Maverick351 Report post Posted August 20, 2014 It won't out shoot anything with a wisker biscuit on it. None of the new Hoyts shoot well with one. I wish you the best on the sale but I think you should give the bow a fair chance too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
longshooter Report post Posted August 20, 2014 Really? I've shot a Hoyt since the 80's and I have shot a whisker biscuit for the last 12-15 years with out a issue. The grip is different and I can't group the same. Honestly doubt its the wisker biscuit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick351 Report post Posted August 20, 2014 Ok I was simply going off of what I've experienced working at an archery shop. The new hoyts do not paper tune well with the biscuits like the older hoyts did.And the constant contact from the rest transmits a different feel into the bow. I shoot without a grip for added accuracy purposes so I the grip thing is entirely personal. I have seen and personally dealt with many people who are shooting the new bows and try to transfer their old biscuit to It and are uunhappy but once they go with a full containment drop away they not only shoot tighter groups but like the way the shot feels better as well. Either way sir I wish you only the best of luck with the sale. These are super sweet shooting bows and once they are tuned and set up properly they are incredible. The new carbon bows are the best selling bows we have ever seen. I wouldn't trade mine for anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adicted Report post Posted August 20, 2014 nothing like getting your bow bashed by someone at an archery shop when trying to sell... I know people prefer a whisker biscuit over a drop away especially when hunting. If you seen the amount and size of the deer this dude has killed with a bow it would humble you very quick.... Good luck with sell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick351 Report post Posted August 20, 2014 I apologize if anyone took it as bashing. I wished him good luck with the sale and hope it goes well for him. I'm not against either the bow or the biscuit I just simply see where this particular combo has not performed favorably. I never questioned his ability either as a shooter. It wasn't meant as a debate and I will not hijack his thread to turn it to one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

longshooter Report post Posted August 20, 2014 Elkaddict, how far of a shot can I expect to be taking from your back porch to your lily garden on that big lily eating pet bull you got ? 10 yards? I have that in the bag, no problem! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
