    I'm thinking I'll look at the carbon spyder turbo next time I'm in the shop! Can a person ever have too many bows? lol

    I have the spyder turbo and absolutely love it. I think the Hoyts are the best bows on the market. The new Carbon Spyder and the Faktor are awesome looking but also have some new technology. If I were to buy a new bow this year it would be the Carbon Spyder or the Faktor Turbo.

    Hoyt definitely did it right. It was about time that they came out with a bow that has a wide degree of adjustments in the Ignite. Carbon Spyder and Faktor are sick too.

    Gunna look at the carbon spyder turbo, i was always hoping that hoyt would come out with a carbon turbo edition with a bit longer ata. And to me the matrix was too long. The 33" ata i think would be perfect, pretty slick looking bow also! I love my 2012 carbon element rkt and im not looking to replace it, but since i sold my back up bow ( alpha max 32 )and i got all the accesories to complete another setup, im actually considering the carbon spyder turbo. I would not let the rkt collect dust somewhere, its to sweet of a bow for that, thats for sure. Id use both bows, have one set up for treestand hunting the other for the mountains :tu:

    Sounds like a plan! I havebeen thinking Hoyt would come out with a carbon version of the spyder turbo just because the other companies like PSE and Bowtech are starting to run away with the market with speed bows and the gap was getting way to wide. The ones I've shot sure weren't as comfortable as a Hoyt or Mathews but speed sells bows these days.

    I would love to shoot the new carbon spyder! Hoyt is really coming out with some good stuff it looks like, the proof is in the pudding as they say! I am sure they will all be awesome though!

    To be honest I'm not all that impressed as far as any technology leap is concerned. I wasn't a huge fan of the Spyder, they were kinda hit or miss. The new line just looks a little more flashy than last years bows. With that being said I would be all over either one of these if I wasn't already in deep doo doo with the old lady. The Carbon Spyder is eye candy and I'm really interested in the Faktor. The things I would do for one of those Pro Edge Elites...

    They are built like tanks, most in the industry agree. Look at their dry fire test. Or look what they do to the carbon bows.

    They are as advertised. No inflated numbers in speed and such.


    Consistently at the top of the target world, world wide. They make very shootable bows.

    That's fine but they are years ahead of anyone else at the moment with their carbon lineup. Like them or not but there really is no one even close to what they are doing with the carbon risers.

    That's fine, no worries...I just thought that answer pretty much covered it all. About any good quality you hear people talking about and crediting to their preferred brand of bow pretty much applies to Hoyt's equipment. I've never shot a bad Hoyt or a bad Mathews for that matter. I have shot some poor bows of other companies over the years though.

    I've just always found Hoyts to be top notch and well rounded bows.

    Bows are like cars and trucks some like fords some like Chevys bottom line is what brand you choose in a bow is personnel preference that's what makes our sport awesome your bow is set up for you and you only unlike a rifle
