Or, do you think there is something better? These bows seem to change little from year to year, is this due to perfection? I mean, how much better can they get? And no, this is in no way a sarcastic thread.
Could the Hoyt Elite series be the best target bows ever produced???

Looking at results of tournaments over the past 5 years, I would have to agree that Hoyt Pro Elite and Ultra Elite bows are clearly the best target bows made.

I've owned Hoyt and I've owned Mathews--- both are good bows. Here's the rest of my thoughts---------
The Brand Name Cult:
The archery industry is often plagued by a "better than your bow" mentality - as brand loyalty seems to often get out of hand. Some bow manufacturers even seem to develop a cult-like following of shooters - who'll openly malign any other brand of bows (just visit an online archery forum). This is unfortunate for beginning archers since you are bound to receive one-sided advice which may or may not lead you to a good bow purchasing decision. So beware of any advice declaring one type or brand of bow to be "the best". Imagine being told that a Subaru, for example, is "the best" kind of car - and that every other brand was totally inferior. Ridiculous right? The Subaru is certainly a fine automobile, but it's not appropriate or practical for everyone. There are many other high quality brands and models you could choose from. The same is true for compound bows. The Point: There is no "best" brand or "best" type of compound bow, so don't barricade yourself in too deeply on any particular bow manufacturer's ranch. The bow that is best for you is the bow that best fits your purpose, your size and strength, your shooting style, your skill level, and your budget. Whether that particular choice is popular or not should be irrelevant.
Statistical Deception in Advertising:
If the Nike shoe company paid the world’s 50 fastest sprinters to wear only Nike brand shoes during competitions, it would be no surprise that most of the big races would be won by athletes in Nike shoes. Would it be fair then to conclude that Nike shoes make runners go faster? Of course not! But the company could make it seem that way if they advertised the race statistics without mentioning the paid endorsements. Sadly, some archery manufacturers use this same little trick to entice buyers, and it usually works. Beware of advertising campaigns that lead you to believe their brand of bows are more accurate, and tempt you with "stacked" statistics on how many tournaments their bows win. The Point: Bows don’t win tournaments any more than shoes win races. The most talented runners win races and the most talented shooters win archery tournaments. Many factors are involved in accurate shooting (proper fit, careful tuning, good technique, etc.). A good high-quality bow is just one part of the equation.

From 2003 to 2005, Hoyt has won 49 tournaments versus 29 wins for all other manufacturers combined. That is quite an achievement. I think the numbers speak for themselves.

Its what is best for the shooter....
This could go on for days like this.
Ask a Mathews shooter what the best, of course its the bow company he shoots for, ask a Hoyt guy the same question ge tthe same type of response.
Ask a shooter that shoots both within 5 min. of each other it is whatever fits them the best.
Its just like Ford and Chevy. Hoyt and Mathews. Nike and Reebok.
Yes in these words, the Elite series are the best bows Hoyt has ever made. Just like the Apex is the best bow Mathews has ever made. Can you compare the two? Not really.

It is no secret that Hoyt has always made fine target bows , and I've shot alot of them over the years and you ill probaby see more Hoyts than anything else at most target tournaments (at least around here).
Right now I shoot an Apex which is a fine target bow also (for me) , is it better ? no , but it is a bow that shoots well (for me) at this time , next one might be a Hoyt if it feels right.
Actualy this is is silly thread that seems to be started for the sole purpose of creating problems

ya , u cant compare Mathews 3D wins by sweetening the pot more than any other manufacturer which lures top pro am 3D shooters to Hoyts long target domination dynasty.
Sure...why not?
The Toyota Camry is the best car ever made....
Honda Superhawk VTR 1000 is the best motorcycle ever made...
The Yamaha Raptor 660 is the best ATV ever made....
Poltergeist is the best movie ever made....
Beretta 92 .40 cal is the best handgun ever made....
Fat Moe's has the best burgers ever made....

You had me listening until you go to the Beretta, then I knew you were joking.
With today's competition, not archery competition but manufacturer competition, and technological advances in the manufacturing process, I would bet that any top Hoyt shooter that switched to anyother top end bow would shoot almost as good, if not just as good.
to each his own, there are probably plenty of guys on here that can shoot their kids plastic recurves better than I can shoot a hooter shooter.

I have stated this many times.
Mathews Apex series and the Pro elite series by Hoyt are both the best bows at there on the market today. I would be happy shooting both.
