I shot this bow today and I just love the feel of it in my hand. Now if I can only come up with the $800.00 to pay for it. This bow has a nice draw cycle and a nice release. It is also pretty lite bare. Just wanted to share. I'm normally a bowtech guy, but I might have to rep both brands.
I've owned 5 different Hoyt bows and I can honestly say my AlphaMax 35 is the finest one I've shot. And that includes the UltraTec, which is saying a heck of a lot.
I may pick up a used one over the next year or so, or maybe wait for the refined version surely to come in 2010....bottom line, I don't have the dough to blow on a new rig when my Vectrix is MORE than fine, so I am stuck in the waiting game.
I got the AM32 about a month ago and was not sure how much I was going to like a bow with such a short ATA. I have always shot 35" or bigger. In the last month I have fallen in love with this bow. You are right, the draw cycle, back wall, and shot are all amazing. I fell in love with it so much that I have a AM35 on order now to replace my 3D bow. I know there are few used ones popping up for sale at AT, you might be able to save a few $$$ going that route.
I preferred the am 32 over the 35 had less vibration and seem a little smoother - with that being said I kept my katera xl and have an all black one as well the 09 version - but the alphamax is one of the tuffest around and very solid in everyway
