New hoyts came out today!

[BrandonWatts]

Vector 35   that's like 3 years old.

I know I know. The nitrum turbo is temping just can't get into the new 2016 bows. Maybe they have to grow on you.
Maybe I can pick up a nitrum at a close out price!

I have an opportunity to pick up a Nitrum 30 for $650 BNIB. I just haven't been able to find one to shoot to know if I should jump on it.

Should start seeing them on Ebay or ArcheryArgument for pennies on the dollar soon. 

Don't think I could ever get myself to shoot a Turbo.  But if the Nitrum 34 would have been lighter and accepting of the old grip I'd probably have one in the closet.  It's a really nice bow!  And the new Defiant 34 is sure to be even better.  Even if it is Hoyt slow and anchor heavy.  Looks to me, from an engineering standpoint, to be the best bow Hoyt has ever made.

So?  The old guys said same thing when 38" compounds came out.  Heck I wish it was smaller.  Like rifles (300short) people want small light and performance to match. Waffle?  Yes but it reminds of bridges and engineering principles so I see strength and like it. Oh and its still faster.

Well at 333 its not faster than the hoyts I shoot so I guess it's still slower.

Se se Senor.  I tested the hoyts then. Very nice shooters.  Almost bought turbo??

I'll check out some Bows this weekend I think.

the spyder is a much better bow than the nitrum

What spyder are you talking about?

[bugs n bones]

The regular spyder not the carbon, it's quieter, smoother and just a tick faster

You must not have shot the same Nitrum that I did.  I found the Nitrum quieter, stiffer, more stable and one whole heck of a lot better about torque.  So much better in my way of thinking I wouldn't even put them in the same class.

If I had a Spyder and a Nitrum laying beside me when I saw a world record muledeer I would pick the Nitrum 100 out of 100 times for that shot!  Spyder would never even enter my thought as the go-to bow in such a situation.  Though I'd probably have a perfectly tuned Bowtech Experience there and never think about picking either Hoyt at that moment

Well your a pro and I'm fairly new to archery. All my friends shoot hoyts and each if us have different models. It was are opinion the spyder was better than the nitrum but opinions very I guess. He'll even the old man that owns knockpoint thought it was a better bow but there again opinions very. My bad

[bullfisher]

Oh yeah, the 2016 bows are so much better. They're quieter, smoother, faster, shorter, loaded with all kinds of new technology. You cant kill anything without one 



sorry, I had to...

We all like what we like.

From an engineering standpoint I should absolutely HATE single cam bows.  But I like them!  Been my choice of bow many times over on big hunts.  Take life and/or equipment too seriously and we forget to have fun.  One of the reasons I have a difficult time with Hoyt cult members, but endlessly joke around with D-Rock.

Spyder is a good bow.  Up until last year I put it as maybe #3 Hoyt bow of all time.  I would shoot it without regret if I had no choices.  Same thing can not be said for a lot other bows out there.

Wife has a Carbon Spyder.  At first I even thought about getting one.  Over time, though, we have grown disappointed with it.  She is back to shooting an old Kobalt instead.  I expect this year the Spyder will be replaced with the 2016 model.  The reduction in torque last year combined with the improved fulcrum this year looks to be so much better!  Time will tell, I guess.  Just wish we could have a choice in ordering with the old Kobalt grip.  I might very well go back to Hoyt if that happened
