Has anyone shot the hoyt recurves such as the darado or the Fred Eichler Buffalo series?

I have the Buffalo and I really like it. 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.

I own two dorado s
Love the risers and the grips have been shooting trad tech limbs now on both on set of shorts and a set of medium

My Dorado is the favorite among my bows. I like the mass weight and grip especially. I can't miss with it...well, most of the time.

Got to shoot Buffalo #A001...nice bow

I love my Dorado, its smooth quiet and dead in the hand  

I have had all 3. They are all fine bows. The Buffalo, imo,is tops, or would be if it had a rest hole. Still, all are good shooters.

Hoyt can afford the best engineering money can buy. It shows in these bows.

Never shot a Buffalo or a Gamemaster, but I can tell you the Dorado is a sweet shooting bow, I feel it shoots as well as many customs.  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.

Just so you have a reference that they can get the job done.  20 yd group today:

All the Hoyt bows I've shot have been great.

Besides, they just look b@dass!  I love my wood feast custom bows as much as the next guy, but these Hoyt's just have some real hunter tacti-cool going on-  Rambo's choice!  Hahaha.

Got a vintage pro medalist & excel riser with TT limbs - grip & balance on both is great - M.

I've got a Dorado and it is awesome. I think you cant go wrong with any of the Hoyt bows.  They are well built and preform great.

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.

I can't wait to get my Dorado. Its on its way.
 

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!
