| I’ve had a Helix now for about six weeks and haven’t regretted buying it. I wouldn’t describe the Helix as an upgrade to either the Aerotec or Matrix, all three risers are as good as each other, they just feel different to hold and shoot.
I have been using a Matrix for the last two and a half years, but I have shot an Aerotec with Hoyt FX, Border ML2 and TX40 Gold, like JohnK, I found all combinations noisy, regardless of bracing height.
You have to try the Helix because it feels very different from the other two. There is no after shock and very little noise. It is slightly lighter than even the Matrix, the grip is very comfortable and seems to suit most hand sizes.
I have been sent a wood grip to try, this is very different again and probably won’t suit everybody. It is not the usual Hoyt medium, it is a little higher with a flatter and angled surface at the pressure point. When I first saw it, I was very doubtful that I would like it, but I did, it feels very natural and I think it helps to rotate the bowarm to its correct position.  |
