dave Report post Posted October 25, 2006 bobbyo, Its not that the recoil/shock is any different than any other conventional limb angle bow, its more that guys I know that shoot parallel for a while and then go back and try to shoot a conventional bow have a heart attack when the bow goes off and think the thing just blew up BowNut, You never know, I might be ordering me one. Next thing you know I might be getting my friend to carve a shoot-through riser for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BowNut Report post Posted October 26, 2006 BowNut, You never know, I might be ordering me one. Next thing you know I might be getting my friend to carve a shoot-through riser for it That is what we told the Hoyt Rep. at Williams! We wanted a shoot through riser Trycon but I guess he must not have much pull down there.LOL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave Report post Posted October 26, 2006 Think about this: It does not take much more metal in a blank to machine a shoot-through than a non-shoot-through. You could incorporate a sight in the riser that is totally protected in the sight window and does not extend beyond the front of the riser. You could use a rest similar to a nap 4000 where the arrow could not fall off of the rest within the window. You could have the back side of the riser shaped back in the rest area of the window so that the rest is totally protected (left side for a right hand shooter). For example, if you were a right hand shooter, all your adjustment for the sights would be on the right side of the bow between the riser and quiver. The left side of the bow would be totally protected. You could drop the bow on its left side and not touch anything. You could drop the bow on its front side and not touch anything. If you dropped the bow on the left side your arrows may be damaged but they would protect your sight adjustments and rest adjustments. With a shoot-through configuration any engineer should be able to calculate how to have a stiffer riser with less weight than a conventional riser. I think Hoyt’s rib is a waist of weight and that a simpler more balanced design would produce the same rigidity. The same shoot-through riser could be used with several different limb lengths and limb pockets to accommodate a variety of shooters. I forgot to say that the riser could also work for either left or right hand people. Look at the pictures of my riser again. It has all the same mount holes tapped on both sides. You could have different side plates or grips that scewed on for left or right hand shooters and there is really no reason to have a left or right hand set of cams because you have enough room to shoot either way with the same cam.

dave Report post Posted October 29, 2006 Hey BowNut, Bill O. was at the Hoyt dealer here in Tucson today with the line-up. Me ordered an XL. Best cam I have ever pulled. I also like the three options for let-off, hard or spongy wall 75 or hard wall 65. I was a little disapointed with the fps but at 31.5" I should have enough. I have no idea why they only bring 29 inchers when IBO is rated at 30". The way I cipher, I think they are 7-10 fps below the way they cipher it but I am not exactly a hooter shooter. I joked with them that I could lose 2 ounces by dumping the string grabber and the string silencers Time will tell. Don't worry Bobbyo, this dosn't mean I will give up my custom carver. Might even get inspired to begin carving again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BowNut Report post Posted October 29, 2006 Cool, I know that most of the guys that shoot them will feel the same about the cams. With your draw and the correct arrow I think you will not have a problem with getting speed. Did you try the speed bow! It was one of the smoothest I thought. I just like the longer A to A myself. What did you think of the Riptide color bow? That is what I ordered my XL in. Even if I don't shoot good I will look good!!!!! Buy the way the string leaches are the first thing to go on my bows. I will try the new rod dohickey for a while and see how it does. Oops! Steathshot better call it what it is don't want Bill O to get mad at me.LOL!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave Report post Posted October 29, 2006 I think that speed bow will be a big hit for them this year. I have had a supertec and my shoot-through has a 6" brace with XT2000 limbs on it so I don't need another one. With the reduced hand shock and recoil I think a lot of guys will be able to shoot that bow well. If my draw length was shorter than 30", I would get one. I didn't pay any attention to the target color bow, I only had camo on my mind. I plan to use it for hunting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BowNut Report post Posted October 29, 2006 Lets see if this works. Its got a black marble to it not sure if you can see it in the pic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave Report post Posted October 30, 2006 Now BowNut, are you sure you want to carry around a BLUE bow? Just because you have outshot the whole state don't mean people won't be asking questions about you. Glad to hear you didn't choose the pink one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BowNut Report post Posted October 31, 2006 I have only had one other target bow it was the flag color (No daveFLAG Color) Just thought I would spoil myself a little. I thought about pink it just was not the corrrect shade of pink for me. Plus I have not killed anything with my camo Trycon yet. To soon to replace it. Bad luck to get rid of a bow that has not filled a tag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave Report post Posted October 31, 2006 Just teasing you. I always wanted a target bow myself someday, just never shot well enough to be seen with one. I prefer metalic purple Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
