RE: What bow are you getting?
I have my "Pro38"....miss my Mighty Mite, so it's going to be a toss-up it seems between another Mighty Mite and a Patriot.
It's probably going to have to be a Patriot.....then I'll get a set of 60# limbs for my Pro38 Dual cam to keep it just for 3D.

PABowhntr, I see that you sold your new bow already. What was the problem with it and why didnt you like it? Now it looks like your not even considering another Hoyt. Im not trying to bash honestly just wanted to know.

RE: What bow are you getting?
Renz,
Some folks on here don't realize what a "bow nut" I really am. I really only started posting on here about a year ago though I have been registered for over a year and half.
For the past two years I have been pretty much taken with the new Hoyts. I had a Magnatec, 2 Raiders, 4 Havocs and a Havoctec in that time period....and there were a few other bows from different companies durin that span of time as well.
Before that I shot Martin and Browning mostly though I had a couple PSEs, XIs and a Fred Bear or two. The total number escapes me right now but I would guess it to be over 25 in the last 5 years or so. Usually I have two bows at any one given time but money has been tight lately so I had to sell one of them to get some stuff for the house.
That left me with the Havoctec which I still consider to be the ultimate East Coast Hunter's bow...bar none. But, I couldn't ignore the fact that several folks whose opinions I respect were promoting Bowtech diligently.
So, I figured I would give one a whirl. As I have stated before if I don't like it for some reason then it goes up on Ebay and I will buy another Havoctec..
As for "not considering another Hoyt bow besides the Havoctec"....I never really said that....but I have been shooting Hoyt for quite some time and I would like to own something different for awhile....
...if for no other reason than to prove I was right in the first place...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>....
Seriously though, there is nothing wrong with the Havoctec and I would still put it up against any other bow out there....but, how does that saying go, variety is the spice of life!

RE: What bow are you getting?
Been seriously looking at new bows for about 2 1/2 months now, and plan on getting one in about a month or so. I have it down to about 5 or 6 bows now, and plan on going down and shooting them all before making my final decsision. The bows I am looking at are the Hoyt UltraTec w/xt2000 limbs w/versa cam, or w/cc+. Also am looking at the ProTec w/xt2000 limbs w/cc+. Also plan on shooting the Bow Tech Patriot, Pro 38, and Pro 40.
