HavoTec question
i am going to buy the wife a bow in the spring and was going to get her a cheep one and see if she would get into shooting / 3-d and maybe hunting.

RE: HavoTec question
Jimmya,
When Hoyt states that the bow is available from 40-70 lbs they mean that you can get any of the following....
a 40 lb peak draw weight bow, a 50 lb peak draw weight bow, a 60 lb peak draw weight bow or a 70 lb peak draw weight bow. All of them would be adjustable down by roughly 10 lbs. So a 40 lb peak draw weight bow would be adjustable down to 30 lbs and so on and so on.
In order to change draw weight on a bow from one range to another you, generally, have to get a new set of limbs. The limb thickness is, again, generally, what determines draw weight from bow to bow.
On a related note....email me about a Hoyt bow for your wife. My wife has decided that she wants to sell hers and I haven't put it up on Ebay yet.

I am also looking into the Havoc-tech. Hoytt gives you the option of picking your cam and the limbs. I believe the VERSACAM has 65-85% adjustable let-off, and the draw length can be adjusted up to 4 inches without a bow press.

Your right the Versa-cam has the range you describe,4"of draw length adjustment without the need of a bow press,just take out one set screw and move the cam until you get the draw where you want it.
