This bow or that bow...

I am buying a new bow and have it narrowed down to a PSE X-force GX6 (2009) or a Hoyt Turbohawk (2010). Im having a tough time deciding, as they both feel good when I shoot them. Any opinions for either? Thanks.

I think the turbohawk is a cast riser version of the alphamax, more or less. I shot and loved the alphamax and hoyt makes probably the best engineered bows (thats what an engineer told me once anyway).

I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

The draw cycle is radically different on the two bows though. Do you really find them equivalent??? The PSE is a hard draw initially whereas the Hoyt has softer cams and an easier draw. For a hunting bow I much prefer soft cams.

speed bow with the PSE and more forgiving with the Hoyt, i have a Xforce as a spare bow and love it, i know the X does kinda feel like a drag on the draw but other then that its a great bow.

I should clarify. I can tell the difference in the draws, as they are two complete different cycles. I guess one doesnt jump out at me as better than the other. "Is the extra 30 fps really that big of deal?" is what keeps going through my head. Any thoughts on speed?

If you can't care less, then the question should be do I want 30fps less?

WHen I was buying a new bow in '08 I was stuck between the Hoyt and PSE. I ended up choosing the xforce. It is lighter by almost half a pound and was quite a bit faster. Otherwise I also felt they were equal in my hands. I don't mind the draw cycle. its not harsh, its just heavy from the beginning.

I say get the xforce, but its completely up to you.

This one's a no-brainer for me-- if they feel the same otherwise, figure out which one is quieter. The quieter bow is the easy choice for me. The 30 fps isn't meaningless, just really close to that...

Quiet, feels good to me, and reputable product name (both of your choices are)=good bow to me!

Good luck!

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      Aren't they the ones that ran into problems about illegal bait? Anyone know how that turned out?

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
