    I have had the old Hoyt 200 for about 13 years could not have been more happy with but am finally going to upgrade. I went to bow shot yesterday and looked at the carbon and the aluminum Hoyt's just wanted anyone's pros or cons with any of the new 2015 bows. Thanks

    I've not shot them yet. All I can contribute is to say I've had a carbon element since last year and have been really happy with it. I like the improvement they made to the 2015 cable guard. I'm not sure how the new ones could not be better than the old ones, they are pretty awesome bows.

    I've shot the new Carbon 30, the new Turbo and the Nitrus... All great bows. I preferred the draw cycle with the Z5 cam in the new Carbon 30 and Nitrus but the Turbo shot good too. I actually shot them through the chrono and I don't think there was enough of a difference in the speed vs. the feel to go with the Turbo - but that's just my thoughts...

    I went and shot both the Nitrum 30 and CS 30 ZT. I think I'll be keeping my Faktor 30 for a while longer. Like it much better. I put my stabilizer on the Nitrum, they had a QAD HDX on the demo bow and it was set up pretty decent. " Me Personally" I don't care for the looks of the riser on the Nitrum, Sure some will though. Just didn't seem to balance as good to me as the Spyder 30 and My Faktor 30. Seemed to have a little bit of Vibration, but nothing major. My Faktor feels much better to me.

    Yep, I really like the Carbon Spyder 30 ZT. The flex roller guard was nice....but seemed to have some noise to it. The Element and 2014 CS didn't have that noise. maybe it was just me...lol.

    Love my Carbon Spyder 34, and i'm sure the ZT is only better with the new flex roller, looks like a slick design. Can't wait to get my hands on a Nitrum 34 in harvest brown

    I picked my Spyder 30 last Wednesday. I love the bow, very smooth and quiet. I traded in my CRX for it. Just need a light hold on the grip and you'll love it.

    i have last years model which i'm plenty happy with. i can't see "trading up" for a new roller guard/limb silencers though.

    I haven't shot the '15 Hoyt's yet. I'm sure they are pretty nice. I am still in love with my 2012 carbon element. She's good for a few more seasons
