Hoyt Buffalo

New Buffalo owner. 55#. Shooting a trigger release(I know, I know). I was trying to figure out why this bow was shooting so much different that my samik sage. Yesterday I took the positive tiller out, making both limbs equal. Grouping and shooting much better now. I quess I don’t need the positive tiller with a release?

Tillers are suggestive and different from a bow to another

On another way you compare a first price bow with Hoyt Buff. Witch is a very good bow

I had one ( 50 lbs ) and I remember berger button was not easy to adjust But it’s a great bow ( for a little price) I ‘ll recommend for 3D, but the last I’ll use for hunting

I also fund this Hoyt a very good bow if shooter is at his best shape If you’r not at 100% the smallest error will be catastrophic

My 55 lb. Buffalo was a nightmare to tune. It came set for 3/8″ positive tiller. I don’t think they pay too much attention to the tiller at the factory, just wrap up a riser and some limbs and ship it off. I reduced my tiller to 1/8″ positive and then fine tuned with double string leaches. I’ve got the upper two string leaches closer to the nocking point than the lower two. This should have the effect of increasing the positive tiller, but when I take off the string leaches and set a higher tiller, I can’t get decent arrow flight – so back to the string leaches. I’m shooting 650 grain 2219’s with FOC of 16%, 30″ long. I draw 28″. A very critical bow to shoot but nice and smooth for a production bow.

I’ve never shot the bow, but I have read the reviews on the 3Rivers site. There are a LOT of reviews and the theme is that the bow is forgiving and shoots well.

I think there may be something going on that is causing your bow to be unforgiving. What do you mean by “can’t get decent arrow flight?”

By adding string leaches, you are giving more inertia to the string which will allow a weaker arrow to fly. This might be a clue to what’s going on… One place to start is by stiffening up your arrow.

I guess I should have clarified that I am now shooting 2219’s. I started with 2117’s and that was where my problem was (besides some operator error). With the 2117’s I needed the string leaches and had to shoot with the cock feather toward the bow. That problem was solved when I went to 2219’s that are just a little too long for my draw length but are just a tad softer at that length and I’m now getting great arrow flight at around 160 fps.

Hi Steve ,

did you saw any reviews on 3 rivers or another web site sailor offering no forgiving bows ?

Forgiving and no shock are first quality all bow sailors or makers assure on their pub !

Everyone knows what to think about theses exceptional ‘’qualities ‘’

Try them and see 😳

The reviews I spoke of are from customers. And yes, there are negative reviews. But the majority of customers were happy with the bow. You should go see for yourself 😯

traders are not idiots they let a few negative evaluations to give a semblance of authenticity

This formula is known and used worldwide

Look at other sites it is the same formula to give a semblance of authenticity

That’s business nothing more nothing less and see your reply, it continues to operate :shock::lol:

Yes dear bowhunter this is true !

In fact, if you’r happy with your bow, why not enjoy it and stop to ask yourself if your choice could be better

Everywhere you go anything you do, You can find better

Why wisdom coulnd not be be happy with what we have ?
