Anything new in next year's bows?
Question:
I’m finally (after seven years) going to be buying a new compound bow. Right now I shoot a Hoyt Proforce Eclipse and although it’s treated me pretty good, it’s getting old by today’s standards. I’ll hunt with it this season, but I’ll be looking for a new one before I start at the 3-D range next spring. I was just wondering if there is anything new or special about the upcoming year’s products, or should I just try to get a good deal by puchasing a leftover from this year. Although I don’t have a specific brand preference, this Hoyt has treated me better than I’ve treated it, so I would probably lean towards another one. So, I know I’ve thrown out a pretty open ended question, but does anyone have any good input? Any sincere help will be appreciated. Thanks! Glenn Dixon (remove spamnot from address before replying)

You should really check out a bow made by CSS (Custom Shooting Systems). They are a reletively small company out of Virginia but they make some of the best bows out there! I don’t have a number for you to call but I can bring it to work with me later. Post another message and I will post more info. What part of the country are you in?

I’m up in New Hampshire. The new ‘98 stuff from PSE just arrived at the local shop, but they say that Hoyt is being unusually quiet so far. I’m always open to new suggestions though. If CSS has a catalog or something to look at, I’d be interested in seeing it.

Oh, boy, are those guys going to feel silly in about a week. I just attended Hoyt’s 1998 product unveiling and you have never seen so many striking new, incredible designs from one manufacturer in one year in your life. All I have to say is, PSE picked a particularly bad year to Xerox the Hoyt Alphatec and call their imiatation their cutting edge new bow……
