Hoyt Carbon Matrix Torture Tests - Archery Forum

gt · 19-01-2010, 12:25 PM

There's been a lot of buzz about these videos that were shown at the ATA show- thought some of you might enjoy them too.

And yes, all of this is real.

And, yes, Hoyt really IS a fun place to work

Pearl Nexus · 19-01-2010, 12:43 PM

Awesome! Besides the strength of the bow, I'm very impressed with the guys having the guts to pull the bow(s) back, let a lone shoot them, straight off the ashphalt - Hoyt must have a pretty good workers comp or something

Marcus · 19-01-2010, 12:44 PM

That was great!

Ozzy · 19-01-2010, 01:37 PM

Fun.

It certainly goes a long way towards overcoming any doubts re the carbon riser's ability to withstand out of the ordinary bizarre punishment.
I wonder how much damage would be done to an equivalent aluminium riser in those extreme tests ?
Generally modern ali risers seem to hold up OK with average use under normal conditions.

Triffle Jack · 19-01-2010, 01:43 PM

thats brilliant!!! how do you compare??

Darren.P · 19-01-2010, 01:50 PM

Samuri · 19-01-2010, 01:57 PM

That was impressive!

I agree, are there videos of anything other than driving a car over them?

stickman · 19-01-2010, 02:30 PM

I'd be a bit wary buying an ex-demonstration model from Hoyt from now on though....

Does that mean that being run over by a truck will not void the warranty ???

primal · 19-01-2010, 03:22 PM

wow, cool. Id be more worried about the strings being cut or cams being bent then the carbon bow exploding.

though mind you all my hoys have cope the occasinal accidental dry fire. and all of them have been fine afterwards. those hoyts are as tough as nails.

BenDy · 19-01-2010, 03:28 PM

That's just sick.

the rev · 19-01-2010, 04:08 PM

Still prefer the slow mo vids of cans of drink and animals LOL way cool

rconnie1 · 19-01-2010, 05:04 PM

VANDALS. I wonder what would happen if they where to run them over long ways

But very impressive riser strength

James Park · 19-01-2010, 05:41 PM

That is REALLY impressive.
I notice in test 3 they did actually drive over the limb.

Jon C · 19-01-2010, 06:16 PM

Those guys are just having way too much fun at work!

Andy! · 19-01-2010, 06:22 PM

This is my favourite.

All done continuously in one take.

How often do you get a laugh out of product testing videos, particularly Archery?

Samuri · 19-01-2010, 07:31 PM

How did someone at Hoyt decide to run a truck over the bow?

Its not the first thing that comes to mind for scientist or engineers who would consider these fun tests as standard data feedback.

The most awesome thing though is it speaks volumes to people of any calibre.

I didn't believe it till I watched those vids!

James Park · 19-01-2010, 07:38 PM

I cannot imagine any other bow surviving that.
