Matt from AL asks: Bill, simple question. Can you explain the performance advantages or differences in a machined vs. cast riser? I am on the fence with the Hoyt Rampage XT, CRX and the Maxxis. The other night I shot the XT and the CRX side by side. Felt a little vibration after the shot on the XT. Not a lot. I plan on going back and trying it with a stabilizer. Just thought I’d ask you if there’s anything else to consider when weighing the differences. I was very impressed with all three bows. Thanks Winke Responds: Matt, There is no real difference in performance. The machined riser has the potential to be stiffer for the same weight since it comes from a forging (better molecular density to the metal). However, I have to believe even the cast risers are plenty stiff to produce consistent accuracy. For the money, it is hard to beat the Rampage XT. It is what our producer Greg Clements is shooting and he loves it. Hoyt wants me to shoot their top line bows, but I would be more than ha
