Smooth Bow real light. Quite bow, Go to a local dealer and shoot it for your self

[LCPullman]

Picked one up recently, seems like a really nice bow. 

[6haase6]

Oh I will just live two hours from anywhere that I can shoot one and was going to get your guys input in the mean time.

Seems like a pretty awesome bow but not sure about the red modules tho.

Only complaint is the grip. It's fast!

Heading to Rochester this weekend. Any shops near there that might have one for me to shoot?

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

[Bowhunter41]

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.

[Greg Mullins]

You can google broken anything on youtube. My hunting partner just got one and it seems like a good bow to me. Its light fast and just a good shooting bow. I work in a bow shop and I see alot of broken stuff and most of time its the user.Dryfire Derail enc.

[Bowhunter41]

Ya I know who you are. Im just giving my opinion. Not meaning to make a Bowtech bash .

Mine shoots great!!!   I love it!!! 

Ford, Dodge, Chevy!!! It goes on and on and on..

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.

Come on back radsav

I am far from an expert on bow construction. All I can say is I own a couple and I  have owned this one for about 6 months now. I like it. It has not blown up in my hands and it shoots great for me. It is lighter than anything I have owned in the past and as I said it shoots great for me. As several have stated the grip is awkward if you are not use to it. Isn't that the case for all bows? I am now use to the grip and as I stated earlier it shoots great for me. Getting the drift? I shoot a lot and everyone I shoot with has had all the other brands. I personally have never had a bow fail on me, but I have seen a Hoyt, two Mathews, Martin and an Elite fail. All due to operator error. It's like I tell everyone that asks,  don't ask me what bow to buy, go shoot them and get what feels comfortable to you. They are all great and all suck depending on the stooge you talk too.

Radsav is coming back into the light!!

Actually that would be the darkness.  It's cold and you move slow in the darkness.  Isn't that Hoyt's business model? 

Don't get too excited boys.  Bowtech is still making the Experience and my two piece quivers fit that just fine!  They might not treat me like customer #1, but they don't treat me like the inconvenient pile of poop #2,000,001 either. 

Sims is making some good strides with the new Proton too!  If you haven't tried the new grip, you should.  It's very nice!  And Steve treats me like a brother

Maybe Phelps, Alwine and I can gang up on the new Martin folks and get a two piece quiver mount added to the Alien and Nemesis.  That would be pretty dang sweet too!

And who knows...if it comes down to it I might just start making bows myself instead of going back to a company that doesn't care about bubba turd RadSav. 

There are plenty of options to exhaust before I go back to Hoyt...But it could happen

Just shot the Carbon Knight today along with the Assassin, the Mathew Heli-M, Creed, and a couple others.
The carbon knight was my favorite. Smokin fast, super light, way quieter than the assassin and nearly half the price of the Mathews.
That said both the Mathews Creed and Heli-m we great, and close competitors, but at $400+ price increase they needed to bring more to the table. The Creed had an odd resonance after the shot, the Heli-m was nearly perfect, but the Knight was A little quicker, noticeably lighter, and a little quieter. The back wall was also very solid, draw back and bam.. you're there, and not going any further.

The only con on the knight was that it sat still or even rocked back a little in my hand after the shot (instead of tipping forward) But I was shooting without a stabilizer or sight, once those are hanging off the front, I suspect it would be a non issue. 

Just my opinion, well worth what you paid for it.

Thanks guys really appreciate the info. Still have yet to shoot one. One of the wonders of living in the middle of nowhere.

Other bows in that price range that compare IMO are the PSE Drive, Mission Ballistic, Martin Lithium, Hoyt Charger and the Bear Method.  There is a bunker crop of absolutely great bows in that $500-600 range.  Nothing that compares in carry weight to the Carbon Knight, but some that beat up on it in regards to performance and features.  I like all six mentioned and would gladly use any one of them for hunting.  It would be a hard decision choosing one over another!
