Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

The price on the Carbon Spyder ZT Turbo is the negative of this bow. Truth be told, everything else about this bow screams shootability and performance, which is a tough combination to accomplish in the same package. The stronger carbon riser, an updated cam, and every technology Hoyt has available makes this bow a dream to shoot. For those not concerned about the sticker shock, the Hoyt Carbon Spyder ZT Turbo will not disappoint in any style of shooting. Read full review...

Hoyt is finally offering a third style bow in the carbon riser series. In the past, Hoyt has stuck with a longer version and a shorter model, but never the Turbo. The long awaited addition of a speed bow in the carbon riser series is something never seen before. The only way to experience the performance is to give the bow a shot. It is hard to find anything wrong with this bow as a multipurpose shooter. The downside is the huge price tag, which is going to be way over budget for many shooters. Those not worried about price, and simply looking for the best shooting bow, will love what the Hoyt Carbon Spyder Turbo preforms and feels like. The final decision whether or not the bow is worth the money lies with each individual shooter. Read full review...
