I have been looking at the new Hoyt buffalo, may be a shooter, and everyone has been ooohhing and aaahhhing, but it looks ugly as sin to me. I like metal risers, have several, but this thing just looks lumpy, only way I know how to describe it. Reminds me of the emperors clothes.

I think it looks OK

It's got a really nice grip and was pretty smooth drawing. It was loud but everything seems loud compared to my critter gitter.

I think it looks sweet with very nice lines. I'm biased though as I have one coming.

I am not a metal riser guy, however I find the Hoyt Buffalo appealing and have found it to shoot quite nicely.

I got to handle a riser Friday. I thought it had pretty nice lines for a metal one...

It would be prettier if it was ILF.I think the whole thing was a bad idea.Just my opinion for what it's worth.

The Buffalo and the Dorado look ok, to me the GameMaster II is the ugly sister in that family.

I agree with arrowwood. The GameMaster is the ugly one. I think the buffalo is really good on the eyes.

No dice! the only metal on my bows will be the broad heads fly out of them

I seen one at a shop on Thursday and I didn't like the look of it in person compared to pics from the catalog. I guess I'm just a Dorado lover! I bet its a dang good shooter though! As far as the ILF aspect of it that don't bother me because when I had a Dorado I never changed limbs on it either, thats what my Excel is for and its way cheeper. Now that puts me at spending 700 on a bow that I can't change up much, I would rather use that money on a nice custom. At least you can find Dorado's for 300-350.

though there's probably not a thing wrong or bad with the hoyt buffalo, i prefer bows mostly made outta wood 'n' grass. i think metal risered bows belong best to target archers. yeah, for me it's just about aesthetics.

I think it looks okay to me. But, it's maximum length is only 60". Now, I've drawn some 60" recurve bows. Some of been smooth drawing and some have been a little harsh, but with my 30" draw length, they "all" gave me a case of finger pinch.

If looks could kill............

mahantango · « **Reply #18 on:** January 16, 2011, 08:08:00 AM »

I think it looks pretty cool, as does my Gamemaster. And my '64 and '66 K-mags, '68 Kodiak Hunter, '72 Howatt, Wing Thunderbird, Hollenbeck custom.... They all have their own personalities and I love them all.

While this may not be "PRODUCTIVE" sometimes it's interesting to hear an opinion on the eye appeal of the different bows we all shoot--Personally bows with metal risers have no soul ----CNC machined trad bows just remind me of "them there cam bows".
