well hoyt has good customer svc but in my opinion theres no need in spending 500 more dollars for a carbon element when a vector 32 shoots the same and is just a good of bow. I have shot both mathews and hoyts and i wont shoot anything but a z7 extreme until they quit making it

I dont shoot one personally but one of my really good friend has 2 of them. I think they are loud shooting next to my EVO and my other buddies Heli-M. If it were up to me and wanted a light bow, I would go with the Heli-M and save $.
IMO, the EVO is hands down a better bow. The Heli-M is a better bow too. This is just my opinion and others will say differntly.
If you shoot it and like it, go with it and rock it!
I avoid Dick's and hope they fold.

It looks cool but is too darn expensive. Although I shoot a Mathews Z7, my son shoots a 3 year old Hoyt Maxxis and drives tacks with it. I bet the new Hoyt Vector shoots just as well as the much more expensive Carbon Element.
However, if you plan on running over it with your pickup, then it might be the bow for you.
Mathews Z7 Bow for Whitetail and Hogs
Remington R-15 .223 REM for predators
I also like to "hunt" sporting clays with my Benelli SuperSport!

I'm getting a barely used Mathews DXT, I know its not a new one, but new to me, and will be my first bow. I've shot a lot of them at the pro shops, but I don't know enough about them yet to give guidance one way or the other
Early to bed, early to rise, hunt all day and make up lies.

I love the Insanity, it gives you the performance of the destroyer 350 with the feel of the Invasion. Its very smooth drawing also.
