Title: hoyt dorado...my new bow.
Post by: Ben Maher on March 22, 2009, 02:47:00 AM
got myself a new dorado yesterday....after years of shooting Straight limb Hill style bows i've ventured forth and got myself a new recurve. after several affairs with recurves by Wallace, Widow and Lee i've found my new bow. growing up i had many Hoyt bows [ 'curves and compounds ]and this new bow shoots like a dream. the riser fits in the hand beautifully and even without silencers it shoots a 2018 / 125gn blunt with quietly and with authority. as i'm a "no camo" hunter i got the black and maple version and was stacking arrows in a 6inch group at 24 metres like i have not been able to in years. i'm already looking at getting a 2nd set of limbs so i can set it up as my new hunting rig.it's my new no 1 bow and that's without even setting it up yet..... the poundage has come in a bit heavier than marked [ reads 55# @ 28"...actual 59#]..... it kinda takes me back to an old metal handled bear i used to have that was my go to [and only] bow for a good 4 years...thankyou Hoyt!!!!!

cheers Ben
