What Model Hoyt is This?

[Casey]

Here is the Prostar. The "star" bows had better limbs than the one I bought.

not a superstar Look close around the limb pockets at the cut outs on the riser. Also the limb bolt lock screws. superstar had a limb pocket machined out of the riser not a seperate limb pocket.

here is a pic of a SuperStar Meridian target bow

Now here is my thinking:

Ken Witt said it was originally made in a solid color, not camo. That would make me think it was a target model. If it was designed to do both then why wouldn't they have offered it in camo?

The Hoyt factory dude may have taken a target riser and put shorter limbs on it to make it a shorter axle to axle bow which would be better suited to hunt with.

Just throwing stuff out there. This is fun!

Hoyt Defiant maybe? I had one and it looked a whole lot like this one.

i had a hoyt very similar to it and it was the hoyt raider...great shooting bow and was my bowfishing rig till someone had to have it more than i did( got stolen)

[nanny_slammer]

I had one like that and was trying to remember the name. Goldeneagle nailed it, Defiant!!

i don't remember the ProVantages having cutouts in the riser

they were target bows from 1988-1992

here is a picture of a Hoyt PV

I had one like that and was trying to remember the name. Goldeneagle nailed it, Defiant!!

the Defiant had round / oblong cutouts in the riser as I too owned one of them

see pic

It also looks to have newer cams on it. Look at the camo pattern. The pattern on the cams is after they started anodizing camo. The older camo bows had black cams on them.

I recieved an e-mail from a Mr. Jacob Finch from Hoyt this morning and I sent him the pics.

He called me back a couple of minutes after I sent them and asked me a few questions and had me do some limb measuring and find a number on the cams.

According to this fella I have:

Riser=1994 Superstar
Limbs=Fast Flight
Cams=Command Cams

He said the riser was only offered in a Safari Brown color, never in anodized camo.

So I suppose Ken Witt was correct, this is a one-off Hoyt. At least the riser anyway!

I'd say Cajun Blake had most of this figured out.

You are correct sir!

When I bought the bow Ken had a difficult time finding cams to adjust to my short draw length but tracked these down somewhere. They are not the original that came with the bow.

Glad that is settled!!!!!!!!!
