Hoyt Spyder Turbo or BowTech Insanity
« on: January 01, 2014, 08:42:00 PM »
I'm looking into another bow set up, ultimately looking for speed and KE with hunting weight arrows (400+ grains). Two bows that have caught my eye are the Hoyt Carbon Spyder Turbo and the BowTech Insanity. The Hoyt would be in the 70-80lb draw weight with a 29" draw, and the Insanity IBO's 15fps faster but I'm not a previous BowTech owner and therefore unfamiliar with their bows. So, before I go and shoot them, I'm interested in hearing what the USERS of these bows have to say (pros & cons). Please don't start a pissing match here guys, and don't argue what others have to say about their bows  :tup:

Don't pay attention to these bowtech guys.  Go with what fits you go shoot them both see what one you like better.

I am tagging this because I have gone from the Hoyt/Reflex to a Bowtech.

How did I know you were going to chime in.  :chuckle: but D-Rock425 is right.  Go shoot them and see what fits you the best.  I like the Bowtech so far. Nice smooth draw and very quiet compared to my Hoyt and my Hoyt is pretty quiet.

I shot Hoyt for 8 years and switched to Mathews after shooting the Z7 Magnum. It's one of the smoothest bows I've ever shot. I am curious if the Insanity will be as smooth with the extra 15 fps.

My Hoyt is over 5 years old and set maxed out at 76 lbs of draw.  I noticed on the Bowtech set maxed at 63lbs feels like a heavier draw.  Maybe that is the difference in a cam and a half on the Hoyt to single cam on the Bowtech.  I surely got more speed in the Bowtech then the Hoyt.  I shot the Spyder 34 last year.  That was a nice shooting bow.  I got my Bowtech on a great trade deal with a fellow member.  :tup: I couldn't pass it up.
