The string suppressor was slightly off center and was contacting the string with a little pressure. Arrow flight seemed excellent, but I paper tuned anyway and with a few quick adjustments was shooting bullet holes with an unfletched arrow. For centershot I eyeballed the arrow to line it up with the string and the center of the grip. I tuned the bow by setting the arrow perpendicular to the string and aligning it with the Berger hole. Hoyt does offer custom color grips, AirShox, and Stealth Shot string suppressors for shooters who like the custom look.Īmong several tried-and-true Hoyt features making an encore on the Spyder bows are Hoyt’s offset stabilizer mount, the Stealth Shot string suppressor, the Silent Shelf, and the Inline Roller Guard. Noticeably missing from Hoyt’s 2013 offerings are the bright red cam modules, roller guides, and other trim features. With regard to appearance, Hoyt is known for bows with excellent fit and finish, and the Spyders are no exception. The laminated wood adds some glamour to the Spyder’s appearance whether or not it is preferable to the softer, warmer molded rubber is largely a matter of personal preference. They can be easily removed with a hex wrench, should any shooter find them objectionable.įurther distinguishing the Spyder bows from the Vector series is the wood grip, as opposed to a molded rubber grip. At the shot, the limbs recoil against the AirShox as they return to their starting position. As the bow is drawn and the limbs compress, they actually draw away from the AirShox. Replacing Hoyt’s AlphaShox, which were sandwiched between the limbs, the AirShox extend back from the limb pockets on a machined aluminum tongue, contacting the outside of the limbs only. In the case of the Spyder 30, modules are specific for 24.5 to 26 inches, 26 to 28 inches, and 28 to 30 inches.īrand new on the Spyder bows (as well as on Hoy’s 2013 carbon riser bows) is the somewhat controversial AirShox limb damping system. To maximize performance, the cams are sized to fit different draw lengths. A proven synchronized cam system, the clearest difference between these cams and those found on the carbon riser bows is that the Spyder’s RKT cams are larger, resulting in a slightly smoother draw cycle that generates the same speeds as the originals. The Spyder bows sport Hoyt’s famous RKT cam & 1/2 system, though slightly modified. At 30 inches axle-to-axle, it’s also Hoyt’s most compact bow to date. The weight is particularly noticeable in the Spyder 30 which, at 3.8 pounds, is equal to that of Hoyt’s carbon riser bows. (The Vector 32 remains in the 2013 line-up, while the other two bows in the series have been discontinued.) The distinctive if not quite unique bridged riser helps identify the Spyder bows as Hoyts, but the Spyders achieve some savings in weight by shaving metal off the aluminum riser to give these bows a lighter appearance, not to mention feel. Hoyt’s Spyder series, including the Spyder 30, Spyder 34, and Spyder Turbo appear to be natural successors to Hoyt’s Vector series of bows.
