    Some nice looking bows, happy with my faktor after a lot of tuning.
    Kind of irritated that they made an attempt to fix the torque issue of the cable guard that if you asked them last year it they said it wasn't an issue.

    Did you have an issue tuning your? I heard that the arrow had to be just above the berger hole, but mine tuned up real easy. Just stuff I have read...so not really sure. I like the flex roller. I think I'm gonna pick up one of the new Carbon Spyder ZT's this spring. I love my Faktor 30 though, can't part with it.

    Yeah after I saw the picture he posted I could tell it was a photo shop. The z6 cam doesn't exist and the 4 legged air shox again is not a feature.

    I've got the CST and I love it. on my list of items "pretty" isn't in the top 1000 so I'm not worried about a "fugly" bow. I asked my wife, she would let it factor in but I can understand that. Between my Spyder Turbo and my ChillR I think they're both about perfect, doesn't look like the new hoyt will make me change my mine out, I'll avoid shooting it as the temptation might get me.

    Had a constant left tear and broad heads right , no matter what I did to it. Had to yoke tune it with a lot of pre lean. Enough that it makes me uncomfortable to look at it.
    It shoots ok now, but I almost sold it off.

    Switch over to Hoyt and I'll be on the show! Otherwise I can't bring myself to send an entry because I would have to shoot mathews.

    I bought a 2014 Hoyt Carbon Spyder Turbo a few weeks ago. I really like the looks of it over anything else on the market.

    I'm one of those folks... I just can't get over that look. I'm sure it's a very nice bow!

    Looks like I might have to end up selling my Katera... Loving the new Nitrum! What I know about it so far at least, haha.

    Don't sell it, just put it in the back up.
    If I could have found a 29 inch can I would have kept mine. Loved that bow even though it was too short.
    Just keep it and get the other, you'll regret not having it. I know I do.

    I had a bow once that had the cable guard flex in at full draw (G5 Prime). I'm sure it makes a difference, but after shooting it and since then switching to Hoyt, I don't know that there is a noticeable difference to me.

    Sure I definitely will but I've owned 3 hoyts. Loved every single one. They are great bows and they fixed the only qualms I've had with them. The fixed roller guard. And they made a better designed riser. After thinking about it I will most likely end up with the nitrum 34. I've owned an aluminum spyder 34 and now a faktor turbo. The nitrum has the same cams as my turbo and I love my 34. I can't see how I wont like the bow.
