Beautiful bow👍

 

I shot the new Hoyt aluminums yesterday. The 29 was in that color and while I'm not usually a fan of it, it was very very nice on that bow.
Congrats!

 

Even better in EVII

 

Congratulations on a great looking bow. Enjoy and God Bless.

 

Thankfully left hand & 50/60 are hard to find or I'd probably have that model too.

 

Great looking bow.

 

Sweet bow my guy, I went with the same one and it’s been a joy to shoot! First short (>30”) ata bow I’ve had in several years but it honestly feels better and more stable than some of the 33” bows I’ve had. I like it more than my VTM 34 and it feels like they addressed my gripes with that model. Wilderness looks sexy on these things.

 

What draw lengths are you guys at?
Sting angle ok?

28” dl, string angle feels great; very natural and I don’t need to tip my head or anything. I was between this and the lift 29.5, the strong angle on the lift was sharper and I needed to tip my head a bit. That was a major deciding factor for me.

 

Your note of the “quality being second to none” is still what strikes me with Hoyt. Lots of great bows out there but the over-engineering on Hoyt is something I can’t get away from lol. PSE makes awesome bows but man those cams and limbs are thin. Bowtechs feel precise and exact but also delicate. Hoyt seems to embody the best of both precision and durability. Now in a world where the average bow gets sold or retired a year or two after being bought new for the “latest and greatest” durability and longevity is probably a moot point for most. It’s just nice to have quality in a world where costs are insane, and should you want it to be, a piece of equipment can be the last you’ll ever need to buy.

 

Sweet looking bow.

Honestly, you are a hot mess and need help

 

I ordered a 29 today. Black riser bottomland limbs. 27 inch draw was getting really good speeds. Really nice feeling bow.

 

Traded sequel 31 st2?

 

Yes.
Both Sequels were and are awesome bows, I just put enough arrows through them to know I missed the Hoyt.

 

This^^^^^

 

Nice looking bow!

 

Nice!

 

I was concerned with string angle. I did not compare it directly to the 29.5 X the other day and should have. Hard to believe the X with larger cams has a worse string angle 🤷‍♂️ Another reason to revisit.

It is a snappy little bow, my arrows were in the target before I hit the release!

Like most bow junkies, I spend (too) much time on YouTube watching reviews. PJ at LAS said he had no issue with the AX-2 29 at 30" of draw and he was doing mighty well at 60yds on a windy day.

Short lister here....

I had mentioned the string angle comparison in a different thread; I think it was Ravinhood who pointed out that the point where the string comes off the cam has a big part of this. The way the lift limbs almost curl in toward the riser kinda offsets the massive cams as far as string angle.

 

It's crazy how much limb flex the Mathews have compared to other companies.

I have seen some reviews that measure dynamic brace height and the Lift platform actually decreases at full draw, by at least one inch. I think this leads to causing a steeper string angle as well.

Hoyt and PSE both have a greater brace at full draw from the tests I saw.

Hoyt has been touting a better string angle in their systems since the Defiant series due to cam position at full draw.

I think it has to flex that much due to the Switch weight design.

 

Can’t beat these Hoyt bows, and yes that is a sweet looking bow.
Good luck

 

Update:
25 degrees and 15-20 wind is better than the last week, so I got to shoot it outside a bit this morning. LOL.
Immediately noticed it has to be the flattest and fastest shooting bow I have owned to date. Being 28" draw and at the top of the #3 cam ............. "She Fast!"
Getting 20 on the sight tape is usually a very early indication for me on how the bow is going to shoot for me at distance also, so I am pretty excited with how well the bow held and shot. Bow and bubble settled very quickly on target.
Looking forward to the weather warming up to play with stabilizer set-up and getting my tape finished.
For treestands and ground blinds this one will be hard to beat.

 

50's here next week, hope you get the same. Tired of Winter.

 

Suppose to be in the 40s but back in the 20s again

 

76 and sunny today

 

Got the same one! Been shooting every day here in Colorado. Often with snow on the ground in my backyard :

 

and how do you like it?

 

HOYT'S ANSWER

Hello, look what happened to me and HOYT is not responsible, bow bought in Spain

 

Interesting

 

Admit it, how did it happen?

 

a normal shot, jump rope, whether you like it or not
