    I've prepaid my elite dealer for either a new 2013 hunter with the new cams or an answer. Problem is, no one in our area here in utah has any yet nor does any one get them in left handed.. So has anyone shot the new 2013's. I am really on the fence as two which way to fall off..

    I have the 2012 answer and it is quite a shooter with the speed cams. I think I would have probably gone with the hunter if it was only a hunting bow. The answer is an awesome 3-d and spot bow. Little longer ATA. The new hunter sounds nice, but the extra speed out of the answer gets my vote. And it is a knock killer to boot.

    I'm shooting the 2012 Answer and I love it. I'm not a speed person myself. I prefer a smooth shooting, easy to draw, quite bow. And that's why I chose the Answer with the smooth cams. Let us know what you end up with and tell us what you think of it.

    not what your asking about, but i shot a pure and absolutely love it! no matter witch way you go, your gonna get a super smooth shooting bow. your just gonna have to decide if you want a short or long ata bow. i myself like the longer ata bows. just ssem to shoot better for me.

    I had an Answer and really didn't like the draw thought it a tad stiff but that was me. Bow shot real nice and was quite. I have a 13 Hunter on order and just read a review on Archery Talk that a 60lb Hunter was the smoothest, quietest, dead in hand bow he had ever shot. I have a 60lb 09 Z28 and it is a dream to draw I am hopng the Hunter is an even better bow than the z28.

    If all you do is hunt get a Hunter.

    my buddy just shot the 2013 hunter and he said it was really nice. he used to shoot for hoyt and know his bows so i trust his review. he actually said this would be his next bow if he was buying today and he has shot just about every bow out there

    Ordering the 2013 Answer this weekend. Switching from Mathews to Elite. The Hunter is a great bow but the Answer gives you the same smooth draw cycle and forgiveness with more speed. Also as stated above it is a knock killer. Either way you can't go wrong.
