#Hoyt carbon element bow review full

The limbs have more of a preload than Hoyt has offered in recent years and pairs with the cam system to help improve shooting posture and form while holding on target. LimbsThe Ultra Flex limbs and the ProLock limb pocket get a new design for 2016 as well. The carbon is warm to the touch even in cold weather, so diehard hunters braving the elements, will never have to worry about their hand getting cold from the bow, which is often an unstated benefit of an all carbon riser bow. Hoyt's popularity has also opened them up to several after market grip providers if the factory choices do not feel the best for shooters. Either way, the Hoyt grip is a nice feeling grip. Shooters can also choose to shoot straight off the riser, or add some grip tape to get the feel and thickness they desire. This grip can be easily removed with two screws (one on each side of the grip), and replaced with Hoyt side plates for a skinnier feeling grip. The Carbon Spyder FX will come from the factory with a single piece wooden grip installed. GripMany people enjoy shooting the Hoyt grip, which is unchanged for the 2016 model year. Ultimately, this puts less stress on the riser in regards to torque caused by the cables as the bow is drawn, which leads to a more accurate bow in the long run.

The system has a pivoting roller, which allows the string to creep towards the arrow shaft at full draw, while still being able to move quickly enough to get out of the way of any style of fletching. Hoyt has decided to carry over the fairly popular Zero Torque Cable Guard system. Carbon is also relatively lightweight when compared to aluminum model bows, and also has a higher strength to weight ratio, which makes it lighter and stronger than a comparable aluminum bow. Carbon itself never gets cold, even in extreme hunting conditions, so aside from its many other benefits, this is something to look forward to in a hunting rig also. RiserThe Carbon Spyder FX sports an all carbon riser in what Hoyt markets as 'Carbon done Right.' The carbon is hand rolled and the separate pieces are glued together to increase the strength and stiffness of the material itself. Any of the finishes will look sharp, but the target colors will more than likely need to be ordered since it will not be as popular of a seller when compared to the more traditional hunting colors. For shooters wanting even more customization, color kits are also available in a variety of colors including colored grip options.Those wanting target colors for their Hoyt Carbon spyder FX can choose between blue, custom black, pearl white, or red. Shooters can also choose to select between three special packages: the American Heritage package, the BoneCollector package, and the Vixcen package. A black riser combined with carbon fiber limbs or any of the camo choices is also an option. New for 2016 is Under Armor Ridge Reaper camo, which is sure to be a huge hit offering a cool, fresh looking pattern for those wanting something just a bit different. Realtree continues to be the staple pattern for Hoyt with the option for shooters to choose Realtree Xtra or Realtree Max-1. With the Spyder FX being a designed hunting bow, it is safe to say those finish options will be more popular. FinishThe Carbon Spyder FX is available in every color option Hoyt offers according to the Hoyt website.

330 feet per second is not smoking fast, but is an achievable number for this model as well, which means it packs enough punch to hunt just about anything shooters want to go after. Understandably so, a short compact hunting rig is not what all shooters are looking for, but for shooters wanting a short bow for the ease of maneuvering it tight hunting situations, the Carbon Spyder FX with a longer feel thanks to the DFX cam system may be exactly what some shooters need. With 50-pounds of draw weight range in 6 different limb configurations, and six inches of draw length adjustment, the Carbon Spyder FX is a bow that can fit just about anyone able to afford the bare bow price of $1399. The DFX cams also have the ability to be shot with dual string stops, or an optional limb stop to firm up the back wall even more than it is with the string stops. The official axel-to-axel measurement is a compact 28-inches, but with the new DFX cams and UltraFlex limb combination, the string angle is closer to last year's Carbon Spyder ZT 30 from 2015. Hoyt has created the shortest, most compact axel-to-axel carbon bow for the hunters that stay in a tree stand or ground blind for the majority of their time in the field.
