Being an archery tech, i have shot many differant bows. My hoyt alpha max shoots like nothing else. Bows that i thought shot great, doesnt seem to shoot that well after shooting my alpha max. Very forgiving, smooth, quiet, and fast! Setup was a breeze and havent moved a thing from the initial setup. Paper tuned perfectly from the getgo! Either im good or real lucky! lol. If all you do is hunt and shoot occationaly, then id go with the new turbo hawk. Impressive! If you shoot everyday like i do, then pay the differance and get the alpha max!
