First off let me say I don't want to spend the change for a 2020 or 2019 Hoyt. But I don't mind spending $600 - 700 on a 1 - 3 yr old bow. I've bought them off AT and eBay with pretty good luck.
I'm looking for a 17' - 19' model that has 30-31" ATA with decent speed. I have a 28" draw and normally shoot 65# or less.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I've owned several Mathews, an Elite, as well as a Bowtech. So, I feel pretty comfortable with my choice of a Hoyt for the time being.

Hoyt carbon bows are hard to beat

I recently bought a 2019 Hoyt Helix right before the new 2020 line of bows came out and I am in love. It draws extremely smooth and is very dead in the hand after the shot. I would absolutely recommend it.

Son shoots a Carbon Defiant pretty much used your description. Dead in the hand

I sold
My last year and loved it , only reason I sold it was 34” and a turbo and was a tad jumpy but one of the best bows over ever owned

I have a Hoyt nitrum 30 I would be interested in selling its 4 years old I believe.

Thanks for the offer.
