Cams are available in draw lengths that range from 24 to 30 inches and each set of cams can be adjusted for either or percent letoff. The real magic of this system is that it can produce great speeds with an exceptionally smooth draw. Several features and accessories work together to make the Katera quiet and easy on the shooter's hand upon release. The parallel limbs move in equal and opposite directions when the bow is fired, effectively canceling out the leftover energy that would normally cause vibration and noise.
Hoyt's new Dual RizerShox System consists of two independent units compressed into strategically placed cutouts on the riser. RizerShox are made of Limbsaver's Navcom material. Also fighting noise and vibration is Hoyt's improved AlphaShox limb dampeners, StringShox and the patent pending StealthShot String Suppression System, which tames after-shot string movement. Testing The Katera was set up with a single brass nocking point and shoot-through style arrow rest.
Draw weight was set to 70 pounds and the draw length measured 30 inches. Tests were performed to acquire speed, kinetic energy, stored energy, efficiency and draw cycle data. Speed tests include the use of a properly spined grain arrow and two chronographs set in series. A portable shooting machine and a bow drawing device are used for testing results.

I wish I could say this for Bowtech as they have a great shooting bow but there is something wrong with it as the limbs fail prematurely and have not quite figuredit out. I got ideas but no hard evidence. Any way Most that shoot he XF love the spped they get and can get good speeds and KE out of lower poundage bows.
Both are a good choice but it is your descision so don't rush it. Find the one that trips your trigger. See if you shop will let you do this. Get 5 feet in front of the target and close your eyes for 10 seconds, Draw, hold, shoot. You may wind up with a totally different bow than you mentioned here.
Good luck, let us know how it turns out. Hardwood Senior Member Jul 27, I've shot a couple of the famous Matthews and none ever floated my boat. But lots of folks swear by em. Anybody else with any good or bad experiences with either I'd preciate the info.
Thank ya for the advice Mr. Jul 27, Hoyt Katera!!!! Big John Senior Member Jul 27, Hoyt Thompson said:. Larry Rooks Senior Member Jul 28, I have also shot the X Force, harsher draw but that is where all that blistering speed comes from.
Shoot both and go from there. And, when testing them, make sure they are set at the draw weight that you will be using to hunt with. Some demo bows may be 60 pounders and there is a LOT of difference in how a 60 vs 70 draws.
I'm shooting a Katera and love it.
