I've always had a hard time ignoring the smooth draw cycle of hoyt. But I also shoot a prime Ct5 very well. The prime has a solid backwall with limb stops, which my hoyts do not. I think all manufacturer's fit certain shooters styles differently. First impressions are not always what they seem IMO. I don't care much for primes draw cycles as they are pretty harsh but I bought mine years ago, used, without shooting it and I found that I shoot it very well. So when hitting the center matters most, it just flat out works.
