John E's Question:




!!SNIPER!!'s Answer

Hoyt boys are in the top of the line. I have had one before.
As others have said you need to have the draw length set.
I am 5'11" and have a 28 1/2 in draw length. My Mathews Drenallin is set to 70 lbs
Here is a link that gives you information on just about anything you need to know about draw length and weight.

Although I adjust my own draw length and weight I would recccommend you take yours to the pro shop to have it set. Until you become knowledgeable in area.

Your arrow length will be decided by your draw length and most pro shops have the equipment to cut arrows down.

Good luck and happy hunting

's Question:
with limb slapps, between the string and limbs, and cat wiskers.



dumdum's Answer

Due to the design of the recurve bow, they are all smooth shooting and smooth drawing.Unlike the longbow, which has a considerable amount of "stack" in the system. In other words it feels like you hit a brick wall when getting near your draw length.About the smoothest longbow on the market is the
Montana Long bow now owned and put out by Bear Archery.

But the limb slaps and the cat whiskers do not contribute to smoothness, but rather quietens the shot.

Bryan S.'s Question:
I am getting ready to buy a new bow after this season, and i have narrowed it down to the mathews or the hoyt. At first i was leaning towards the hoyt because of the price but i recently discovered that the local pro shop carry's both bows for the same price.



dumdum's Answer

Hoyt makes a fine bow, but the Katera is not my favorite- they went for the speed by lowering the brace height, and this does not make a forgiving hunting bow.The Dxt is a great hunting bow.However, you should check out the Bow-Tech Guardian while you are deciding. Good luck.
