There is a Hoyt Vector Turbo listed in the classifieds. Has anyone shot one or have any knowledge of this bow? I know this was Hoyt's flagship speed bow in 2012. The draw length of the bow is set for my draw length. The limbs are 30-40 pound limbs. The bow is fully rigged out for competition? How would this bow do for indoor spot competition? Which arrow would you maybe use for this bow? Would the Easton Superdrive arrow work? Thanks Ken

It is listed on page 6 of the classifieds. I do have a Hoyt Freestyle with 40-50 pound limbs. The limbs are set on 42 pounds. The only thing I don't like about the freestyle is that it is not drilled and tapped for a set of back bars. Maybe I could put a recurve stabilizer mount on it. Then I could maybe have a set of back bars on it. I already sent the seller a pm with questions and my phone number. We shall see if he calls me back.

Any Turbo will not be a very good bow for indoor spots. You longer A2A and, if possible, brace.

I owned one when they first came out and shot it for an entire indoor season and sometimes wish I would have never sold it.
It is a speed bow but not like some out there with a terrible draw cycle.

Well after speaking with Hoyt customer service, I decided that this bow will not be my best choice. I will just setup my Hoyt Freestyle for a backup indoor spot bow. Thanks for everyone's input. Ken

Been tempted by that very bow myself, but I filled that gap with a Spyder Turbo. Had a VT for targets way back in about 2013 and spent a whole summer season shooting 2315 aluminium arrows at 100yds with it.

Will a VT be as easy to shoot the scores as a big 40" ATA 8" BH indoor juggernaut? Bluntly, no. But the old RKT cams were some of the best drawing cams in recent years, the bow holds well (there's a little torque from the roller guard, but if you're not looking for it then it's not a problem) and it's a whole bunch of fun to shoot.

Ultimately the difference in accuracy at 20yds is likely to be how much you cut the line by rather than whether you reach it IMO and with a VT you could have a lot of fun doing it. Better wall than the GTX cams of a Freestyle too and how many others are you going to see on the line?

I had a Vector35 and loved it. Sold it cause the limbs kept splintering though.
