    Hoyts improved string angle

    Well I finally got to do some experimenting with the new Hoyts String angles. I normally go with the 34" axle model every year, including this years, however my curiosity got the best of me with the Defiant 31 string angle. I'll be getting exact angles in degrees tomorrow on my Nitrum 34,Defiant 34 and Defiant 31 shortly after that. The only real reason this sparked my interest in the first place is due to my short draw length(27.5) being perfectly efficient in a shorter axle bow, however hating the previous years BH,ATA and more than anything the overly aggressive string angle. Well this year is a huge improvement. Not really sure if I'm gonna fully like my Carbon Defiant 31 over my Carbon Defiant 34 and Defiant 34 but the angle is very close to last years 34" which I am very pleased with.Anyone else's input would be great! Anyone here happy with the 31" this year after recently owning or shooting previous years 34"?

    Note* Forgive my fat face,can't help it lol

    The first pic is my Defiant 34, a almost effortless sting angle, much like any target bow I have shot.

    This is my Nitrum 34 string angle, a very comfortable angle, not much difference between this year and the new 34" angle, they are nearly the same, maybe a little less than this new 34".

    This one is the Defiant 31. This is were I am impressed, the string angle is very very close if not spot on with last years 34". Maybe a little less, can't fully tell till I get measurements, any input in this?

    Only time in my life I every worried about string angle was from finger pinch when I shot fingers.

      I don't know if hoyt figured it out but I've found that over the years changing bows every year it finally dawned on me that I really shoot 30 ata bows the best . . . the string angle just suits me best.

      I went back 15 years rated the bows and then checked the ata . . . . . and it just jumped off the page.

          I've got measurements off of my Nitrum 34 and Defiant 34 but was hoping someone with a Defiant 31" in a #2 cam would be willing to get me a measurement off of theirs? Just need a over length from edge of cam to cam at full draw.

            I saw Hoyt change over to the dang near same look as the PSE bows. Guess they didn't like this video from last year???

              If anyone has a Defiant 31 or Carbon Defiant 31 willing to get me that measurement as long as it's a #2 cam I would appreciate it.

              Thanks

                I absolutely love my Hoyt Defiant 30. I've always been a fan of 35" ata bows and had no intentions of buying anything else till I shot the Defiant 30. I had to order one. Heck, I wasn't even in the market to buy a new bow. Lol

                I got the Bone Collector edition with the #2 cam and 65lb Max limbs. I'll get some measurements for you but it will probably be late Saturday or Sunday.

                  Lol.....a quality mechanical release solved that issue 15+ years ago. SCOTT allowed my 27.5" short draw and short ATA loving self to shoot 12 rings back when Jennings was still hottt....lol. !!! Slick way to sell bows in the new millinieum I guess.

                    No just a good way to sell them to people with grown up draw lengths

                            Yup.

                            Much like everything else, forums have made it some huge deal.
