Just got my carbon Spyder 34 down to 5lb 11oz with an 8” bstinger stab with 3 weights installed, spot hogg hunter, QAD hdx and 2 piece hoyt solo quiver.
I know a heavier bow can be steadier on target, but I have had pinched nerves in both shoulders so a lighter bow works best for me. Plus its nice while putting on the miles in the mountains. :tup:

haha. i haven't weighed the 'new' bow but when i went from my starter diamond outlaw to my bowtech realm x, it was a SIGNIFICANT increase in weight.. but.
with the increased weight (for me at least) came increased accuracy and an overall steadier shot...
people really seem to get jacked up about light weight guns and bows, but shoot....sometimes lighter isnt always better.

22.4 oz. pulls 55lbs and only took me a week or so to make. Haha I feel everyone should learn to have fun building and shooting one of these!
Nice! The snakeskin? is a nice touch.

Unless I'm out of state the rifle stays in the safe for elk..has for the last few years..not sure how much bowtech weighs but it's way less than my rifle...for the sake of your poll i will try and weigh it this weekend.
