I dusted off my antique Hoyt Pro Vantage Tracer with recurve style limbs set at about 67 pounds in its day a very fast and forgiving bow. I put new strings on and still stacking them in consistant out to 40 yards even after not shooting it for over 3 years. I use a finger tab and have a set of tru glow sights and a hunter style peep,very basic set up. I shoot 100 grain 4 blade muzzys on gold tip arrows this ol bow is about 19 years old and has killed several deer and a couple hogs most with pass through shots some out as far as 42 yards. I know I should go with something newer .

I had went to a more modern set up for a few years and used a release with it I sold it back last summer with plans to buy something newer and faster but still have the forgivness so I can still use fingers just didn't work that way. My back up bow is a Bear Kodiak recurve 60#s now that is basic LOL

I was going to go out with this this year, but the bow does not fit too well in my stands and my draw movement just aint right on stand. I don't feel comfortable. It is 66"/45lbs. I need a smaller recurve with more poundage.

So...I will be shooting my Matthews again.

An Outback 62lbs/29" Beman 380-16's with 100gr Spitfire expandibles.

The Maxxis is smooth as silk... i had it down between the z7 and the maxxis and chose the maxxis for that reason... the draw is awesome.. im pullin back 68# and it feels like im pulling back 58#... rock solid backwall with no creep... plus the bow is tested to 1000 dry fires... (so they claim) i obviously wouldnt try this... but hoyt has a name for durability... as for the rest.. i like it a lot... i dont know if there is something off with the timing, but i can see on my fletching that there is some contact going on... luckily it isnt effecting my shooting... in all seriousness though... the maxxis/ carbon express maxima hunter arrow combination has made me a better shooter...here is a pic of a 50 yard group... mind you i only did this once ever... normally my groups are about 5" @ 50 yards...
