RE: ? on Hoyt Magnatec' s
I have a 01 Magnatec, there were minor little changes since then but not a whole lot, up until this year with the cam & 1/2. I love my bow and it' ll be great for a long time I hope! If you like it and the price is good then go for it. New bows are like new cars...too damn expensive! [:@] JDinAB

RE: ? on Hoyt Magnatec' s
I would go for the 2002 0r 2003 cam 1/2.I own a 99 Red line HO.I loved this bow untill I bought the new cam 1/2.The newer line gets much better nock travel.My 99 also had a built in over draw which was a hinderence on arrow rest selection.Also drop away rest would not get vane clearance.The knock travel was so bad.

RE: ? on Hoyt Magnatec' s
i have a 03 mt sport and i' ll tell you it' s great , you have to try one for yourself ,you won' t be dissapointed , i think the cam and 1/2 would be better for a beginner than a solo cam ,but like i said you have to try for your self and see what is most comfortable for YOU ! the cam and 1/2 is smooth and quiet. good luck , let us know what you decide on.

RE: ? on Hoyt Magnatec' s
Ditto on the comments about the built-in overdraw. It was not until last year when Hoyt finally dropped the built-in overdraw on the Magnatec. In my opinion, this was a big step in making the bow less sensitive to shooting errors and more accurate overall.
Considering an ZR200 limbed 2003 Magnatec Cam and a Half sells for around $300 in my neck of the woods I say that you should stick with the newer model.
