MSRP is considerable less at $849 



anyone shooting the bowtech carbon knight?


KFhunter needs a new bow after this season

[Button Nubbs]

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

[KFhunter]

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

[Button Nubbs]

I'm sure its in the works.

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.

BOWTECH!!!

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!

I was shooting the other day and started talking to a guy that was sighting in his bowtech carbon after chatting he told me that the first one he had broke right in the center of the riser!!! so he was sighting in the replacement bow!! I will stick to my Hoyt no way would I own the BowWreck after hearing that....

  If that happened to me I'd never shoot it again! I'd get the replacement, sell it, and buy a Hoyt!

Just don't bump those Hoyt limbs... They'll splinter...

[Jellymon]

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!

  got me there.

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.   

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.
