Title: Bowtech Carbon Knight vs. Carbon overdrive?
Post by: gutsnthegrass on July 16, 2015, 07:44:58 AM: I shot the overdrive last night and was pretty impressed. I have always shot Hoyt but this one has me thinking about getting a new bow. Is it worth the $300 extra or is the Carbon Knight just as good?

GREAT guy and he will take care of you and have you stacking arrows in no time. I was up there a year ago and was pretty sure he had Knights in stock, but again that was year and many beers ago....

If not what is your draw length/weight? Mine is set 30.5"@60# draw and I could always adjust for your length to let you shoot it a bit and get a feel for it..
