I'm a hoyt shooter and still don't own a carbon bow.  I get a new bow just about every year.  I am just not cool enough to own a carbon bow yet I guess.

You're fortunate, D-Rock. I get a new bow whenever mine de-lams and I send it in for warrantee replacement!  :chuckle: I usually end up shooting the same equipment for 6-8 years. I really appreciate the customer service at Archery World and Hoyt when this happens (normally just weeks before the season opener). I've sent in two and they didn't even balk at shipping and replacing them.

I'm on a shop shooting staff so bows are a little cheaper for me and then I seel the previous years bow for x amount every year so from year to year it not much cash out of hand.

I am a "Hoyt guy". I bought a carbon bow because I liked the bow-functionally and aesthetically. It's no warmer to the touch than any other bow I've ever touched. My farts are nauseating. It does not shoot my hunting arrows 300 ft/sec yet strangely enough I have managed to harvest multiple animals with said carbon bow. I don't value a guy any more or less based on the bow he chooses to shoot, camo pattern he wears, or the size of the lift kit on his rig. I enjoy reading the posts of the local archery experts on Hunt WA who would have us believe that one bow manufacturer produces a product superior to all others-We all know that is not the case. It's about preference. So the next time you see a lonely archer at the end of the range shooting a carbon Hoyt go down and strike up a conversation with him or her. What you might find is a person who simply preferred that bow over others they shot. He'll they might even let you touch their bow if it's chilly outside and your hands are cold.
When you find yourself in a situation where you don't know what you're doing; do it fast.

Not sure I want to do that if their farts are nauseating.  :chuckle:  But I do agree.  Though it is fun to give the Hoyt guys a little grief.  They take it so well ;)  Good post.

I was at Grizzly Archery in Yakima and they had one in there. It was very light but just looked cheap to me and the finish was very cheap and toy like. Now I am a bowtech fan but at first look I was not impressed. But it was very light.

I think that look starts to grow on you after a while.  Especially when your painted bows start to chip and fade while your black carbon riser keeps that clean new look.  I had the same response when I got my first Carbon Tech bow.  Now it looks like a modern marvel to me. ;)  To me it looks better than gluing caps on the end of a bunch of tubes so I can mount a limb to them.

A friend of mine who absolutely loves his Hoyt Carbon Element heard me talking about the hubcaps on the end of the Hoyt carbon tubes.  He says, "What are you talking about.  My Element doesn't have those!"  Later that evening after he got home he calls me laughing.  Guess he went straight to the bow case to take a look at his pride and joy.  Sure enough his Hoyt does have the hub caps  :o  Once he stops laughing he says, "I guess I was so blinded by her incredible beauty and awesome Hoyt logo I just never noticed the badonkadonk before now."     

I think I dated a girl like that once :chuckle:

I did not find it too light, but I did feel the heavy limbs and light riser made an odd combination that felt awkward.  Can't wait for the January release!

Bowtech Experience  :tup: :tup:   Easily the best bow for 2013 IMO.  Though I still can't believe we need $1,000 bows these days.

Haven't seen the Carbon Knight yet-I ilke the Experience but that aluminum riser is going to be so cold to the touch during late season.
