A good problem to have....
I have been shooting my trusty Mathews LX for almost 3 years now and really like it. My one problem is that my draw-length was mismeasured when I bought the bow and I need to be shooting 1-1.5" longer draw than I have been. (been shooting 27.5" and it should be 28.5-29") I shot a buddy's new Trykon with a 28.5 draw + loop and it felt great. I have been planning on buying a new cam to fix this problem.
Now on to my problem.
I went to a 3-D shoot today and while my score left alot to be desired, I did win the raffle they were putting on. The prize? An '05 Hoyt Vipertec! The Viper has a special cam on it that cannot be adjusted but it is currently set for 29". The problem I have now is that I will have to equip the new bow and shoot it against my LX so I can decide what bow to keep.

Oh, man, that sure is some problem lol.
The ViperTec is a really nice bow, short axle to axle, quiet, smooth drawing, love it! Keep it, sell it, either way its a win win situation. Congrats

I can tell the future you know.
You will love the Hoyt.

As far as trading in.. I dont know if you are meaning the Hoyt or my old LX. At this point, it will cost me about $120 for a new cam for the LX or I can shoot the Hoyt just like it is now if I like it. It almost seems a forgone conclusion. Cant wait to go into shop today and and say "remember that cam I was gonna have you order? Well a funny thing happened at the 3D shoot on Sunday..."

Range report....
Ok, I got my gear moved from my LX to the Vipertec. Wow this bow shoots great! It is very quiet and is much easier to shoot than my LX. While I think the draw on my LX is smoother, the Vipertec has a great feel and is more ejoyable to shoot. It turns out that this Vipertec has Spiral cams on it and has an IBO of 320! The tech got it together just before the shop closed so I didn't get to shoot it much but even with a 60# draw, I was getting 259fps. I will have him put all the bow & arrow into the computer and tell me what my optimum draw is but I am going to have it turned up to at least 65lbs.
I guess I have an LX for sale now....
