North Dakota Bruiser - North Dakota
Ralph and his North Dakota buck
Ralph and his son R.J. celebrate.
Team Hoyt's Ralph Cianciarulo uses Hoyt's all-new, ultra-light, super tough bow to tag heavy-horned North Dakota bruiser!
When Hoyt Pro Staffer Ralph Cianciarulo recently found a box from Hoyt on his front porch, he knew right away his season was about to get exciting.
"When I opened the box and saw the new AlphaMax, I was more than a little excited," Ralph said. "And when I got my hands on the bow, my first thought was, ‘HOLY COW!’"
"Hoyt really listened to everybody on this one," Ralph said. "Treestand bowhunters in the East and Western bowhunters alike will love this bow. AlphaMax offers exactly what bowhunters and dealers have been begging for … speed, lightweight design, modular adjustment, unbeatable toughness … it’s truly the total package. Hoyt’s engineers have hit a home run with the AlphaMax!"
It’s easy to understand Ralph’s excitement. With a radical new design and a complete overhaul from cam to cam, the 2009 AlphaMax is a bowhunter’s dream come true. Weighing only 3.9 lbs. and featuring new cam, riser, limb and pocket technologies, AlphaMax is undoubtedly Hoyt’s lightest, toughest, best-performing bow ever.
Ralph and his wife Vicki – two of Team Hoyt’s most notable Pro Staffers – had precious little time to get their new bows dialed in before a much-anticipated North Dakota whitetail hunt with Double B Outfitters.
"We ripped open the boxes and got to work," Vicki said. "The bows quickly tuned without issue, and they shot phenomenally well. They’re SO quiet! The bow is just dead in your hands. You really can’t describe it. You just have to shoot it for yourself to experience how unbelievably quiet AlphaMax is."
Ralph didn’t waste any time recording one of AlphaMax’s first kills. Just days ago – right after arriving in North Dakota – he found success in the form of a huge-bodied, heavy-horned 11-pointer that tipped the scales at over 250 lbs. The hunt will be featured on an upcoming episode of Ralph and Vicki’s "Archer’s Choice" TV show, which airs on The Outdoor Channel.
