Hoyt TurboHawk Review

bought used as as replacement for my 2002 cybertec. with whisker bisket was shooting 293 fps put a dropaway rest on it now at 304 fps shes smokin. great bow. been Hoyt for 24 years now, and shot more deer with them then I can count from 8 yards out to 45 yards with complete confidence. plus the use of one pin out to 30 yards is nice.

I love my Turbohawk. I bought it 2nd or 3rd hand, and it is still a great bow by almost any metric. They're really affordable on the used market, but still hold their own.

The XTR cams are lovely and fast, but be sure to buy the correct cam and mods for you.

A dialed in and tuned Turbohawk will deliver arrows with zero drama, shot after shot. That's really the highest praise of all. You can certainly buy better these days, but it won't be much better and you will have to pay for it.

I'm a beginner to archery. This was my very first bow and when I purchased it I went to the range immediately. My first thoughts were how intimated I was about archery. But after having it inspected and tuned I went for my first shot. From 10 yards I hit inside the yellow. Great first experience with this bow. I shoot 60 lbs left handed with an arrow of 390 grains. The pro shop tested the speed of my arrows going 280 fps.I have been able to hit the target from 80 yards which is more than enough for any hunter. I highly recommend this bow for anyone looking to get into archery or who want to upgrade their existing one.

This bow is sweet, it is so smooth and hard hitting. It has almost no vibration with all the bells and whistles. When I first shot this bow I couldn't believe I wasn't shooting a 1000$ bow. If you're thinking about getting this bow do it, you won't regret it.

I love the weight and ability to stay silent with deer at less than 15 yards In my first season, first outing with this bow I landed a clean kill on a nice ease at nearly 63 yards from the ground. I have found that a slightly heavier arrow than would be standard with my setup seems to throw more cleanly and true. I would recommend this bow to everybody and anybody!! I'm still amazed at the price for this weapon! I have since purchased 2 additional identical bows for less than $450 combined off of this Internet second hand. One for my 13 year old friend who mirrors my sentiments in respect to it being the greatest bow he ever owned.
I hope to bring home at least 2 does this season with my TurboHawk, and given any clear shot opportunity within 70 yards, will undoubtedly do so!!!

This is just an awesome bow, at any price. I like the barebones basics of this bow. It has the speed of a speed bow with the brace height of a target bow. I've got a fall away rest on mine and shoot Easton XX78 2314's out of it at 68 lbs. IMO, this is the best combo for bow and arrow for deer hunting. The bow is so quiet with those heavy arrows. I can't say enough about the Turbo Hawk. I'll have mine for a while.

This is my 5th Hoyt, with each one I wonder how they can get better and yet everyone is. The turbohawk is under priced for the amount of bow you get. The speed is great, and the bow is smooth. The valley is adjustable. Even though there isn't a rear mount for a string stop, there are enough after market side or front mounting stoppers that work great and look pretty good to. I bought this bow on closeout after testing out the PSE Brute X, Bear Assult and Mauler. The Hoyt gave me more consistent and tighter groups at 35, 40, and 50 yards.
I now have it set up with a string stopper, Extreme Raptor sight, G5 headloc 6 quiver, Nap Apache drop away rest, g5 3/16" peep sight, 5" Nap Apache stabilizer. I also tried out the Hoyt Rampage XT, both bows next to each other I couldn't tell the difference other then the Ramapage was $200.00 more and had a rear string stopper. Both are great bows and I wouldn't pass up either one. The Rampage XT was being sold for $600.00 and compaired to others bows in it's price range, it was far better. Then again it is a Hoyt.

This bow is great for the average hunter like me. I get about 10-15 sits a year and shoot throughout the off season and this bow fits the bill perfectly. It gets you up near the high end bows but stays at a reasonable price for the quality you are receiving. This bow will be with me in the stand for years to come!

I like the length and weight. I do not like the valley. I like the appearance.I do not like the magnesium riser. I like the price. I shoot 29" draw at 70lbs. wiskerbuisket, trueglow Halograghic sight. I have shot deer and 3-d targets with this set up. If I could get a better feel in the vally I would consider keeping the bow.

It will go to 64#(we checked), and 29", so he can continue to grow with it. A
s I age am looking to downgrade from 29", 70#, so when he outgrows it will work for me.
Great design and value!
As with my other Hoyt products, will use for many years to come.
All specs are real; weight, speeds, adjustability.

I have my bow set at 63 pounds with 100 grain tips and i'm shooting 283fps, not bad if you ask me. i'm pushing the 300's when it's cranked up to 70 and little to no vibration also.. My pins have a perfect 1/16' spread from 20-80 yards. i've shot out to 100 yards by using my pins as my gauge and it's still dead on at that distance.. OVERALL EXCELLENT BOW!!

Makes for a very good shoot, easy to set up, light and durable. Makes for great hunting. The size makes it easy to use for a tree stand. For the money it just doesn't get better than the turbo hawk. Well done Hoyt! I was very impressed.

Im very satisfied with the purchase of this bow. My groups are consistent, the bow feels great and looks good and it's just a pleasure to shoot. Hoyt Turbo Hawk, whisker buisquet, bone collector stabilizer, tru glow sight and quiver, fuse release,bow hunter arrows.

Feels great in my hand, shoots really flat and fast (IBO 320 fps). I'm shooting 30" draw and 61 lbs with my arrows I'm shooting about 290 fps. The price is very reasonable also. It's not the cheapest bow on the market but it'll last you a life time so you will get more than your money's worth out of it.
