With the limb bolts being adjustable you can set the tiller for your shooting style, split or three under, and adjust the draw weight a pound or two. They are smooth, fast, and quiet. Of coarse they have to be tuned like any other bow. That's my two cents, for what it's worth.

Great tough no frills hunting bow. Frankly I don't understand so many guy's obsession to convert them to ILF...they're designed to be simple and bulletproof, the factory Hoyt limbs are just fine. I added a Tight Spot quiver and stabilizer to mine along with the FF string/beaver balls it already had on it and its crazy quiet. Awesome accuracy too.

Post by: reddogge on March 07, 2013, 12:17:00 PM: I've been shooting a Buffalo for two years. Great hunting bows and designed to be shot off the shelf. No need for elevated rests or plungers at all.

Post by: bluej on March 08, 2013, 11:15:00 PM: I have a hoyt desperado. The bow was only made in 1996. I don't know why, but I have never shot a bow that well. You can't go wrong with a hoyt!
