Title: Hoyt RECEIVED. PICS ADDED
Post by: xXLojackXx on February 05, 2014, 03:04:59 PM
Placed my order today for my Hoyt carbon spyder turbo  :) went with the all black riser, 80lb limbs and 29" draw. Should be pushing my 440gr arrows around 310fps. So pumped and can't wait to get my hands on it and report back with more details  :tup:

Lol I knew D Rock and Radsav would have conflicting comments. They must have removed the "kinks" from the one I tested, I couldn't believe it wasn't butter  :drool:

Oh NO!  Even my best field tester is now brainwashed by that logo :chuckle:


 xXLojackXx... I'm happy to see your excitement in finding a bow you like.  I was sincere about liking your decision to get the black riser.  My favorite bows all have black risers these days!  Also sincere about hoping to see some great success pics this coming fall.  I hope it is exactly what you are looking for!

Did you buy from Bob's?  I talked with a guy there a few years ago who said he has killed six P&Y bulls all with shots over 160 yards.  I asked, "What rangefinder do you use?"  He told me he doesn't use a rangefinder.  Says he doesn't need one cause it's all about the relationship between the bow and the ground! ;)  I just responded with, "Wow!  That's fantastic!" and walked away   :rolleyes:  Sounds like maybe he was your salesman on that ugly 185 yard big bull killer  :chuckle:

Sounds like you and I went to the same finishing school, Rad. It's where we were taught to say "fantastic" instead of "BS!"

No I ordered from the Bow Rack in Oregon. It was either them or Spokane valley (they're the same distance driving) so I decided on the Bow Rack to save the tax. Plus I've had good luck with them before.

I dont think he has ordered a new bow yet. And he was leaning towards the Bowtech Carbon Knight last i heard.

I bought the Hype and just sold the bow. My Helim was lighter on the hunting set up and just as fast and a smoother pull. This is just me.  :yike: Sold 2014 Hoyt Carbon Spyder Turbo #3 cams Z5 28/72.7 maxed out. Black and Carbon.

I need a 80# bow.

I was shooting 72 before and jumped up to 80. This bow just happens to max out at 84.12 lbs. The draw cycle is nice and the let off feels easier than my Mathews at 72lbs.  I shoot this bow better at 84 than my Z7 at 72. 

From 20-50 yards my arrow drops about 6".  :tup:

Just a joke D  :tup:

It would be impressive to see an animal struck with a 440 grain arrow at 300 FPS   :yike:

It wouldn't be from my bow but that is pretty cool  :tup:

Elk are stinky enough as it is
Title: Re: Hoyt RECEIVED. PICS ADDED
Post by: TheHunt on March 17, 2014, 11:14:01 AM
Last time I looked (I COULD BE WRONG)

6 Grains X 84 lbs = 504 grains.  Therefore, your arrow has to be 504 grains or more to be legal arrow weight in Washington. 

If I am wrong someone will post it up. 

That is why I jump to 72 lbs because of that rule.

Post by: TheHunt on March 17, 2014, 11:18:46 AM
If you get a chance shoot an Easton ACC out of that bow at 84 lbs.  I bet you will be swinging hard at 320 - 325 FPS. 

That 6" drop will be at 3"
Title: Re: Hoyt RECEIVED. PICS ADDED
Post by: RadSav on March 17, 2014, 11:31:53 AM
I shoot this bow better at 84 than my Z7 at 72.

One of the reasons I would give up bowhunting if I was forced to shoot a Z7.  I'd keep bowhunting if forced to use a twisted car wreck with hubcaps though.  But, my 84# days are long, long gone!  With todays performance bows I've actually been thinking of dropping down to 55#.  Just like my target bows.

I wasn't there for that part of it thankfully.  It was a follow up shot and not the first arrow in the animal.
