Hoyt Buffalo Recurve
« on: June 05, 2011, 10:41:00 AM »
Has anyone shot one of these bows? I have had Gamemasters. I like the low grip. Is the Buffalo similar in proformance?

The search function will yield a great many threads on this very subject. As I recall, there was a frenzy right about the time this Buffalo bow was being introduced.

I have shot the Buff next to the dorado i can not justify the extra $ on the buff. Yes it's a nice bow , yes it its a pound lighter mass weight wise. it was smooth and i shot fantastic with it but imho the dorado is the way to go

Buffalo is quiet, quick and very stable. I bought mine used so didn't lay out the big bucks. It's the best shooting bow I own. I have shot a Dorado and the Buffalo is far superior. Shorter riser, lighter weight, Paralever Formula Hoyt limbs (same as their Olympic limbs).

I've owned and shot the GameMaster and Dorado and I like the Buffalo the best. I've only had it a short time but it seems to shoot really well for me. The grip is the same Hoyt grip as their other bows so you can replace it with whatever suits you best. Mine came with a fairly low wrist on it that might be what you want.

The limb attachment is really cool as well.

Yep many threads on this, just do a search and have responded several times, but still loving my Buffalo and much better bow then the Gamemaster or Dorado.  The grip is very low, lower then I like so swapped out for the Dorado grip and like it better.

I have a buffalo and a dorado. I like them both alot, I dont think the buffalo is worth the extra cash. They are very nice and both great shooters. I like the buffalo best it is just priced to high. If you are on a tight budget go with the dorado you will be very happy.
