Title: Hoyt Tiburon question
Post by: Hermon on June 28, 2014, 10:46:00 PM
Reading the description of this bow on their website it says that there is one riser length and two limb lengths that make 60", 62" & 64" bows.  How can one riser length and two length limbs make 3 bow lengths?

That may be a mistake,I seen on a different site that there are three different limb lengths for the Tiburon.Short,medium and long for a 60",62" and 64" lengths..The Hoyt Buffalo lists two limb lengths,making a 60" and 62".There is a two inch difference in riser lengths.But they both use the same Hoyt Formula limb attachment.You could use the short limb for the Tiburon on a Buffalo to make a 58" bow.

Hoyts 2014 Product Guide says two limb lengths for the Tributron making 3 bow lengths. I think someone needs to fill in the blanks....

This is a link to the manual.  It shows bow lengths for all models with:

Extra short limbs 60" on Tiburon
Short limbs  62" on Tiburon
Medium limbs 64" on Tiburon

I think it's about page 7 or 8.  It's a table of data.

Here is the paragraph I mentioned:

"The New 21" Tiburon™ riser combines nearly 85 years of our bowhunting know-how with everything we know about the world's best target bows, in one sleek traditional package. This is the traditional bow built for the future. super-slim grip, full-radius shelf, formula limb system, arrow rest and bow sight compatible for various shooting styles. Two available limb lengths provide a snappy and easily-maneuvered 60" and 62" or a smooth and sweet 64" bow length." and here is the link to the page  http://www.hoyt.com/recurve_bows/hoyt_recurve_bows_hunting.php

Thanks for the link.  I found the page that you mentioned.  That table also shows 3 lengths for the Buffalo, but if you go to the link I show above, the Buffalo info only shows 2 bow lengths and the owners manual link shows 3 lengths.

I have never seen or heard of a 58" Buffalo from Hoyt.  I dunno.

Yeah.  I dunno either.  I have never shot a hoyt but have been starting to follow them a bit. I am intrigued by them for some reason.  They look like nice bows and clearly have a following of respectable archers

I have been shooting the 2014 Tiburon for a couple of months. If you do a search I have a pretty detailed write up and pictures from when I first got it. It is by far the sleekest metal riser bow I have ever seen. My only complaint is it is somewhat top heavy so you a weight or stabilzer may be necassary. Only an issure if you are a barebow class 3D archer, less so for a hunting rig.
