Well I'm about to head out to a couple shops with 2 bows in mind to buy the mathews no cam htr or the hoyt nitrum turbo I'm leaning more towards the hoyt even though I'm a mathews guy it seems mathews hasn't done anything to make a jump in the industry and the no cam is kinda ugly I like all the technology in the nitrum turbo if you have any thoughts I'd be glad to hear them thanx.
I'm not a speed bow fan, however if I was in the market for one the NT would be near the top of the list...considering what it is its a pretty nice bow
Here is my No cam, HHA optimizer ultra xl, k tech stabilizer, Schaffer Opposition lite rest, 65lb, 28" draw, 85% rock mods.
This is my NO Cam HTR in its finished setup. The other bow that I really liked was the Hoyt Carbon Spyder ZT. The Hoyts nontradional riser and its light weight were pretty cool. The HTR shot better in IMO though.
Only in that it's different from Hoyts Carbon fibre offerings, especially in how they feel and how much shot noise it's makes.
Oh ok. The way you had it in you first post it was like you thought they were the only ones making aluminum risers.
I really liked the Nitrum Turbo, but it was not nearly as dead in the hand or as smooth as the HTR is. The CS ZT on the other hand is super smooth and dead in the hand. I ended up with the HTR personally. Directly after the shot on the NT it felt as if holding a tuning fork, and that was a fully setup bow.
I've shot them side by side and I preferred the No Cam when shooting. However, I would actually buy the Nitrum, it's almost as dead in the hand, I didn't shoot one with any kind of post shot harmonic to it, but it's not as quiet as the No Cam. The Nitrum just seems to be a better length and shape for a hunting bow, not that the HTR is bad. It's not. It's just very tall feeling in the hand and feels much longer than it actually is. The Hoyt doesn't. The HTR is smooooth to draw, much smoother than a Nitrum esp the turbo version. The Nitrum is smooth enough for a hunting bow and better than most. I just can't get past the riser height on the HTR, it's just not my thing. It's not like you can make a mistake buying either of them. At that price point you can't buy a bad bow, just one that's not suited to you.
I agree with GAshooter that at $1K or more any of the offerings from the major compound bow manufacturers are all really good. It just comes down to personal choice as to which one works better for you. Axle lengths, brace heights, and arrow speeds(FPS) are very close, and enough to harvest most animals here in North America. Just my $0.02.
Yeah I'm curious as to why you picked those two bows. It seems that they are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
