This past spring I purchased a Hoyt rampage xt.
Very long story short, I have not been happy with it. I shoot inch groups at twenty yards and foot groups at thirty. I cnat hit the bag all the time at forty. Supposedly my form, draw length and hold are all good.
iam seriously considering selling it and going back to my old bear g2 single cam.
I have been to three different bow shops, as I just don't trust the guys I bought it from, another long story.
In a two week period it had been tinkered with by pros 3 times. They have messed with center shot, timing, knock point. Each one said that something different was wrong.
The last place I took it said the timing was off. I'm trying not to get excited about it but was told when I bought the bow that cam timing would not be an issue as it is a cam and a half bow.
The last place also had me shoot it through paper and it shot way low left and the guy said to ignore it and that it didn't mean anything.
So it should not surprise me that the string would stretch after a couple hundred arrows, but how soon is that going to go out again?
I am hoping that it is finally dialed in. If it is, how often should I assume I have to get it tuned? Yearly, monthly? I have waaayyyy too much money in this bow right now that I may use three weekends this fall.
I am remembering why I gave up bow hunting with a bow a couple of years ago. Way too many thing that can go wrong!
