Hi, need some help, been debating for months on buying a new bow. Its come down to the CRX 32 and the Maxxis 31, tried the crx and liked it at the time I tried it. Now have an opportunity to buy a 2011 loaded crx 32 for 600.00. after doing the research on inet on both maxxis and crx I hear some negatives on the valley and wall and harshness of the crx. Now I'm fifty and the shoulders arent as limber as used to be, so I'm alittle nervous about going with the crx. So I'm hoping some of you that have either of these two can give me some input, really apprieciatte(sp) it. thx

Not_nuf_time,

I shot the CRX and really wasn't in love with it. Just like you said, the draw cycle didn't feel good to me at all. I shot both the Maxxis 31 and 35 and much prefered the draw cycle of the 35. FYI- I'm a fan of longer bows, so my opinion is biased in that regard. That bias isn't about draw cycle- to me, that's more objective than the reasons I have a bias towards longer bows. So regardless of my bias, the draw cycle of the 35 felt a lot better to me. That being said, both the Maxxis 31 and 35 are sweet shooters.

Be sure to check out HSOList for Hoyt Maxxis 35.

Wow, thanks for the quick responses. I do shoot a Hoyt right now, but it was the first real bow I've had so I didn't notice the valley being short. Thanks Scoot for the offer but I have a preference to the shorter bows. keep the rely coming any advice is good, unless it's bad advice. wink

I have shot a Hoyt Vectrix XL for the last 4 years. I really like the smooth draw of the Vector cam and 1/2 system, but the valley is kind of short on it. I am 49 w/ bad shoulders also so it hurts when it does want to take off on me. I bought a Maxxis 35 this winter and like the back wall on it better. If you are familiar with Bill Winke at all (Midwestwhitetail.com) he said the Maxxis had a more comfortable back wall than the CRX did.

Went to Bwana's to test some bows last Saturday. Tested a 2010 Hoyt Maaxis 31, a 2011 Hoyt CRX and a 2011 Bowtech Assassin. Out of the three, all set at about 60 lbs, I liked the feel, balance, draw cycle and shot of the CRX the most. I liked the feel of the Maaxis in my hand, but the shot wasn't quite as smooth as the CRX. The draw and balance of the Assasin was good, the bow is wicked fast, but as expected, the "aftershock" of the shot was more than I wanted.

I'm gonna test the 2012 Hoyt Vector 32 and see if I like that, but not until somebody has this in left hand with my draw length. I wanted to try the 2012 Carbon Element w/RKT cam, but their only lefty didn't have the right cam components for my draw length.

If anyone knows or owns a shop with a 2012 Carbon Element RKT or 2012 Vector 32 in LH that can be set to 27" - let me know. I have to try these two before deciding on which bow I want to buy. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

you need to head over to A-1 archery. They had a close out on 2011 bows and have one left handed bow left(Carbon Element). Think they were 889. If they do not have any left over. They do have the 2012 Elements in. . I just picked up the Carbon Element.

I just sold my 2010 Maxxis- it's a rock solid bow IMO. Mine was easy to tune and it was a tack driver. It's a very nice combo of quiet and pretty fast- I was shooting very quiet and pushing a 450+ grain arrow at exactly 300 fps (29.5" drawlength and set at 68 lbs).

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
