So you're a speed freak.:wink:

Of the 3 mentioned, I would go with the Slayer. But I haven't ever shot the GT500 so can't say I would rule it out. I didn't like the 82nd when I shot it.

Have you tried the Katera?

Personally I would wait another month and try the 09 models out before deciding.

Haven't shot any of those mentioned but an aquaintance of mine has the Slayer and I just think that his bow is super loud to the point of being annoying.

Actually I'm not really a speed freak it just my draw length is 27-1/2" and I want to push a 450 to 500 grain arrow a little faster than what I'm getting with sub 325 fps IBO bows. I what to shoot through trains!:wink:

New Bow!!

Davy. all great bows. I presonally shoot an Elite Z28 for the simple fact that I mainly hunt only. Every now and then I will go with a few of my buddies and shoot indoor 3D.
I am shooting 61.5Lbs at 28" with a 337 Grain hunting arrow right at 299-300 FPS. I am pretty pleased with that and this is by far the best bow that I have ever shot. It was between the DXT, GT 500 or the Z28. They all shot great, I just chose the Z it was more shock free than the DXT IMO and because I hunt more than anything else.

Shoot them all to see what feels best to you. Best of Luck and I hope you like you new bow. Doug

Dont know about 2 of them but didnt care for the 82nd just wasnt there for me . awaiting 09" hoyt superhawk:wink:

82 nd was pretty impressive but I fet every pound plus a couple that were not there when I shot it! If I where looking for the speed deal I would go with the XFORCE which was actually pretty smooth to me and pretty quite as well!

 

[Hoyt Havoc]

I've been a Hoyt guy and last year I bought a Vulcan. It was a great shooter and very fast. But I actually found it to fast for my liking...I like 5 pin sights...20,30,40,50,60. The Vulcan made me try a slider sight which I didn't like. (I never thought of getting a heavier arrow) So I sold it and bought an Old Glory in target color. I regreted the color and traded for a Justice which was the smoothest bow I ever shot. I loved it until I put a new string/cable and now she's messed up. So I'm back to the '03 Havoctec. The thing is dialed in and always shoots great. 287fps is perfect speed for me. It's a killing machine. But next summer I'll get that Diamond dialed in and think I'll like it more. And being from Wisconsin, I'm going to Have to buy a Switchback (to support the local business) But the old Havoctec will always be with me until I die as well as many others.:wink:
