Well I got her..Yes pics will come later. 32" Hoyt Alphamax Bone Collector Edition 60-70 lbs, maxed out at 70 lbs, 28 inch draw length. The set-up: Quad Ultra Rest Pro Super Peep Apex "Bone Collector" 5 arrow quiver..this baby is sweet! Copper John 5 pin Pro sight. (6 pin removed 1 pin) Fuse Stabilizer It chrono'd at 270 fps with a 440 grain arrow. Just for grins and giggles shot a 305 grain arrow at 294 fps. Got it home late, just time to fling enough arrows to dial in the 18 yard pin. I broke a nock already. :d I'm shooting easton FMJ's right now, but have New Easton Axis Nano's that will be ready to go today cut and glued yesterday. I know you guys get all excited about Kinetic energy and I have'nt done the math but I can tell you it's blowing 80%through a brand new Gander Mountain (imitation Block) Target at 18 Yards, knocks it over if shot above the centerline of the target. I knew (from shooting prior to sale)there would be some adjustments to be made to my (nose)anchor point the SHORT ATA makes a pretty steep string angle, the adjustment will be less than I figured. I'll settle this pretty quickly. This bow is fast, yes the FPS is tamed down a bit with the heavier arrow comnbination, but if I wanted pure speed it's there for the taking. The bow is sooo, light. The grip is fantastic (as Hoyts always have been in my book). The finish and workmanship is top notch. Quiet..amazingly quiet and dead in the hands at the shot. The Factory String suppressor is as good if not better than any others I've seen or shot. I got to catch up on some yard work tonight and then the playing will start. I love the pureness of shooting a bow and I'm giddy over this purchase..(while shooting in near dark last night), my Wife said I was like a kid at Christmas! I have to agree!
Back when I still shot a compound Hoyt's were always a little on the heavy side but none the less they were a great bow!! The archery shop In my area has sold a pile of these this spring, his best seller he told me. Good luck with It Bob!!
I shot the AM 32 a couple of months back. Hoyt seems to have shaved alot of weight off the bow, sweet shooter for sure.
The only thing I'll disagree with is the stock string supressor. That thing SUCKS. The rubber is too rigid and creates quite a lot of string slap. I threw an STS on my 35 and OMG.....big difference.
