Anyone have or had a Hoyt Huntmaster?

Anyone give me some feedback on these, I have traded for #50,58", nice looking bow, is on the way. All feedback appreciated, anyone know the app. value?

Sam,

In my opinion they are neat bows.  I've shot one that was way heavy for me but it shot very nice.  I think you're going to like it.  I've no idea on the value.  Nave fun!

I have one and really like it. Straight shooter, fairly quite. I use it as a back up bow.

I've got one...LOVE it!!  Shoots great, nice and quite, easy to take down with the knurled nobs.  I put thin leather in the channel to cushion the limb from the metal.  Don't know if it really does anything, but the gentelman I bought mine off of shot it that way and so do I.  The only reason he sold it was to fund upgrading to a new custom bow.  I believe I paid around $250 about 5+ years ago.  It was a real steal off of **** and came with #45, #60, and #70 limbs.  It shoots the same weather I have on the #45 or #60 limbs.  The #70 limbs are miss marked as #40, but when you string it up you know right off it's really #70!!  Hope this helps.

I still have my Huntmaster. I bought it back in the 80's for 200.00 dollars. She was redone a few years back. New handle shaped, did away with the limb brackets and installed pins. Shaped the limbs a little, added antler limb bolts and partial snake skins. She's 60 plus pounds, which i have outgrown. Like 45 to 58lbs better. She still shoots good out to twenty yards. But i retired her.

That was my frist recurve 65#@28 bought it back in the late 80's. I liked the bow alot but it developed a twist. I have been thinking of cleanig it up and removing the twist this winter. I sure killed alot with that one.

A Huntmaster was my first recurve bought sometime in the 80's for $150 at a local archery shop I used to shoot at that has long since closed.
Mine is 45#@28 and usually comes out each spring a few times..  Shoots great!

I've still got mine.  bought it new around 88 for 150.00.  I radiused the shelf and painted it but it still shoots good.  Has a lot of stack if you have a longer than 29 inch draw tho.

I bought a new one back in the 80's for about 150.00 bucks. Shot my first deer with it a 6 pointer. Had to build up the shelf a little and the grip was too large for my liking. It was 55#@ 28" and 58". I guess it wasn't too bad of a bow for the money!

Thanks for all the replies guys. I will see how this one does. I am pretty sold on Quinns, lots of dead critters cant be wrong and I just shoot them better than any other bow I have shot. This bow is 58", I like 60-64 better, but may use this as a backup bow, or trad bait to get a couple of newbies I have on the brink of taking the plunge and getting into trad full blown. Thanks again, Sam.
