Does Mission Hype Dtx Have Draw Stops

Mission bows are all about good value. One fashion to add value is to offer versatility in terms of draw weight and draw length, which enables young shooters to adjust their bow accordingly as they grow. Shooters tin can change draw weights or lengths as workout permits and improvements in shooting form allow. Not all Mission bows are designed with this sort of versatility in mind, but many are, and the Mission Hype DT is amongst them.

Bow Report_Mission Hype DT To offer quality while keeping prices in the moderate range, bow manufacturers often borrow technology from a sis visitor or from a unlike line of bows, and Mission (or more correctly, Mission by Mathews) frequently employs this strategy. At a glance, for instance, the riser, the new grip, the Dead End String Stop, the Harmonic Damper, the Zebra Strings and the Monkey Tails on the strings and cables of the Hype DT all owe something to former or current Mathews designs.

Brand new on the Hype DT, and accounting for the nineteen-to-xxx-inch depict-length bridge, is the F.I.T. (Focused Inertia Tech-nology) Cam System, which is shared with two of the other three new bows in Mission'southward current lineup: the Hype (which is the Hype DT minus the Dead End Cord Stop and the Harmonic Stabilizer) and the Craze II. The draw lengths are easily adaptable without a bow press.

Depict weights on the Hype DT range from 15 to 70 pounds, which, together with the versatile depict lengths, makes this bow accessible to well-nigh whatsoever shooter. A pinnacle speed of 310 fps does not put the Hype DT into the barn-burner class by electric current standards, nor would that be a reasonable expectation in a bow with this kind of versatility and general shootability. To go on things in perspective, at a draw weight of 40 pounds or more than and with the right razor-abrupt broadhead, this kind of speed is more than adequate for hunting whitetails, and at college describe weights is suitable for any North American big game.

The test bow was finished in Lost Camo AT. The Hype DT features near-parallel quad split limbs with contrasting black cams, limb pockets, grip and cable guard, too as black and orange Zebra strings and nicely understated logos. Despite what struck me as a slightly clunky-looking (though comfortable) composite grip, the Hype DT is a very good-looking bow overall. In terms of fit and finish, I constitute no machine marks, burrs or other visible flaws, and the coating passed the scratch test.

Shooting the Bow

Mission bows by and large adjust most accessories on the marketplace, and I had no difficulty setting up the bow with our standard testing accessories, which include the QAD UltraRest and TruGlo sight. The Hype DT presented no difficulties in tuning. The limb bolts turned smoothly and easily without chattering or skipping.

At 3.9 pounds the Hype DT is not a low-cal bow, but the subjective impression is that it'south on the lighter side, possibly because of the compact axle-to-axle length and comfortable grip. And though Mission doesn't hype this quality (forgive the pun), the Hype DT is amidst the smoothest-drawing bows I've tested in recent months. The Draw Strength Curve reveals a gradual rise leveling off for a short time at meridian weight then a gradual drop to letoff, with no humps, bumps or sudden changes. The valley is adequately deep so in that location is no grabbiness. The Hype DT does non take limb or cablevision stops to provide a stone-solid back wall, just this should never exist an issue for whatever shooter who draws through the shot properly and adjusts to correct draw length, and the lack of that brick-wall feel does contribute to the overall smoothness of the draw cycle.

At the shot the bow pops frontwards into the hand, just vibration is minimal. Noise levels are very skilful, which is to say this is a quiet bow. I hesitate to address accuracy when testing bows because it has been a long time since I've encountered a bow that was not accurate when properly tuned. Forgiveness is still a existent if somewhat subjective cistron in compound bows, though, and the Hype DT strikes me as a very forgiving bow. Any bowhunter tin appreciate a pleasant-shooting bow, merely for youngsters or first shooters, pleasant shooting means less fatigue and longer shooting sessions, which translates to increased accuracy and, eventually, extended range. This is a bow I would be happy to hunt with myself, especially if hunting from a treestand or basis blind.
