I put my Hoyt quiver back after I made a few modifcations to it. The original posts were to long and really through the balance off. I cut the posts down and retapped them tucking them as close to the bow as possible. I took more off the hood post, maybe 1 1/2" and had to leave a little more on the bottom one for fletch clearance. Worked out perfect balanced it back out like the GN side quiver I had on it.

Just check the bottom one before you cut it so you don't cut to much.

I've noticed that Fred Eichler is using a Hoyt Dorado on his Easton's Bowhunting television program this year. Makes sense given that Hoyt is owned by Easton. From the three new programs I've seen thus far it certainly looks like that bow gets the job done.

Only one I have shot listed above is a Widow and it was almost 10# heavier so it was faster. Now it was also mass weight heavier and with a 600+ gr. arrow so it was super quiet. Mt Dorado has slight vibration in the riser after the shot, its not to loud but you can hear and feel it.  All in all I would say it outperformed my Dorado by a slim margin. A few changes to equal the playing field and would be right there with it.

Would love to get one but I've never seen a LH.  Can't even find info if they make a LH or not, for some reason...

I have a seal skin rest and plate with a match stick under it to get the pivot point right above the deepest part of the grip.

I tapped a hole down in the bottom part of the riser so now I can use the standard screw in mounting with the Great Northern bow quiver.

I would think that they do.  Have you talked to a Hoyt dealer?
