Hoyt CRX 32
Personal Commentary by Jon Silks about the Hoyt CRX 32:
First, it should be noted that the CRX32 ranked 2nd in speed even though you would not have guessed it considering advertised IBO ratings. This is a quick rig. The lack of much valley at full draw cost the CRX 32. In the other categories it did incredibly well with two number one slots and a number two rank. This is a great bow from start to finish and while the draw is stiff it does not have any abrupt transitions. The testers did not like how it wanted to sneak out of full draw; however, my guess is that familiarity would soon allow the shooter to relax into the letoff. I like how the CRX 32 handles - it is lightweight, compact and comfortable.

Using the Above Table: Kinetic Energy: (in foot-pounds)
This is the energy that actually goes into propelling the arrow. Basically it is the energy that is left over from the stored energy after all of the bow system friction is accounted for. Using The Above Graph: The area under the graph signifies the amount of energy stored by the system from brace height to full draw (power stroke). The shape of the curve is generated by a plot of draw weight in pounds against draw length in inches and gives an indication of how the bow will feel when drawn. The more rounded the curve the more "smooth" the feel of the draw cycle, however, if the curve is "squared-off" it will likely feel more aggressive. The trade off comes in performance, as the more aggressive curve is generally indicative of more stored energy and more speed.
