Shoot em both. Put on a machine I'm sure they will shoot the same groups. I am a bit partial to bowtech tho. :chuckle: :tup:

I wonder if bowtech will make a carbon experience with all the little bells and whistles - and better cams

Rumor has it.  I have shot the carbon experience at Rock Creek it draws and shoots well but that was at 3 yards.  It only comes in black at this time.

I wouldn't buy a first generation bow. Especially from a company with bowtechs track record. I would wait to buy until any bugs/flaws show up and are fixed. Plus, you know what Bowtech has up their sleeve for 2014! :tup:

I'll take a few cosmetic splinters that dont affect the integrity of the limb if I don't need to worry about this. Don't forget safety glasses! :chuckle:

Had a BowTech Black Night when they first came out and shot it for 7 years with no problems, sold my Matthews MQ 32 for this one. Had an Admiral for a couple years, no issues. Bought a Destroyer 340 in 2010 and just sold it and had zero issues.
Just bought the Carbon Knight. First down range shots today and this bow shots sweet. Zero hand shock, I did not shoot without a stabilizer though. It shoots very much like the destroyer 340.
I am shooting a 460.4 grain Easton FMJ, 29" draw, 61lb weight and it throws these arrows at 264.7 fps

If you are in the market for a new bow then I think this bow is worth your consideration.   :twocents:

Although I have never used their customer service I have heard positive comments 99% of the time.

I am a bowtech fan even though I own a ELite Answer now and have  Hoyt Spyder for sale but I have shot the Bowtech Carbon Knight. I am not impressed. Its quality and workmanship is very poor for Bowtech. Feels like a kids bow. Just my 2 cents.
