Hoyt 2016

[rhendrix]

So, anyone see the new lineup? Thoughts?

 

[PathFinder]

I definitely wasn't blown away. It will take something more to move me from my CST ZT. They seem pretty similar to last year. I guess I'll have to shoot them to see if the new limbs are a big improvement or not.

 

[rhendrix]

Kinda underwhelmed as well. I thought for sure that you'd see a little faster ATA with the preloaded limbs. Don't plan on selling my '14 CS34 anytime soon.

 

[jmez]

Pretty Meh for me. Don't see anything that will warrant a $200 set of custom fingers to be able to put it in an EZ Press. No real upgrades on anything as far as I can tell.

 

[Trial153]

Sorry but this release sucks....

 

[machinethomas]

I agree, kinda underwhelming. Just gave last years products a new look and name.

 

[Jake Leibke]

The new limb design looks a lot like what bowtechs been doing for awhile now.

 

[Stwrt9]

Exact same riser on the Carbon Spyders with only new cams/limbs without any increase in speed isn't going to justify upgrading from this years ZT. Disappointing to say the least.

 

[Brendan]

I'm ready for a new bow for next year, will likely see if any more info surfaces, more likely that I'll pick up a 2015 ZT Turbo at a discount...

 

[justin davis]

Yea the ZT turbo is sweet! I usually always buy bows used. Can't afford the brand new ones.

I think the release was good! Seems like some nice bows! I bet they shoot lights out.

 

[charvey9]

Wasn't expecting a whole lot of improvement, but look forward to shooting them. The string angle certainly looks different at full draw, but will be interesting to see if it really draws smoother or feels like a longer ATA bow.

I like the 28" ATA option, just wish it was faster. I actually prefer my CS30, but can't turn away from the performance of the Turbo.

I wonder why the change to back to optional limb stops on the Defiant series.

 

[TheTone]

Looking forward to them as well. I'm currently shooting a six year old alphamax that I love but maybe its time for an upgrade. I really liked last years Nitrum and am really interested to shoot the new Defiant.

 

[camelcluch]

For me the most interesting part is the limb stops.

 

[roadrunner]

Did not release anything I can't live without. I would speculate their sales will suffer this year as you really have no options per se.

If anyone at Hoyt monitors this site you need to make the Nitrum riser out of carbon with a 32 ATA length and have a cam with limb stops similar to Elites with a speed rating of 340 fps. Now that bow would sell...

 

[Whisky]

I have a 2014 CST and 2013 Spyder 34 and have not even been tempted to buy anything new since then. I want to say thanks to Hoyt for keeping it boring. Satisfied with what I got, which saves me money.

 

[OR Archer]

I personally like the new line up and the improvements that they made in the line. Ill get a new Carbon Defiant Turbo in the Ridge Reaper camo.

Not exactly sure what people are expecting bow companies to do these days. There's only so much you can do with a bow.

 

[rhendrix]

OR, have you had a chance to shoot one yet?

 

[5MilesBack]

Not exactly sure what people are expecting bow companies to do these days. There's only so much you can do with a bow.

It's like vehicles.......the vehicle manufacturers keep changing them up every year and making them worse and worse with every upgrade. Why on earth do people have to have changes every year?

 

[velvetfvr]

Given what they did last year it's hard to expect vast improvement.

 

[Blinginpse]

Bows creeping upon and over a grand. They just aren't worth it.
