If you are looking for a smooth, fast 33″ hunting bow the Katerra could fit the bill for you. This bow is pretty much a remake of last years vulcan with some updates. For one the bow has lost almost half a pound and is more portable, though I have always liked the hoyts for being very stable without a stabilizer due to the extra weight of the tech riser. The ata is 33″‘, the brace height is 6″, the cam is the new z3 cam 1/2 in place of the vector cam. The new cam is really smooth and has picked up the speed some as well. IBO rated at 330fps I was able to get 319 out of it at 29″ 70lb with the usual 350gr arrow. With a 30″ draw it will easily shoot the ibo rating and have heard of some shooting the longer draw up close to 340fps. What I like about this bow and its 36″ brother the Katerra xl which has a 7″ brace height is the ability to throw a heavy arrow fast. When shooting the katerra with a 425gr arrow I was still able to get over 300fps with it. With the same arrow out of the xl I was in the upper 280’s(the xl is rated slower than the shorter bow. I shot a 635gr arrow out of the katerra and got 235fps, talk about shoot through something!! I personally like the longer xl due to it being smoother drawing and more forgiving, but you cant really go wrong with either one. The only thing I do  not like about the new hoyts and this years bowtechs as well are the string suppressors. On the hoyt they actually make the bow louder and we have been taking them off. The ones on the bowtech are not as loud but look like an afterthought and are in your line of sight. the hoyt also needs more than the one string silencer that they are putting on the bows now, but I always take them off any way because they dont last long and catwhiskers are quieter in my findings. Other than that they are smooth, fast, and forgiving bows. I love the feel of their grip, not too fat or too thin, or any cold medal to have to hold on to. If your in the market for a new bow give them a try, also when looking for a new bow make sure you shoot every model you can get your hand on and not what somebody is telling you is the best. Archery is very personal and what one person likes another will hate. Try as many as possible and make your own decisions. If your local dealer will not let you shoot the bows first find one that will. You will also come out better going to a proshop over the box stores by getting better service and one on one help. The prices at the proshops are also in line with the box stores if not cheaper, I know I am cheaper than gander mtn or cabelas on most anything.
