Hoyt Vectrix

[Pete]

I have never been a big fan of the TEC riser or the Trykon but this newest addition to Hoyt's stable is interesting. It still has the TEC riser but it's not as aggressive as the Trykon. It incorporates an STS damping system Hoyt is calling the Stealthshot built into the riser and adds Sims modules at the ends of the riser called RizerShox. Two cam versions are offered, the Vector Cam & 1/2 (new) and the C2 Cam & 1/2. Being that I'm a PSE man and really leaning toward a Mach X it'll be really interesting to shoot this bow when it gets to the local proshop.

I will be shooting a Hoyt this yr. I do like the grip on the Tec riser, it seems to put your hand in just the right spot. Other then that, I dont know to much about them..I'll keep you posted.

The Tech riser is usually a love it or hate it deal. My shop has not had the pro38 in stock with the c2 cam yet. i have shot the vector cam a lot though, I really like it. I like the 38 ultra a lot as well as the vectrix and vetrix xl. the xl is much like the trykon xl, with a smoother cam. I'm still waiting for my Vulcan to come in. there are so many in now, just not an 80#er yet. hopefully soon. I'd like to finish the January Ct season out with it.

I personally am not comfortable with the TEC risers. Never felt right in my hand. But there's no denying that Hoyyt makes a great bow.

I was able to fondle one the other night. The Vectrix was very comfortable and balanced in my hand. Fit and finish were top notch.

I did not draw nor shoot it.

Nice rig though

I DID get a chance to shoot it and once again, the riser just isn't that comfortable to me. Great shooting bow and one that should do well. Aside4 from the discomfort for me, this was one GREAT bow. VERY fast with no vibration (thanks to their STS like addition) and great balance.

I am starting to become very attracted to the Hoyt bows.

I dont like the deep sweeping backbone but the more that backbone comes forward the better it is to me.

LOL. That was the one thing I was looking at tossing when I get one

I have shot them with and without the "sts thing". It just takes a very quiet and shock free bow and dampens it a little more.

I've been shootin Hoyts for several years, and owned several of them. There for awhile I was buying a new one every year. One of Hoyts biggest attractions and asset to me is the 2006 parallel limb design. I was wondering when they would jump on board. I bought the Trykon in Dec. 05 And let me tell ya, it is one of the smoothest drawing and releasing bows I've felt.
I aint one for bashing other bow companies. I'm a firm believer they all make goodun and bad ones. In the past I've owned there Turbo Tec, X Tec, V Tec, MT Sport, Magna Tec, and some that werent Tec's. I also owned Oneida, PSE, Martin and a few others I cant think of off hand. All were dang good bow and kill deer and turkey's.
I promised the Miss's I wont be purchasing a new Hoyt this year. That I have NO desire of so , do to the liking of the Trykon. The Tec Riser design is one of the most well design riser out there. The Tec Riser channels the vibraion through the truss design and away from the hand and grip. Where this would give a a low to zero hand shock or vibration. The Tec Riser has less flexing when fired, this would transfer to more consistant shots.
Theres such a heated debate when it come from "Solid Limbs VS Spit Limbs" Hoyt put a 5 layer laminated limb design. There per conntoured so the limbs would have uniform stress distribution. This would elimanate any pre bending or one of the 2 limbs collapasing before the other.
I've shot a lot of Different bows, Hoyts, Bow Tech, Mathews, Darton, PSE, Oneida, Martin, Bear, and so on. I find that bows are like trucks, theres Chevy or GM lovers and there Ford and Dodge lovers. The reason for that is perfrence, it worked well for ya threw out the years. I perfer Hoyt do to the smoothness , relieable, fairly quick, and quiet. It feels good in my hand, balanced and pretty much user friendly. My wife Sally was a Hoyt shooter, until she got her hands on the new Martin Tigress. My wife Saaly said Hoyt build a fine bow but alittle heavy for her. She looked at Mathews and was sold on Martin there "Tigress" a bow designed for the woman shooter. We both shoot 3-D and both consider our selve above average shooters. Were open minded folks and we enjoy bowhuntin and 3-D.
The new line of Hoyts on the market and 3 of my "Pro Staffs" for my Camo Business shoot the new Hoyts, 1 shoots the Vectrix , and the other 2 shoots the Vulcan. Both fine bow with new goodies.
Bow are becoming more like computers and in the last 10 year or so they really made leaps to technology. It's a big whoop azz to see who is goin to be the better company on the block. and it's all out. This is just the start of things in Archery.
