Placed an order through North Pro Sports for a Nitrum. Any one have experience with wait times From Hoyt?

I was told it could be up to 6 weeks if the main hoyt importer for Canada, Monsons doesn't have it. If you ordered a harvest brown one it will likely be the long wait. Just what I was told.

yes it was a harvest brown. So far its been 8 weeks.

Oh, wow! That's a long time. Maybe I won't order a harvest brown one! I'm going to order a nitrum turbo right a way I think. They're pretty nice!

They have a couple...err had....one was on the rack a whole 20mins before it sold, a harvest brown Carbon Element I think.

They haven't got in a harvest brown nitrum turbo yet...of they did I know who would be down from Whitecourt as soon as it hit the door

Stopped at North Pro Sports this morning. Kevin called and found out it was in Toronto and would be here end of the week. 8 weeks +/- I had my dates wrong. Seems Hoyt makes the bows and then for the Harvest Brown color they are sent to California for anodizing. I'm happy now.......

In the states its 4 to 6 weeks but for Canada add a few to that, the harvest brown in the carbon bows are just paint also, not near as nice looking as the anodized risers.

Hoyt$ just went up another $100! Exchange is killer.

I sure hope you shoot one prior to buying. Also hope your shoulder is in good shape prior to shooting that bow.They got a terrible Cam on the TURBO.

I bought the Nitrum with the Z5 cam and now thats a sweet shooting bow

No worries! I have! Shot the crap out of them last week, lol. I've Been shooting bowtech overdrive cams since they came out, so I find the turbo cams no big deal. The z5 cams on my pro edge elite are smooth and blah blah, but for a hunting bow I really want performance.

I can't imagine anyone not shooting the model of the bow before they buy it......what good could come from that?

I dont think it was a turbo but just a regular nitirum...at least I am 95% sure as i picked it up and Mike joked with me that its Cameron Hanes bow.....I dont know maybe it was a faktor now Im second guessing myself...one thing is forsure it was a pretty cool color.

The anodized finish and colours look way better than the Carbon ones....the burnt orange looks awesome too.

The Carbon spyder turbo I tried out was in harvest brown and it was really nice. I preferred the feel I the nitrum after the shot a little more. Both finishes were nicely done from what I could see.

45-90scout · #15 04-03-2015, 01:07 AM

My Nitrum is the HB 34 with carbon limbs. Didnt need to go turbo. 50-60 draw - should be exciting. Now if I only knew when my Hogg Father arrives........

Mike_W · #16 04-12-2015, 09:27 AM

FYI I double checked and Jimbows Edmonton deffidently has a Hoyt Nitrium in harvest brown.

45-90scout · #17 04-12-2015, 10:27 AM

It arrived last week at North Pro Sports.

WOW! The Harvest Brown almost has a two tone effect with all the bends, yet isn't reflective with its matt finish. Darker than what you see in the catalogues and net.

Definitely worth the wait.

Now when my Hogg Father arrives will post some pics in the woods to see how it blends in.........

My dads bow this year is the carbon spyder turbo in harvest brown with realtree xtra camo limbs, they are nice that's for sure.
