If you haven’t seen the video of Hoyt’s “Torture Test” on the new Carbon Matrix bow, you are missing an impressive display of durability. Several Hoyt employees use a bow as a crash-test dummy and spend several minutes driving over the Carbon Matrix like a monster truck driver surrounded by junk cars.

After suffering heavy traffic in the last several hours of the original application period, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources suffered technical difficulties in the online application system. Because of this, the application period has been extended until 11 p.m. on March 8, 2010.
