Lots of other (current) threads on the Eclipse - which I don't know how to link to, so do a quick search.

Briefly, the only downsides to the eclipse are:
  • the fact it is not currently in production (although it is not discontinued: Hoyt lost their manufacturer and is apparently seeking another)
  • the painted finish, which some have found fragile
  • In the currently-available stock, the fact that limb pocket adjustment is factory preset and users are strongly advised not to modify it (though a few here have with no ill effects)
If you can live with these features, its a fantastic riser to shoot and (imho) great value for money.
