Hoyt Vectrix, Whats She Worth?

[hunt or be hunted]

gday,

i am thinking about selling my Hoyt vectrix to fund some money for a new bow.
first problem is i dont know how much its worth, its in great condition and has been looked after. problem two is that there is something going on with the cam and the string, it seems to be wearing through the string and i am not keen enough to shoot it until its fixed, if you know what might be happening could you please help me out or if you know what its roughly worth shoot me a pm and if your interested in it also shoot me a pm and we might be able to work something out.

thank you, dan.

Hi Hunt or be Hunted

It might be an idea if you put a couple of pictures in your thread to give us a better understanding of whats wrong. You could take one straight along your bow so we can see if the cams are leaning. A close up of the fault also.

How long since you have changed your string and cables? It could just need the strings and cables replaced, then tuned and it will probably shoot like a new bow.

I've just changed them on Spikeys and my bows. We made them using the Brownell Ultra Cam for the string and Diamondback for the serving and they look sweet. Shooting good aswell.

Dan, most of the Vectrix's will have some serving separation at a certain point on the cam (it is a problem with the Vector cams as it is with a lot of othere cams). There is probably nothing wrong with the cams.

There is two ways to fix the problem. The quickest way is to just get some serving and re-serve over the part that has separated. It will look a little lumpy but will settle in nicely. This is the way I usually do it.

The other way is to take the string off and re-serve the whole lot. If you do this you will need to make sure the sting is under tension and has the correct amount of twists in it before you start. Also you will need to serve in the direction of the twists.

As for the price I would think that, providing that it is in good condition, it would be worth about 60% of what you paid for it. As it has a specific draw length you will have to find someone with the same draw length.

May I ask why you are selling it? I thought they are one of the best bows around.

the hoyt vectrix have had a proble with cam lean since they come out i know what you are talking about your string on the bottom cam is rubbing on it and is cutting away the surving. i would be taking the bow to were you got it from and asking them to fix it for free depending on how long you have had the bow for.

if the bow is in good order and you get the string done on it i would be putting $900 to a $1000 with all the gear on it. again depending on how long you have had it.

Hi Dan,

One of our guys at the club had a problem with his and I think from memory we ended up putting Halo serving on the problem end which solved the issue. Probably a little expensive to send it to me but if you want I'll fix it up for ya. I know it was a swap but I'll see if I can solve the serving wear for you.

Kind Regards

thank's for the reply's everyone, ant i will send the bow to you if thats alright, just so it can be looked at by someone who knows what to do unlike myself. do you want me to pay for postage both way mate?

cheers zac


Sorry but that is crap. They have NOT had a problem with the cams leaning!!!!

Dan, I would think long and hard about selling it for the DXT. I believe that the Hoyt would be a much better bow. Don't follow all the advertising hype.

[Bowtech Hunter]

well mate if you think its crap then its up to you waht you think. but i do know off about 12 or 13 now that have been sent back to the shop's with this same cam lean thing going on with them. now dont get me rong i think hoyt are a great bow and they make good gear to. just with this bow the cam lean is a problem it may not be with them all but some of them have done it.

cheers zac

Gee, you really have something against Mathews new bow:rolleyes:
Let me ask you something, have you shot a DXT yet?
If not I would have a shot of one before rubbishing it

[danceswithdingoes]

give him a break Moz, his voice probably aint broke yet ;)

[hunt or be hunted]

alrighty guy's, i have decided to keep the vectrix until around christamas but after that its going to be the mathews i think. i will have to find out for myself if i like it or not.

thank's, dan.

Good idea sir.
Shoot it before you buy it if possible. (Unlike me who buys it then shoots it)...

im in the same boat as you bill, i spent 6 months saving up for a bow that id seen a picture of... luckily enough it turned out to be awesome... but probally not the best idea of just hoping that its good with that sorta cash...

and mate if the mathews don't work for you, theres always a bowtech... ;)

[bowhunting4eva]

ha ha i dont think i have ever shot a bow before i have brought it. 3 hours to the nearest good bowshop tho

[hunt or be hunted]

dont think i'll be able to shoot it before i buy it, unless alcock and pierce have one in stock.

dan.

[danceswithdingoes]

what about Urban Archery? They stock mathews bowtech and hoyt.

[fallowhunter]

alcock and pierce would have the mathews and hoyt bows so you would be able to shoot both side by side in their shooting alley (when they are in stock)

[hunt or be hunted]

alright awesome, thank's mate. will have to head down soon and they can check out what is wrong with my bow.

cheers dan.
