I cant comment from experience about how the Hoyt recurves shoot (I’m new to Traditional) but I can say why you won’t frind prices posted. Hoyt does not want internet sales of their new bows. I assume their hope is that you will go to one of their certified dealers to assist in proper setup and avoid return/warrenty issues. I know even cabelas only has 6-7 stores that are authorized dealers. Most hoyt compounds fall in the $500 to $1100 area so I’m sure you can expect at least $450+. Just a guess though.

I have an ’89ish Hoyt Huntmaster take down, 58″ AMO, 55# and 45# limbs. The bow shoots very well. Though I have not taken any furry game with it, it has been used as a fishing bow and I have taken many fresh and saltwater fish with it.
I think you can still find the Huntmaster and the Gamemaster just keep cruising the sale sites.

I have had several and never had a “Bad one”. My only complaint would be marked poundage accuracy. They are marked in 5 pound increments and sometimes make the weight, not always.

FYI I just came across a Hoyt Pro medalist hunter 49# on Ebay. Reserve is about $390.

I have two Hoyt recurves,a pro medalist and a Dorado.
But niether of them still has Hoyt limbs on them.
The Dorado comes new with cheap and rather slow limbs which cost the earth to replace with better Hoyt limbs,so it now wears Tradtech Carbonwoods which gets the bow performing how it should of from new.
My Pro medalist has Nishizawa limbs on it,,from the early 70’s.
These limbs were the first set of carbon limbs made from the Nishizawa company which went on to become part of Yamaha archery.
I love Hoyt Risers,,but their limbs are simply way over priced in comparison to other manufactures limbs that are easily as good as Hoyts,,,which is a bit of a bummer because I’d of liked to have kept both bows fully “Hoyt”.
One thing I found when mounting my old “new” Dorado limbs onto a Gamemaster riser,,,they performed a lot better than on the shorter Dorado riser,,,but I’m not shooting a tech riser no matter who made it:oops:
