Hoyt fanatic Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Thanks. I see your a Hoyt shooter so thats better. What would you say is the best Hoyt bow to get. I am a 15 year-old with a roughly 29.5 inch draw length and a 60 pound draw weight. I am looking for something not as expensive as the Alphamax. I was pretty much looking for something like the Katera or the Vectrix. What bow do you recommend? Email me at [email protected] cause I would like to ask you something else as well. Thanks.

Tim Andrus Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Only you can decide which one is better, go to your local Hoyt dealer tell him you want to shoot both and then make your decision on which one feels best tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) I'll help ya out here Tim ... There's not a whole different between the Vectrix and the Katera ... Katera Specs .... IBO SPEED (fps) ..... 330 AXLE TO AXLE ......... 33" MASS WEIGHT ........ 4.5 lbs. WEIGHT RANGE ...... 40# - 80# WHEEL ................... Z3 CAM & 1/2 System BRACE HEIGHT ....... 6" DRAW RANGE ......... 24" TO 30" LETOFF .................. 65 TO 75 % VECTRIX SPECS .... IBO SPEED (fps) ..... 316 AXLE TO AXLE ......... 33" MASS WEIGHT ......... 4.4 lbs. WEIGHT RANGE ....... #40 - 80# WHEEL .................... Zephyr Cam & 1/2 System BRACE HEIGHT ........ 7" DRAW RANGE .......... 25" TO 31" LETOFF ................... 75 TO 80 % The Vectrix ended up being the supped up version of the Trykon .. Either of these bows are a butt kicker, but as Tim has indicated you will want to visit your local dealer and shoot both of them and maybe even pick up the NEW ALPHAMAX and give it a try or two ...

Hoyt fanatic Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 My bow shop doesnt allow test-drives. Its a look and buy place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 My bow shop doesnt allow test-drives. Its a look and buy place. I'm not a "Pro Staffer" bud but, I'd find a place that'll let you shoot a few different bows. This is an "expensive" investment that you need to be happy with for a few years. Make sure the bow that you buy is one that will fit your needs for that... Just My $.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shorty785 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 if you really want a good bow get a ross cardiac or a mathews dxt those two are the best in my opinion but thats just my .o2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree fully Steve .. a Pro Shop that won't let you test drive an expensive investment isn't much of a Pro Shop IMHO .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt fanatic Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Its not really a pro shop. Its a sporting goods store. I still dont get it though. Do any of yall live in VA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Its not really a pro shop. Its a sporting goods store. I still dont get it though. Do any of yall live in VA? Really wouldn't buy a bow from a sporting goods store, but that's just me .. And what is it exactly you aren't getting ?? We are here to try and help .. so ask away .. I'm not from VA .. is that a problem ?? ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt fanatic Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Its not a problem. I was just wondering if anyone was in VA that knew a good pro shop. The place I get my bows at is personable and helpful. They fit your bow for you. I think im gonna get a Katera. I really like it. What do yall think? Katera or Alphamax?

VermontHunter Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I own the Katera and love it ... I see bigmoss has a Hoyt Trykon forsale in the classifieds ,, you might want to check that bow out .. He's and upstanding person, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him at all ..

Katera or Alphamax?I'm not sure you understand what we are trying to tell you. You really need to shoot them before you buy one. There are things each bow has, or doesn't have that you will like and or dislike. Take our advice and go shoot them somewhere, we will not tell you which one to get because we want what is the best one for you. Only you know what that one is after shooting it. Get what feels the best to you. Bowhunting isn't about brandnames. It's about feeling comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
