What is your go to bow?

My 2012 Hoyt Carbon Element still works for me.

I've always had a hard time ignoring the smooth draw cycle of hoyt. But I also shoot a prime Ct5 very well. The prime has a solid backwall with limb stops, which my hoyts do not. I think all manufacturer's fit certain shooters styles differently. First impressions are not always what they seem IMO. I don't care much for primes draw cycles as they are pretty harsh but I bought mine years ago, used, without shooting it and I found that I shoot it very well. So when hitting the center matters most, it just flat out works.

Mathews conquest 3 set at 50lbs. I keep thinking I need to upgrade but there's really no reason to. I shoot fingers no release so it's ideal. I've killed several elk with it shooting this way and with no sights.

I'm still rocking my all black Hoyt RX3 I'm not own to upgrade every year or few years I stick with what's shooting good and buy tags!

I love my Mathews Phase 4!

Elite GTO…2008
Love it so much I bought another one a few years ago.

Hoyt rx7 Ultra

Shot the new hoyt rx-8 and the alpha x 33. Both are incredible, but the new cam is stupid smooth. It is the first time ever that I am considering going to an 80lb limb. Any other thoughts from guys that have shot this new cam?

I have tried the alpha x33.

Try the Bowtech revolt x80 if a bow shop has one or the sx80. To compare smoothness of draw. I haven't found anything that compares to the smoothness of the Bowtech, but also has a decent brace height and long axle to axle.

Numbers 1 and 2 are my 56 pound Black Widow and my 66 pound Black Widow.
3 is my homemade longbow. Purple Heart riser with zebra wood over bamboo cores. 57 pounds on this one. Lots of hogs have fallen to these 3 and a Zwickey Eskimo broadhead

The new Hoyt RX8 Ultra is a long range dream bow. The next closest would be the RX7 Ultra. The RX8 Ultra is what my 15 year old bought. I figured there wouldn't be any difference between it and my RX7 Ultra, but it was a shade better in about every category.
When I say long range he was testing his tune at 90 yards. He had a field point, a QAD Exodus, a Deadmeat V2, and a deadmeat BMP which is a fake practice broad head. He put 12 consecutive shots in a 6" hexagon at 90 yards. "Dad, I think I have it tuned."
