Picking up my Alpha Max today
Well I have decided it's time to try out something new yet again. Gettin rid of the APA X1 and trying out a Hoyt Alpha Max, black with camo limbs. Putting a Limbdriver rest on and stayin with my G5 4 pin sight. This will be my first Hoyt that I have tried out and I'm excited cause I really like the how it balances, and it shot pretty sweet, not much shock or vibration when I was testing it out.
I have shot Bear, Alpine, Pro Line, Champion, and the APA, hoping this will be the best one yet~

Went with the AM 32, I like the shorter axles for a hunting bow, not as forgiving but I have done alright with them in the past.

Sorry sorry, I have been working on the house pretty much non stop. I will get up some pics tonight of the set up, shot it a bit on Sat morning. Wow I love this thing, nice and smooth, and very accurate, it's quiet and not much hand shock at all.
The Limb Driver rest seems to work great, wasn't sure about it at first, but the pro shop said they would exchange it no questions if I didn't like it.

What are you guys having to pay for the new Alpha Max? I am considering a new bow, I love my old Hoyt but the AM 32 is tempting me.

Well since I picked up my AM I have been playing with it lots, shooting a ton, and it's paying off. I went in 2 of the recent 3D shoots here in Manitoba, and took first in both of them in the Hunter division. I am loving this bow and the set up I have, think this one might be sticking around for a while!
Now just have to wait till archery season comes, can't wait!
