Hi guys
Just went to local shop yesterday and ordered a new Hoyt Trykon XL. I loved the way it felt and shot in my hands. I have a very long draw length 31'' , and will be shooting goldtip xt hunters. 7595's with blazer vanes, Thru a Whisker Biscuit. And Im guessing the WB can be mounted back a little further than the traditional prong style rests, to be able to let me shoot around a 2-3'' less long arrow than my draw length. (28-29'' long arrow)
I was tossing up between what poundage to go with, the 50-60 or 60-70.
The dealer told me whatever lb bow I should go with I want to be as close to maxing out the poundage as possible , so the bow will shoot better.
The 50-60lb was at 60 and he said it would max out at about 62 or so. I shot this bow really great and it felt perfect after shooting probably 20 or so times in a row I was still feeling good. ANd didnt feel pressured to realease to soon cause of the weight.
On the 60 to 70lb bow it was set at about 65lb or so ( the minimum lbs I guess this bow should be setup in order to shoot its best ) and I could still pull it back with ease but noticed that well, it was deffinatly alot more work for me to get back but i could still get it back fairly easy but was thinking I deffinatly couldnt shoot this setup as much as the lighter weight bow.
Well long story short I ordered the 50-60 lb bow that I will max out , but in the back of my mind I still am wondering if I should of went with the 60 -70lb ,to be able to have that option of the higher poundage in case I need to hunt some african game or something ( I only wish- lol ) but actually it will be only used on whitetails and maybe someday ill be lucky to go after some bear or possible caribou or something.
What do you guys think , I was thinking its better to be able to shoot a lighter bow more accuratly more than a heavier one less and develop target panic or something. ANd blowout my shoulder more along the way.
Also am searching for a site , soooo many choices, What are you trykon shooters using. IM looking for the brightest fiber optic that I can also have a light attached also for maximum glow at dusk.
Thanks for any opinions
