Title: Finally did it....2013 Hoyt Spyder 34
Post by: h20hunter on March 30, 2013, 08:32:36 AM: Well, I finally got time to post this up. Bought my new Spyder 34 from Nock Point. As it has been mentioned the guys at Nock are a little rough around the edges....just like me! Anyway, I had a great experience and feel that I've bough a great bow as well as a bow shop. I picked up a doz Easton Axis arrows, a QAD Ultra Rest, a 5 pin Spott Hogg, and a new release. I've taken it out to the range twice and the hardest thing to do i pull the damn arrow out of the target. This thing hits like a hammer. Elk here I come.

Title: Re: Finally did it....2013 Hoyt Spyder 34
Post by: h20hunter on March 30, 2013, 08:41:20 AM: 70...........pulls smooth and feels like less than my previous bow.

Title: Re: Finally did it....2013 Hoyt Spyder 34
Post by: dmr400 on March 31, 2013, 06:28:26 PM: Saw a guy shooting one today on the flat range at skookum... looked very smooth and sounded whisper quiet... The girlfriend saw it and developed some serious bow envy too.

Post by: bowsandhose on April 01, 2013, 07:42:17 AM: :tup: grats on the new bow. did you chronograph it with your arrows? I just pick up my spyder on Wednesday :IBCOOL:
Title: Re: Finally did it....2013 Hoyt Spyder 34
Post by: h20hunter on April 01, 2013, 07:46:25 AM: Not yet.......I'm dialed in enough that I can do so.....how far out to you suggest the crony? 5 feet? 10 feet?
Title: Re: Finally did it....2013 Hoyt Spyder 34
Post by: D-Rock425 on April 01, 2013, 07:49:00 AM: 5 ft probably good
Title: Re: Finally did it....2013 Hoyt Spyder 34
Post by: h20hunter on April 01, 2013, 07:50:09 AM: Haven't shot my crony with a bullet yet....I'll try not to do it with an arrow.

D-Rock.....any guesses on speed?
Title: Re: Finally did it....2013 Hoyt Spyder 34
Post by: bowsandhose on April 01, 2013, 07:51:02 AM: 3 ft would be fine :chuckle:
Title: Re: Finally did it....2013 Hoyt Spyder 34
Post by: D-Rock425 on April 01, 2013, 08:10:17 AM: I'm guessing right around 290 fps
Title: Re: Finally did it....2013 Hoyt Spyder 34
Post by: D-Rock425 on April 01, 2013, 08:12:10 AM: Can't see it being much more than that.
Title: Re: Finally did it....2013 Hoyt Spyder 34
Post by: h20hunter on April 01, 2013, 04:00:02 PM: 290 shooting logs is pretty solid.....I was thinking in that fps range. Gonna have to take the crony next time out.
Title: Re: Finally did it....2013 Hoyt Spyder 34
Post by: D-Rock425 on April 02, 2013, 05:56:10 AM: I'm just guessing

Post by: Kingpuck on April 06, 2013, 10:03:43 PM: Been thinking a lot about the 2013 Hoyt Spyder 30. That is such a sweet looking bow. It runs about $1,300 right? Can't remember.

Looking at getting mine at Nock Point too. Although I am not stuck on getting a certain brand, Hoyt's do shoot smooth. Good luck and happy shooting!
Title: Re: Finally did it....2013 Hoyt Spyder 34
Post by: h20hunter on April 06, 2013, 10:11:30 PM: $960 for the bow....just gotta equip it.
Title: Re: Finally did it....2013 Hoyt Spyder 34
Post by: dkecoleman on April 06, 2013, 10:18:48 PM: The Spyder 30's are selling for $899, bare bow. I picked up one two weeks ago, I love it, so far. Congrats H20, on the new bow.

Post by: colockumelk on April 06, 2013, 11:11:15 PM: Is their a noticeable difference in forgiveness and accuracy going from a 7" BH to a 6" BH?
Title: Re: Finally did it....2013 Hoyt Spyder 34
Post by: dkecoleman on April 06, 2013, 11:23:21 PM: The forgiveness differences you see in brace height will depend alot on your draw length, For me, brace height isn't that big of a factor, my draw is only 26.5, if you have a 30 inch draw it will be more noticable, because the arrow will be on the string alot longer.

Post by: Kingpuck on April 07, 2013, 10:03:35 AM: Well, you know what they say about guys with a big draw length.

Thanks for the info. Found a place that had it for $800 also. Would like to shoot it a bit also. Have yet to do that. Been working so much lately that the gym has been the last thing on my mine.

Thanks for the info h20.
