Post by: mtbiker on December 10, 2012, 09:49:15 AM: The Turbo has been the lower priority for them in terms of getting bows to shops. They are trickling into shops, now. The "standard" patterns and weights are coming first. I ordered a 65 lbs, half-and-half (black riser, Realtree limbs), so it's taking longer. But that's ok. I'd rather wait and get exactly what I want.

Post by: dkecoleman on December 22, 2012, 08:51:19 AM: I really want one, been looking at them a lot, I'm going to need a complete set up, and I can't get over $1500 on a bow, crazy to me. So now that you have had it for awhile how is it?
Title: Re: hoyt spyder 30
Post by: h20hunter on December 22, 2012, 08:53:58 AM: Ive got enough for the bow....just need to save a bit more for add ons.
Title: Re: hoyt spyder 30
Post by: dkecoleman on December 22, 2012, 09:09:10 AM: I'm really close to pulling the trigger, and probably would have the other day, but no one around has a 27 inch draw model, and everyone has told me Hoyt has been slow getting out bows lately

If you don't mind me asking, what shop is that? I have a Hoyt that could use a little tune up and I might even be open to a bow upgrade.

:)

Post by: dkecoleman on December 31, 2012, 07:56:08 AM: Hoyt300,

Is that something that is common with Hoyt bows? Seems too early to be headed back to the shop for cam issues, considering it cost $900. I guess it could just be a break in thing, what's your thoughts, thanks for posting that.

It is a break in thing. The factory strings will stretch a little.

I love my Hoyts. I have a Vector Turbo on the way. Wish I could swing the Spyder Turbo but the Vector should be no slouch either.

Post by: hoyt300 on December 31, 2012, 03:03:30 PM: I think the cams being out of sync was to do with changing from 28" draw to 29" I have shot few arrow thru it I did notice the bow was get louder when i was shooting the top cam was a 1/4" out of sync

Post by: blacktailcody on December 31, 2012, 03:31:14 PM: I am getting the Spyder turbo in #80 this spring.

Post by: h20hunter on December 31, 2012, 03:33:29 PM: Hoyt.....would you mind mentioning which shop you used? I'm in the market and very close to pulling the release on a new Spyder 34....always looking to hear feedback especially on such a recent purchase.

Post by: Yankee on December 31, 2012, 07:29:27 PM: I stopped by Riverside Archery up in Mt. Vernon and really enjoyed talking to the staff there. Nock Point in Lynnwood also sells Hoyts, probably where I'm going to order mine from only because it's in my 'hood.
Title: Re: hoyt spyder 30
Post by: hoyt300 on December 31, 2012, 07:39:55 PM: been to nock point before never will buy anything from them again or have them touch my bow. they tried to sell me there demo releases and when they work on my bow they messed it up

You mean one like this???

I've had it for about two weeks, now. Not a lot of arrows through it so far, but I'm lovin' it. Smooth draw and solid wall. And the least amount of shock and noise of any bow I've owned (multiple Athens, Bowtech, Mission). I did get grip side plates with it, which I like better than the stock, full grip (which it's bad either). I have it setup at 61 lbs. and 28.5" draw. I will say the 6" brace height is keeping me honest in terms of form. At this point I really can't think of anything to nit pick about it.
