can do. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

Frank what are the draw lengths of the razor tec and the dynatec. I am hopeing for a draw length of 32 inches that I have. Its hard to find these you know.

brian

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

It will be interesting to hear Frank's report on the Razortec after he gets one. (A given, no?) Tec riser and split limbs with a cam system similar to the CPS. Wonder how the noise, vibration, and recoil will seem to a guy who's been shooting one cammers these last few years? One would think they should be able to make them pretty quiet though.:)

Avoid the inevitable until it is absolutely unavoidable!

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

I stopped at the local shop yesterday and asked if seen the new Hoyt models and what he thought. He said seen em I have them on the shelves. Apperantly he has a demo model of the RazorTec and the SuperTec.

So of course I jumped at the chance to shoot them. I fell in love with the RazorTec. It was so smooth, nice hard wall quiet and vertually no vibration with a small doinker and fast. The new cam and a half is supposed to be very easy to adjust draw length.

I was not particularly fond of the SuperTec. It has a very very hard wall, fast and smooth, low let off and a little vibration. Don't get me wrong it was very nice, just not what I was looking for, but I bet it will be one of the top sellers.

I am starting to save up, because that sweet little thing is going to be mine as soon as they are availabe. It is funny the wife did not think it would happen that way. I think I can sweet talk her into with the time I have.

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

Brian,

The Razortec is only offered up to 31 inches...and from what I can tell so far that is a true 31 inches..not 31.25 or 31.5...so you are a little bit out of luck on that one. Same things goes for the Dynatec as well. Sorry.

Jeff,

You are gonna love this one. Imagine taking the Darton CPS system's smooth draw and respectable speed and coupling it with a quiet release and vibration whatsoever.

Say Hello to the Hoyt Razortec. :)

I have to go set it up and do some &quot;reviewing&quot;...be back soon.

Oh...and &quot;ditto&quot; on Upnorth's comments.

RE: 2003 Hoyt lineup is on their website
 

thanks Frank I guess I will be looking at the bowtech pro 38 for my 32 inch draw. thanks agian
