Im sure some nut will buy it just cause it costs a lot and thinks it will make him/her look good in the woods. Like its a frigin fashion show or
something.
Those that think they know it all are really annoying to those that do.

LOL Yeah me too!! Considering the fact the bow comes with 8 different warnings from Hoyt-----
CARBON MATRIX SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION:
1) Composite constructed components, such as the Carbon Matrix bow riser, may show small surface separations in the paint
and/or top surface layer of the construction. This is a typical composite condition which may become more visible as the bow is used over time. These
small separations are considered normal and non- structural provided that they are under 1/8 inch in length and less than 1/32 inch wide at its widest
location. These are typically not fractures or breaks in the carbon fibers themselves and do not represent a struc- tural failure.
For separations that are larger than 1/8 inch in length and/ or wider than 1/32 inch wide, the bow should be returned to Hoyt for inspection and test-
ing. (See warranty information for instructions on returning product to Hoyt). If the bow is found to have a structural failure, the riser will be
repaired or replaced under the normal conditions of Hoyt’s Limited Lifetime Warranty. If the bow has no structural failure, the bow will be returned
and can resume normal use.
2) Extreme care should be taken to avoid impact damage to the Carbon Matrix riser.
The Carbon Matrix is designed to withstand high stress flexing and high stress loading that would be associated with normal use and function of the
bow.
However, in general, composite structures do not with- stand high load impact such as being dropped from a tree, or by having some other object impact
the structure. In the event that your bow does encounter a surface impact, you must carefully inspect the riser for damage.
If impacted, inspect the area for visible broken fibers, multitude of separation cracks, cracking that appears to resemble a spider-web, dented
surface, or a soft flexible surface at the impact point. If any of the above conditions are apparent or suspect, the bow should be considered damaged
and should not be used any further.
In the event that the bow was exposed to an impact and damage is evident as described above, you can return the bow to Hoyt for an evaluation. (See
warranty informa- tion for instructions on returning product to Hoyt). If the riser is determined to be damaged and not fit for use, Hoyt may offer a
replacement of damaged components at the owner’s expense. Damage, including impact damage, caused accidentally, from misuse of the product, or from
use not associated with normal archery practices, is NOT covered under the Hoyt Limited Lifetime warranty.
3) The Carbon Matrix riser, or any other component of any Hoyt bow, should not be modified in any way. Drilling holes, cutting, filing, sanding, or
other forms of physical modifications to any Hoyt bow or component will dam- age the bow and could possibly cause harm or injury to the owner or
bystanders. Any modification to any bow or component will immediately void any and all warranty for the bow and/or component.
4) The Carbon Matrix riser is completed using various aluminum components that are either attached by adhe- sive or by mechanical fasteners such as
screws to the exterior of the riser. Any attempt to remove any of the aluminum factory attached components will immediately void any and all warranty
for the bow and/or components. Do not attempt to remove or adjust the security screws attaching the stabilizer mount or the sight/arrow rest mounting
insert.
5) Care should be given to not expose the Carbon Matrix bow to any solvents, lubricants, or other substances that contain silicone as the structure
could be weakened.
6) Care should be given to not expose the Carbon Matrix to extreme heat, flame, or other adverse conditions that could possibly damage the bow.
7) The Carbon Matrix comes with a factory installed wood grip. The grip is attached to the carbon riser using glue or other means of adhering the grip
to the riser. The grip is not intended to be removed. Any damage caused to the grip or the riser due to removal will immediately void the warranty for
the damaged part.
8) Composite constructed components, such as the Carbon Matrix bow riser, may exhibit a creaking sound during the first few shots when the bow is new.
This creaking sound could come and go for the first few 100 shots. This is a normal condition for Composite struc- tures and is not a structural
failure.
If the Carbon Matrix has been stored for a prolonged period of time without being used (several weeks at a time), the bow may exhibit creaking sound
again for the first few shots. This is a normal condition for composite structures and is not a structural failure.:

They don't use hoyt shooters for the dry fire testing. They just hand one to a mathews shooter and watch them try to figure out how to shoot a real
bow They did stop them after 1000 though, they felt bad about takin
advantage of someone alittle on the slow side

On a serious note. I have seen enough machined aluminum risers fail on several different bow brands ,,,,I doubt you will ever see me shooting a
fiber composite riser no matter who makes it,,, not even a company that has been around as long as hoyt has.(.02) (but then I'm still shootin
aluminum arrows)

Sounds to me like something you buy and put in a pretty glass case for display purposes only!!
Wow, don't drop it, don't do this don't do that. The way I see it if I paid $1600 I should be able to run over it with a dump truck and not have it
break.
What's the deal with the "creaking"? That's what we all want when the buck of a lifetime comes by.

My 13 year old Browning still gets the job done, and it cost less than $200 new, under $300 set up. Even a $10,000 bow won't put a good buck in front
of you, and won't make a better shot than the person releasing the arrow.

Everyone always says Mathews are overpriced but their top end bows are in the same price range as every other brands top end bows, except for this
beast from Hoyt. When I bought my Switchback XT I gave $900 setup with quiver, sights, rest and a dozen arrows including tax. If I had bought his
top end Hoyt that he also kept in stock it would have been $900 with the same setup. Pretty much every company out there has a good product you just
have to find what fits you best. This particular Hoyt may be the best bow out there but it sure as heck dont fit my wallet.

MSRP 1600$. 400$ less than the thread title. Actual price of bow will probably be around 1300$. Still very expensive, but for a limited edition
bow, I'm sure they will sell pretty well. Yeah, the average Joe won't be shootin these, but for the guys who like to have the newest, coolest bow,
it'll be a must have.
