I just shot the CPX and Experience side-by-side. It'd take the Experience over the CPX in a heartbeat. The draw cycle and shot of the Experience is awesome. Unless, 20 ftp more is a must I'd give the Experience a serious look. I know, I am.
:tup:
I've spent a good bit of time with both. At 28.5" draw length it's night and day for me - Experience is my choice! Smoother at draw and smoother at the shot, much more stable at full draw and throughout the shot. Plus, with a five arrow quiver attached the riser configuration of the Experience gives an improved line of follow thru without the use of a heavy and bulky stabilizer. If you use a rangefinder 20 fps means absolutely nothing. However, if you are a short draw archer the trade off might be worth it. At 27.5" and shorter you might find the CPX a nice balance between shootability, speed and better arrow choices.

Yup, all true RadSav. How do I know? I just bought an Experience! :IBCOOL: Now, I need to find a new home for my Spyder Turbo. :chuckle:
Keep it, you will be back. :chuckle:

The draw is not as smooth as my old Bowtech Pro 40 but I'm shooting great out to 80 yards.

Love my new Bowtech CPXL.
The draw is not as smooth as my old Bowtech Pro 40 but I'm shooting great out to 80 yards.
That kind of speed jump always comes at some cost. Though I expect the smoothness at the shot has improved over the Pro 40.

WHAT!!!! MTBIKER, You already got rid of the Hoyt and coming back to Bowtech, not sure if we should let you back into the fold, once a trader always a trader. LOL
Haha! Oh, the story gets even better. Give Ryan a call. LMAO!!!! Anyway, call me the Prodigal Son. :chuckle:
Hey, the Spyder Turbo is a great bow. One of the best draw cycles for its speed, IMO. I just struggled to find the sweet spot with the grip. Started out with the full grip, then went to side plates. Then finally went to a bare riser, which was the best, but still I felt like my hand wasn't at full peace with it. Also, the 6" brace probably wasn't helping the situation, either. I felt that every shot had to be an 'A' game shot (I'm referring to my form). For me it was either a dead nuts shot or a real flyer And I know what it means and feels like to be consistent.

CPXL is shorter axle to axle, wall is not as smooth and stable, but much faster.
I shoot a heavier arrow, 500 grains and a 125 gr Helix arrow head. So at longer ranges, I shoot flatter now.
I'm getting used to my new setup but loving it thus far.
Going for antelope, whitetails and elk this season here in Colorado.
Would love to hunt up in WA one day. Beautiful country.

@radsav - Pro 40 is 38 in axle to axle and very forgiving.
38"...so you had the Wheely! Don't know many that had that model. 312 fps was pretty good back then ;) Especially for 27.25" brace. Hope you kept it. They were neat bows.
