New bow

[johnplav]

New Hoyt Hyperforce vs 1999 Hoyt Striker.  How things have changed in 20 years.

Did you try and trade in the old bow?

[johnplav]

Ha!  The old bow is a wall-hanger.

I'll post some pics soon of my Bear Tamerlane... then we can talk change.

Wow, I went from a 04 Protec to a 2014 faktor and I thought that was a big jump. Congrats on the new Hoyt.. 

[moog5050]

Different but they still do the same exact thing!  Kill a deer with that Tamerlane Jmark - it would be cool.

Those hyperforces feel nice! I held one but didn’t get a chance to shoot it.

“Upgrade” to the old Hoyt!  A buddy of mine wants to try archery.  Target for now, not sure about hunting.  I used to use this bow with a prong style rest, so I put a crappy old whisker biscuit on this crappy old bow and I’ll let him fling some arrows.  Im excited... I thought for sure this bow would never get used again.

Not a bad start in the basement range.  I’ll fine tune it once I can get out to 20 yards.

Is that a old NAP QuickTime you took off ? sure looks like one ,it’s far from crappy, I actually put a old golden key future pro on my old Protec for a indoor set up. 

[johnplav]

I’ll take a look. It killed lots of deer for me.  Far more than the drop away I have now... but I’m trying!

Nice new Bow JP.  Expect pic next fall of big antlers w the new upgrade.  
Your old Hoyt reminds me of my older bows I have my old Dartons that I started with.  I bought my 1st bow ever at Kmart when i was 18 in 1985. Think it retailed for $131 but I got the Blue Light Special that day at Kmart at paid $99 for it.  I still have it. Ha!
Good luck w the new Hoyt.

No PY... I used my crossbow!  Bring on the hate.  Shot him at 25 yards, but honestly if I had my bow I probably would’ve shot at 30, since the path he was taking was toward me, but quartered to.

No new bow...just an update.  But like you, I also paid $100 for my old bow.  I bought it from a coworker and it got me into the sport.  And I haven’t shot a deer with a gun since.

No clue what brand... it worked fine but gave me a horrible habit of holding the arrow with my pointer finger.

Yep it’s a old N.A.P QuickTune with the Hoyt  mounting plate . They were a huge jump from the old flipper rests . One could always tell when his bow was out of tune by just looking at the prongs. One prong would show more wear than the other.
