2014 Hoyt Carbon Spyder

[bern0134]

Went to my local bow shop to check out the new Hoyt Carbon Spyder. I was hoping they had the Turbo version or a 34 but the 30 I drew was great. Anybody else had the opportunity to shoot one as well?

I did. I'm a newbie to archery but hooked on elk now so I'm in. I couldn't see the advantages being worth the money. I loved how it shot but 500 more than aluminum to shave a few ounces? I just can't see it.

yea I definitely agree with you on that. Probably once everyone gets on board making carbon bows then the prices will drop.

The biggest seller in my opinion for a carbon bow is that it doesn't get cold to the touch like metal or wood does. Still not worth the price for me either but I think that is more important, along with carbon being stronger.

Which one is the best if i don't consider price the metal or the wood

The wood Hoyt is the best!

I shot the 34 with the #2 cam the other day...Its on order! It's replacing my sypder 30.

I'm still waiting for the turbo to come in. I might just go with the 30

shot the carbon spyder today. That thing is absolutely money! Then I shot the faktor and thought why would anyone pay $500 more for a carbon spyder when the differences were barely recognizable to me. Granted I'm not a bow expert by any stretch, just my 2 cents.

I'm in the same boat as you are, had a CS 30 on order and then canceled because I wanted to shoot the CST and compare. Problem is there's not a CST to be found within 200 miles and my patience is starting to fade a bit. Trying to resist reordering the CS 30
