Congrats on your new Bow. Its a nice one for sure!
Two years ago, I replaced my Hoyt TurboHawk that I bought in 2010 with a new Hoyt RX-8. I did not think there would be that much difference but I was completely wrong.
Enjoy your new bow, money well spent!

I'm still shooting an Outback Mathews Bow. I believe that is was introduced in 2000. Still kills big game every year but it would be nice to upgrade.

Wow! It has been a great bow. I bought a second one a few years after I had the first. I needed a backup bow ready to hunt if the one went down.

Let us know how things turn out with your new bow. I still use a whisker biscuit as a rest and have had zero problems etc.. If I ever upgraded I would have a biscuit again.

" Whisker Biscuit"....seems I've heard that word before.......

Nessmuck, were you listening to the Grease Man on the radio and heard that term? whistle

Bruce I agree that a whisker biscuit is a good hunting rest
I believe more than a few beginning Archer's don't learn proper drawing technique when they start out with it.
In my opinion it allows you to be sloppy and still make the shot, which is not a bad thing at all, but
IMO technically proper shooting form should be established before adding gadgets

Nice bow.

What I love is regardless what angle your shooting from a treestand your arrow does not fall off your arrow rest with a whisper biscuit ,and you can concentrate on the deer and your shot as you don't have to look at your arrow rest when your drawing your bow back.
