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

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.

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

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.

Just shot the Carbon Knight today along with the Assassin, the Mathew Heli-M, Creed, and a couple others.

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!
