I have a 2007 hoyt vectrix XL . I love it, the weight and everything I have it rigged out with. But the vector cams are a little prehistoric to what today's cams allow when it comes to velocity and let off. My question is, is it possible to buy cams that are for one of the newer Hoyt bows, and put them on my vectrix. Mechanically is it possible and price wise is it feasible? I'd like to keep this bow but maybe I just need to get over this idea and start looking for a new bow.  |

have you talked to hoyt or a bow repair place yet? id be curious to see if a person can get more speed out by changing cams form new to old. the one thing you gotta watch out for though is, limb stress. they may not be able to take the let off stress of the newer cams. I'm sure if there was a safe way to d out, somebody would have already come out with aftermarket cams and pulleys. it just seems to be a safety concern trying to keep up with modern speed with near outdated technology. iv got an 08 mathews dxt and its killed many deer. it still shoots true, and only if the deer were getting faster, would look into getting a new bow.

If you were able to change to a more aggressive cam, you would need to know the new string length that would result from changing cams. Do you prefer single cams, hybrids, or binary. If your gonna change cams why not get what you want instead of what hoyt limits you to. Would be a cool project if you could find an individual that works on bows as a personal hobby. Very doubtful any licensed dealer would touch that project.

I'm gonna give a call to a guy that's local. He's a licensed dealer but he does it out of his shop at the house and I'm sure if it's possible, he'd know how, and most likely be willing to do it for me

If you do decide to go with a new bow and are not a die hard hoyt fan, I have a Mathews z7 extreme. It's an awesome bow , fast with incredible let off. I can draw the bow and literally turn it completely sideways. With the string and the bow out in front of me , arms fully extended. I can hold the bow at full draw for long periods of time without any discomfort or fatigue.

Turning the bow sideways with the string drawn back is dangerous and wouldn't recommend others do it. If when doing this, the string is let down intentionally or un-intintionally the string will probably jump the tracks on the cam resulting in a dry fire. Not telling anyone not to do it, just throwing that out there for safety purposes. |

I can comfortably do it, only did it once, and was outside in a safe area |

And I wasn't talking about holding it sideways for a long time, I'm talking about holding it for as long as I need waiting for a good shot to present itself.
