I'm still waiting on the dad'gum 09 hoyts to show up. Our sales rep seems to be often tardy returning phone calls.... said they shipped on Friday last... should be here tmw.... but likely not til after thanksgiving.
However....
today the UPS guy broght a different kinda oblong box from even further out west.
Saw Diamond on the box... new it could only be one thing.....the Iceman.
Bow is nice and light.... almost exactly the same size as the Admiral at glance. Subtle differnces in the lines.. and of course its a one cam.
The draw is smooth as fresh churrned butter. This bow was a 29" 71# and had a BC speed of 302fps. I shot it over the chrono with tied nock sets, loop, WB and a 425gr Maxima Hunter and it registered 274fps and 275fps several times respectively.
Its not quite as quiet as the Admiral... but honestly the admiral is about the quietest bow I've ever shot. The Iceman is still very mum. Its a different kinda noise... sort of a pinging thump... hard to explain.
No vibrations... no shock... nice and smooth. If you were thinking about getting one... go ahead and put a deposit down.

OK, you talked me into it. I think I'll get one.
