Yup. . . that is the one I remember from around 1990. Used it for a couple of months when I would go to indoor shoots.  I actually shot it as well as my recurve. Man I could shoot that thing. . . wish I would have bought it. . .

You've got your hands on a nice shooter there.  Congrats.

Yes Earl made a beautiful bow in St. Louis. Recommended brace height is between 6 3/4" to 7 1/4".  

My Rogue (serial #293) "likes" to brace right at 7" even. This bow always shoots where I'm looking. Shoot it in to find your sweetspot.

These bows are deadly, quiet,lightweight and beautiful. My Rogue goes on every trip with me. Even if I'm hunting another bow the Rogue is always my backup bow. A pic of my Rogue being my "go-to" bow on a trip last May, 08.

450 Marlin,
I tried to respond to your e-mail yesterday and I couldn't get through for some reason or other. Here is my original response (although I don't think that it will be of much use now, I didn't want you to think that I didn't answer you).

Hi Roy,

It's a pleasure to be of service.
In the manual it states that the 66" Rogue should have a brace height of between 7" to 7 1/2".
I have a 30" draw with that bow so I shot it at the higher end of 7 5/16" for a long time and it seemed fine for me (with the arrows I was using at the time).

I started up my off season bow practices last week and I always use that bow to warm-up before going to my heavier bows. It's a really nice bow and I shot deer, black bears, and caribou with it, despite the relatively light poundage.

               Have fun,
                         Ken

Nice looking bow

I ordered a Rogue when they first came out.  There were some production delays it seems and after about 18 months I cancelled the order.  I wanted the shorter bow, they did offer the 66" but I was holding out.  That is one bow I've always desired to have.  I can say that speaking to Mrs. Hoyt was always a pleasure and I never felt bad toward them.  Now I just feel silly for not getting the 66".  I still remember how "cool" that bow looked in the advertisement.
