You mean like the one below??? It's an awesome bow. I will say the 6" brace is keeping me honest. It's a tack driver if my form is on. If not, it's clear that I'm getting lazy with my shot execution. This one has side plates on it. Since this pic was taken I've removed them and shooting bare riser now, which I like the best (of the three --- full grip, side plates, or bare riser). Also, I've added three 1oz. weights on the end of the 8.5" carbon blade to get the balance I want.

Yeah, I'm very, very happy with it. BTW pianoman9701, I just got some of that Scorpion Venom bowstring wax you recommended on another thread awhile back. That stuff is the bomb! I'll never go back to the usual Bohning stick stuff.

Post by: D-Rock425 on February 13, 2013, 10:40:46 AM: Mtbiker and I must have the same tastes in good bows. Here's a picture of my vector turdo all blacked out with side plates as well.

Post by: mtbiker on February 13, 2013, 11:48:09 AM: haha, I was gonna get the same bow you have D-Rock, but I was shopping last November and was told that I couldn't get the VT in a half-and-half/65 lbs. Oh well, I'm very happy with the Spyder Turbo. Hey maybe we can sync-up at a shoot and let the "kids" play together. Kinda like a play date. :chuckle:

Post by: D-Rock425 on February 13, 2013, 12:45:52 PM: Sounds good. Who said you couldn't get the vector turbo half and half?
Title: Re: Hoyt Spyder Turbo Ordered Up
Post by: mtbiker on February 13, 2013, 12:58:02 PM: Bill at the Nock Point. At that point they were in Spyder production mode and not making or dealing with any custom order VT's (so I was told). I could have went with a standard camo pattern and 70 lbs limbs that they had in stock, but I was set on a half-and-half @ 65 lbs.

Post by: D-Rock425 on February 13, 2013, 12:59:32 PM: Half and half at 65# is what I got as well.

Post by: Sigmanu262 on March 28, 2013, 11:32:24 PM: I picked up the spyder turbo a couple weeks ago. Love it!! Got mine in snow camo. I just couldn't get over how smooth it was.
Title: Re: Hoyt Spyder Turbo Ordered Up
Post by: D-Rock425 on March 29, 2013, 06:52:13 AM: I just orders myself one yesterday. Going back to a all camo bow for hunting.

Right on. Looks good. I loved my vector turbo and almost bought a spyder turbo but have always wanted to try out one of the carbon bows so I went with an element g3. Those sypders are sweet though.
