    Grips for a Hoyt Elan

    Hi all, I am just wondering if any of the current generation of grips will fit a Hoyt Elan. I never liked the original, and have chopped spares down too much. Something like a W&W or Hoyt GMX size or something would be good. Thanks. Lawrence.

    I have just set up a Hoyt Vantage X7 for a bit of testing fun, without the string stopper attatched, and it seems quite promising... Problem is the string is hitting my arm every shot, BUT on the way back up. So, it is not hitting the arm on the way down, cause the arrow has gone, and the bruise...

    How do you do it exactly?

    I'm just wondering how you would get onto the University GB squad - Compound. Do you have to send off Fita scores etc like normal qualification? and if so, what scores are they/where can I see them/who do I send them to? Or is it more to do with how well you do at events such as the BUCS...

    Apex 7 Dilemma

    Hi all. After just improving my technique, it has called for a new change of drawlength and therefore a new cam. I'm changing from a 28" cam to a 29.5". It cam today and I put the bow together; cam looked fine, and A2A is correct, however, when I shot it, it was way too long. When measuring...

    Tuning a Hoyt Vantage Elite

    Hi Everyone Just got my new Vantage Elite, Cam 1/2 plus, and was wondering how you top guys would tune it.
