35 years of bow hunting.I shot the knight and just like anything new It was awesome.That said shoot it for a month then shoot someone else's bow and you will realize what a piece of crap it is.Spend the extra coin and look at the difference with a Hoyt carbon bow.I even made the mistake of being suckered into buying a Carbon overdrive this year.Well I think now I'm educated after my limb broke I bought a Carbon Spyder.And as for made in USA.all the materials that are used in the riser are from overseas.Sure the assemble then here but go to the factory and go around 1130 and look who's building your bow....Looks like a peach orchard crew to me.

You have yet to produce any photo evidence of your overdrive with the broken limb.. I have an overdrive and it's perfectly fine shoots like a dream. Shot the knight they feel the same to me but everybody is different

Why do I need evidence I don't know you or care.He asked for my opinion and I gave mine.Im sorry if you don't agree.If you need evidence just Google Bowtech limb recalls. (One of the newest companies but more recalls then any manufacturer) Or Google broken bowtech 1000th to choose from.Youtube has lots of broken Bowtechs .I'm done with them I hope you have a better experience and I glad you like your bow.  TOTAL GARBAGE in my opinion.

I'm not a fan of that limb design no matter who makes it!  We had plans to get the wife into the Overdrive until we figured out you can not get a two piece quiver for it.  They shoot nice, good speed and unlike the Hoyt they are actually lighter.  And the pricing is not bad!  But no company has ever gotten that limb design to function to our standards.

We hate all single piece quivers!!!   I quit using the Bear Anarchy, a bow I really liked shooting, because of having to use that monstrositous Tight Spot quiver.  Finally this year I've said "Enough is enough. If bow companies can not find it possible to accommodate the western bowhunter I have no more use for their bows!" I do still have a few bows that will not take a two piece quiver that I use while in the blind.  However, I will never buy another for testing or for my personal use.  If that means I have to go back to shooting Hoyt in a few years so be it.  I'd rather be treated like customer two million and one with a two piece quiver option than treated like New Jersey tree stand hunter #1 and be forced to chase elk with a boat anchor mounted to the side of my bow.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."
