 I wouldn't buy any new first generation bow from bowtech, or any manufacturer, some of the best bows on the market but their track record isn't the greatest. I would wait a year for any issues that might come up. Even Hoyt's first gen carbons had issues. $750 is a lot of money to spend on an unproven product. 3.2lbs is pretty impressive though. Looks like my old destroyer 340.

I don't know, that's just the price floating around the Internet.

Makes me laugh!  Hoyt management is probably poopin' hot rocks about now :chuckle:  I'm sort of glad they had to take the extra time for it's release.  We may not have gotten the fabulous Experience had it been ready on time.  5oz lighter than the Martin Alien X4, wow!  Will be interesting to see the new Bianary cam and how much lean it has.

MSRP is $849.  Bowtech has been pretty strict about that.  A dealer could get in some hot water if he sells it for $750.  And, I don't know why a dealer would want to.  It's already around $500 less than a Hoyt :o

Just imagine what you are going to see at the 2014 ATA show...


You can probably guess, can't you?

I checked Hoyt's social media updates yesterday and everything was centered around their carbon line. The overall weight of the bare bow is actually what will probably prevent me from purchasing one although I know it's going to be a huge draw for most. I like a bow with a lil weight ;) .

Wonder why they did not use the Center Pivot design?
However, I love the looks of it!

Theyre probably saving that for their 2014 flagship. The knight is probably a test bow to see if any problems arise from the new material/design before putting out the bow with all the goodies on it(OD cams, flexguard, center pivot)
