I got the gamemaster about a month ago, and I have to say that I am one satisfied customer! I've been shooting compound exclusively for the past 8 years or so (going from a cheap no-name model to a Golden Eagle Ultra-Evolution to a PSE G-Force). I like my trusty g-force, but I have to admit that I have a new favourite in this Hoyt.
I can't offer the kind of review that Str8shooter has provided, but I can say that it's surprisingly fast even at 48#/29.5 inches (and I'm used to a g-force @ 75 pounds!), totally shock-free, not too loud (IMHO), and insanely solid, thanks to the Tec riser. Speaking of that, it's almost a strange feeling to draw the bow and not feel any flex in the grip: zip, zero, nothing - in fact, it's something you have to experience to realize that it's not a gimmick. As a plus, due to the Tec design, the grip itself is quite small, and with the way I grip the bow (semi-open handed with a curled index finger), it feels just perfect and is torque-free. But...For someone who like a "meaty" grip, it would likely be a turn-off though, just FYI.
When handling and assembling the bow, you can tell it's top-quality tackle, but it's a Hoyt, so no surpise there. It comes with a flemmish string, which I like, but realize it's a matter of opinion so I'll just leave it at that.
I've been shooting it instinctively off the shelf, just to get used to its feel and to find my anchor, but plan to put a nice sight (gibbs perhaps) and rest on it in the near future.
Although I love all-out speed and lettoff etc, I can't say that I miss anything about compound shooting. In fact, now that I've gotten used to the gamegetter, I rather like the feel of shooting from the peak of the draw rather than a lettoff valley.
One thing to be cautious of, and this is what I'm guessing is causing lots of quick turnover (see above): I think that people are buying them too heavy. I can't stress enough that I very comfortably shoot my g-force at 75 lbs (I'm 6ft, 190 lbs in good shape), but the gamegetter, even at 48 lbs, has me very aware that I'm holding the weight. Don't get me wrong; it's smooth and stack-free, but it may not feel like that at first to someone used to a high letoff compound - especially if they get a model at 55 or 60 lbs. In fact, even 50 pounds may not be too enjoyable at first for some.
All in all, I'm confident that my gamegetter will see more time on my range than anything else!
I hope this helps!
