2002 Hoyt Cybertec
I am looking at a used cybertec and I am worried about the brace height. The bow I currently shoot has a 7.5" and the cybertec has a 6 7/8" brace. Should I be concerned about that? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

RE: 2002 Hoyt Cybertec
Billy ... the Cybertec is a great bow I shot one all indoor and 3D season last year and have taken 4 deer here in Ohio with it. That bow at 29" and 62# shot a 318 gr. arrow at 301 fps. It is very quiet,and will put an arrow where you hold it every time..NOW... I must say that my cams were the CC+ type. And I feel those cams are more forgiving than the one cam. Hope this helps
My hunting arrow is a little heaver and is shooting 286 fps.. but it is so quiet and works so well I'll have a hard time changing bows this year..((A SUPERTEC IS ON ITS WAY))

RE: 2002 Hoyt Cybertec
Are you sure it is 6 7/8, or is that what it says it is in the specs. I think it differs depending on configuration and set up. I would measure it and yours and compare them that way.
Another thing to keep in mind is overall bow geometry, not just brace. What is the geometry of the bow you currently shoot? ATA, brace, reflex. All those go hand in hand and you need to look at all of them. If your current bow has a short ATA, 3 inches of reflex in the risor and you have a normal to long draw, that is not a very forgiving set up, even if it does have 7 1/2 inches of brace. Going to a bow like the cybertec with a longer ATA, better reflex geometry(less) and a 6 7/8 inch brace(that's almost 7 by the way) would be a more forgiving set up. That is not even taking into consideration the risor design, awsome grips, and laminated limbs. I myself would rather have less brace than more reflex, but that is a personal thing.
The best thing to do is shoot it and see how it feels.
Is what I am saying is look at the whole picture, not just the brace height, especially when you are only talking like a half an inch.

RE: 2002 Hoyt Cybertec
The cybertec that I was looking at does indeed have a 6 7/8" brace height. It has the versacam. I currently shoot a relfex bighorn. It is 40" AtA and a little over 7.5" brace. As far a reflex and deflex risers they go hand in hand with the brace height. So my setup is pretty forgiving compared to the cybertec.
