Hoyt question
Hi,
I am wondering if (1)it is possible or (2)worth the time and money to set up a 2001 hoyt magnatec with the cam and 1/2 ?
(3)If this is possible what would I need to replace on the bow?(4) would there be any advantage to doing this?
The current set up is a magnatec with overdraw, 55#, 30in draw, shooting 26 ics 400 shafts and 100gr g5 montec broadheads.
I have emailed hoyt but have not gotten a response yet.
Thanks in advance for your input and thoughts in this matter.

RE: Hoyt question
I know that Hoyt mentioned the possibility of having several of their 2002 model bows retrofitted with the Cam and a half but I have heard nothing about the 2001 models.
In essence, you would have to change the cable, string and probably the limbs, at a minimum. From a cost perspective it would probably be better to just invest in a 2003 Magnatec.
Sorry I couldn't help more.

RE: Hoyt question
According to what gt was saying on Archery Talk forum,you would loose about 15# of draw weight if you keep the same limbs.I believe this was on the 2002 models and would suspect that the 2001 models would be about the same loss.
If you have to replace limbs,then the cost of a new bow wouldn't be much higher than changing the old bow over.My suggestion would be get a new bow and sell the old one.That should equall out the cost.
imho.
