Opinions on Hoyt Accutec?
Mr. Microphone
I have just recently taken up the sport and received a Hoyt Accutec as a
gift. What is your opinion of this bow? If I knew more about it, I would
describe it in greater detail. I can answer any questions you may have,
though.
Thanks for your input.

I have two and I like them very much. Good reproducable feel to the
shot. I have shot mine with accuwheel and command cam and found no
difference for me in accuracy. Personal best FITA I (indoor) and
outdoor FITA were shot with the accutech/accuwheel combination (before
the new smaller command cam was available).

I have an Accutec II. I put off buying the "Accutec I" because the
supporting beam behind the stabilizer looks too thin for my comfort.
Luckily no one has reported of the riser breaking or things like that.
My Accutech II comes with carbonite limbs and Accuwheel. After shooting
it for about two years, the cables at the point of contact of the cable
slide started to fray. Coincidentally, my friend has a pair of spare
command cams and I made a new set of string and cables to fit the
command cams on my Accutech.
I also added a pair of Limb Savers to the split limbs. They seriously
slienced the bow. (Somehow it was not designed to be a silent bow, I
guess). My arrows are still shamefully finding their home in the red at
70m. Thus the limb savers did not affect the speed of the arrows.
It is a great bow to shoot, and gets a lot of attention, since most of
the archers at the range I shoot at shoots Hoyt Axis.
The only problem is that I don't think I can outshoot this bow in the
near future, thus no excuse for a new bow any time soon. :-) (I
progressed from a PSE Thunderflight)
One other thing, the metal screws and parts on the bow will rust. Thus
I got stainless steel replacement for all, except for the e-clips at the
axles, which I cannot find here where metrics mesurement rules. What I
did is to cover the e-clips with fingernail polish.
Bottomline, it is a great bow. Shoot straight!

Isn´t that a inconsitence?
If you are right and that is a GREAT bow, why your arrows are
hitting the "red" at 70m?
Why not the gold?
Mr. Microphone
Thanks. Actually, my bow is also an Accutec II. I really like it, but
don't know enough about the sport yet to truly appreciate the differences
between a good bow and a bad one. The guy who put it together for me is a
friend and one of the best bare bow archers in the world. He came in second
in his category at the world championships in Atlanta last year. I trust
him implicitly, but I thought it would be nice to hear from other people as
well.
Thanks for the help!

Inconsitency on the part of the archer, not the bow.

But in that case you can not estimate is it a great bow or not.
When your shooting form is not equable it is impossible for you to
decide: "The arrow that hits the red, was it a "bended arrow" or
"bad shooting form" or "demaged bow" or "what ever"!
