Hoyt Xtec
 

Well I just bought a new bow and here I go again. I am looking for a good target bow and have found a hoyt xtec for a good deal. Just wondering if anyone has shot around with one of these and how they like the bow. Also looking for ideas on other good compound target bows.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

I love my xtec for hunting and maybe playing around in 3-d in the hunter class but it would not be my first pick for a pure "target" bow.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

How about a Mathews apex 7.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

Apex 7 is a target bow,especially for 3-d.


If you are looking for a spot bow,you may want to be closer to 8" brace and 40" a-a,especially if it is spot specific.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

Alright how about a hoyt vantage pro. Found one for 550 used. Is that a good good bow and good deal?

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

Vantage Pro is an awesome target bow and that is a good price.

My last post was supposed to say the apex 7 is a good target bow.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

Alright well the apex 7 is an 07 for 425 bare bow. The vantage pro is an 09 but used and has light scratches on the limbs in the center and is 550. If they are both good bows what would you go with. The apex 7 would be a better 3D bow probably especially on some more realistic courses where I may have to stand at a weird angle to get a good shot and it is cheaper. But it's a Mathew's. I also found a hoyt Pro elite with xt 3000 limbs for 425.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

If the vantage pro has 2000 limbs,it would be an awesome 3-d bow as well.I shot with a guy this weekend shooting that same bow for 3-d.Especially if you have a draw length of 28" or more.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

yeah has the xt 2000 limbs on it. my only concern is the scratches on the limbs the guy doesn't have a really good pic of the limbs to show the scratches or they must be very small and insignificant. Bow has new winner's choice strings as well. Not sure if those are good strings or not.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

I think id go with the vantagepro. They are only offered with 2000 limbs on them... The guy TFOX mentioned is shooting his vp at 28 or 28.5 and is getting 286 out of his i believe. Good speeds, adn they hold just as well as a pro elite. I asked a similar ? on AT. most of the people said they would get thevp over thevejust b/c the price difference. One guy had both, and said the ve doesnt hardly shoot any better at 40yds...

I plan on getting a vp next year unless i find a newer proelite or vantage x8 (same as the pro, w cam 1.5+ instead of spirals)

If you dont get the pro, tell the guy ill trade him my AM35 for it:D

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

Lefty bow so that probably won't work drockw

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

A sleeper of a target bow is an 2007 Hoyt 38 Pro with the XT2000 limbs. It flat out pounds. With the cam 1/2 option, you'll have close to 9" of brace height and 39" ata. You can pick up the camo ones pretty cheap if you look around.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

Alright well once I added up the bare bow and accessories I was going to be over budget with the vantage pro. I found a 07 PSE Mojo for 350. It looks like it would be a good target bow. 8.5 BH and 39 5/8 A-A.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

I know a guy who shoots a mojo REAL well. They arent bad bows.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

Well I ended up with the 07 PSE Mojo for 325. Sorry hoyt fans had to take the best deal I'm just a poor college student.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

Don't be sorry,looks like good numbers on that bow and it should suit you well.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

Yeah thanks for the suggestions TFOX on A2A and BH. I knew I needed a longer a2a and bh but you gave me a clearer idea of what I needed for spot shooting. The Mojo covered the A2A and BH and came at a decent price as well. I got a Axcel sight and infinity rest to go with the bow. I just need to find I good scope, stabilizer, and some good target arrows. Anybody have any suggestions for those and remember I'm on a budget.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

For the money, it's hard to beat the CR scopes and lenses, Lancaster ARchery carries them. Depending on how that bow balances out, you may need to look into a V-bar setup also. Arrows, well you'll get a bunch of answers, but for dots, a friend who shoots pro for Mathews got me onto some 2613's with 300 grain points and 4" feathers. Some guys use the 2712's, 2512's etc.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

Agreed,just try to get them to spine out for you.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

any ideas what arrows and points I would need with Easton Fatboy arrows. I'm not a big aluminum arrow guy.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

Competition Archery products make a machined 150 grain point for that arrow. They are called Pro Points.

RE: Hoyt Xtec
 

I have some Carbon Express XJammers that would be great for indoors. I loved them, and they did their job but ever since i lengthened my DL they are now too short:( I have half a dozen of them and they are fletched with blazers. I believe they have 150gr. points (they have weights in them). Just pm me if your interested. Id let em' go pretty cheap;)
