Mr Bobby Hoyt

Well does anyone know if Mr Hoyt is still taking work? Been trying to call for the last 3 days multiple times and no answer?
Thanks

Unless something has changed very recently.

Are you trying to call very early AM before he fires up the machines? He won't answer if he's working.

He's backed up so much ... he's just not answering the phone - seriously! Last year he had a ~3-month hiatus on accepting new work and I expect him to do so soon ...

Call early in the morning around 8 eastern time or a bit before. Leave him a message, he does return calls. You don't have to call him Mr. either.

I wrote him a letter once. I asked him to write the answers on the back. I included a SASE. The answer came quickly.

He is very busy, try him in am, 7:30 or so.

Can someone give me his contact info? Email? Website? Phone number?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Just google his name, all the info will pop up.

He was hunting, it was late flintlock season here in PA when you were trying to contact him.

Boys it's starting to look like the Price is Right...early morning, around 8:00, 7:30, so I'll be that guy and spilt the difference with 7:45.

Come on down, we'll make your bore bigger no matter octagon or round!!!

I just hope you talk to him with a little more respect on the phone than you appear to talk about him here.

He's a busy man, he's getting up there in years, he as far as I know works by himself in a small shop, and he is a master at what he does for the muzzleloading community without charging crazy high prices.

Working around HIS time frame isn't a lot to ask......

I have talked to him on the phone. He is a good man, talked to several shop owners over the years. I was just joking about all the different times folks were saying to call him. Figured one person saying before 8am would be enough, but apparently not. There are enough prunes in the world, lighten up.

I don't know you from jack chit mr. jokester, but your rudeness so far is more than telling.

Flatter yourself to think you rate high enough to tell me "lighten up".......

And the urination contest continues into the new year………

Man is well known and respected for the work he does. Guy like that? I would deal with him on HIS terms. No use or benefit in thinking you deserve better or being pushy.

I've been to his shop (more than once)and if you don't get HIM before the machines start you must leave a message . HE IS A MASTER CRAFTSMAN , and a fine person he will give you an honest opinion, a great barrel at more than fair price. He is very busy but will always make time for you when he catches up with his work load.

I now have 2 Hoyt made barrels and 3 rebores by Mr Hoyt all shoot great HE'S WORTH YOUR TIME AND RESPECT

A jerk comment regarding a highly respected craftsman got called out.

Nothing less, nothing more.

There's no "contest", unless you're making a play for one.......
