A few weeks ago I ordered a Hoyt Buffalo 60", #55 @28. The Hoyt dealer called today and said that it was in, I can't wait to get my hands on it. The only bad thing is I forgot to tell the wife that I ordered it and now it's here. I guess It's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission. LOL. Hopefully I will be set up and tuned for spring turkey season.
let us know how it shoots and set-up
it looks like a nice bow, and hoyt make some quality gear.
Can't wait to hear the reviews. Ed
it does look like a awsome bow. i wish dealers around here carried more trad gear. the one shop had a bob lee and the other only carrys cheap line martins, gander carrys the bear grizzly and the montana.
deffinatly have to get some pics up and a review
I've been eyeing it up myself. Congratulations!
Well I finaly got over to the dealer and picked it up. My s/n is 0050 . Cant wait to shoot it will post some pics soon.
macksdad - I've been trying to break it to my wife that I recently ordered a new bow. Maybe tonight's the night, she's been drinking at an office party....
Can't wait for the pics. I like my Dorado, and have been seriously intrigued by the Buffalo. Congrats.
Yeah maybe I should take my wife out for a few drinks and then bring her home and show her the bow. Thats a heck of an idea.
might want to just buy so ear plugs its cheaper than drinks and you know that the drinks will wear off lol
I shot one a few weeks ago. It was 45@28. Nice shooting bow.Post some pics when you get it.
Good luck with that.lol. You need to get enough bows that a new one will fit in without being noticed.
Post some pics too. Those bows look good to me.

Boy that could go either way in my household. :D And it better not go the wrong way in that situation.
Luckily I am at the point of having a pretty good inventory, so she never really has a problem with me selling something in order to buy something. :)
BobCo - The problem with having a large inventory is that she may have sold one well before you take notice.
Quite true, but, there is also a good point to having a nice inventory. She may not know if I sneak something in. :)
I'd do the "few drinks" thing too.......except every time I do that my wife ends up pregnant? Get those pics up man!!!
I got to mess around with a 60# one, not enough to give a review. But it felt a little heavy in the hands (which I don't mind, I'm use to heavier takedown bows). It felt all of 60# and more I remember that (but most brand new bows/strings feel that way- a tad on the heavy side).
The grip was slim and it does have a neat look to it. I'm curious what everyones thoughts will be after they spend some time with it.
I think that you will love your new Buffalo. I have a Durado, and I got to see the Buffalo in its protype at the Muzzy. Can't wait to hear.
Looking forward to hearing review, I'm patiently waiting for mine with 40 and 50# limbs.
Oh yeah and you are lucky, Ive been told 4-8 weeks for delivery. The Eastern Canadian supplier had none in stock!
Well I finally got a combination of arrow and point weight that works for me with the Buffalo. Easton XX78 superslam 2315 30" bop with a 140gr field point. I have my brace set at 8 1/8 inches. This bow is super smooth and quiet at least to my standards. This is as close to a custom bow that I have ever shot . I am impressed to say the least, tight groups and hitting very close to where I am looking. I split the nock and ferrule off of one of my new xx78 this morning I have never done that before. Made me feel kinda good when that happened then I remembered those things are like $7 each. many thanks to Stu Miller's Calculator, it saved me alot of time and money. Now all I need to do is practice, Turkey season is on it's way!!! Still Haven't told the wife!
Steve, I shot a 50# gamemasterII once, and really liked it. Performed real well, felt it shot more like a 55# bow. I remember reading some comments about the gamemasterII afterwards that reflected my thoughts. Like, buy 5#'s less than you want, it shoots heavier than it is, or it stacks some, go lighter on the poundage. Is your buffalo pulling like a 55# bow to you.
BTW , No it definitly shoots heavy feels more like 60 than 55 I almost ordered a 60 glad I went with the 55.
Thats the way the Dorado's were too. Glad to know that if there happens to be a Buffalo in the future for me!
