Alright you Hoyt boys

within the last 3 years what Hoyt would you say was the better bow for hunting?

I need to get one but want to research them a little first.

    Vectrix. Hands down. The Katera was fast, but not for me. The Katera XL was a good shooter, but I liked the Vectrix better. The Alpha Max I do not like at all.

    HOws the draw, wall, valley? Heavy? balanced? Not a fan of the Hoyt but this new deal requires me to like them. although it has been a few years since I had one in my hand so maybe these newer ones will change my mind [:D]

    Haven't shot a Hoyt for quite a few years, and then, I bought it used. I did like it though.
    Don't know what to tell you but, I would LOVE to have "someone" tell me "Hey use this here bow on the video."

    It draws just like a Rezen, I think. Builds sharply, then even until a drop to a solid back wall. Has to be a solid back wall with 2 drawstops. The bow is a bit on the heavy side, but I still put 19oz of stabilizer on it for 3-D. I hunt without the added weight. Balance is signature Hoyt... perfect. The only down side to the Vectrix is mine seems to really tear apart strings. I now have Barracuda strings on it, and they seem to be doing well... but it has only been 2 months.
