Shoot the Hoyt carbon spyder with th Z5 cams. The combination of the smooth draw with such a gradual transition (I say transition because it's not a drop) into the huge valley, so huge it almost seems like you have to give the string a push to get it started, coupled with the most dead in the hand, shock and vibe free shot on the market today, at anywhere from 328-342fps (depending on model and cam #), and I doubt any other bow you shoot will make you happy. With the let-off on these bows you can hold this thing on target at full draw for ever it seems. The only thing this bow is missing is the rock solid wall of say a prime, not that the wall is spongy, it's just not as solid as a limb stop can be, being that it's a string stop system.

Other than that I think Mathews might have changed their paint color..... Maybe?

Thanks for the great description, Kurt. Sounds like a great bow.

I am considering a new bow as well.
I shot 3 yesterday. The Bowtech Experiance, Matthew's Creed and Hoyt Faktor 30. I was very impressed by the Faktor and Creed bow drew very nice. Solid back wall and very dead in hand. I preferred the Hoyt for looks and I like the grip better than the Matthews. I would love to get my hands on the Faktor 34 to see how I like it.

As much as I wanted to love the Experiance I didn't. It drew ey nice as well but was jumpy on release. Not sure if this is because of how light the arrows were or it's just that aggressive. Plus the limbs creaked and there was a rattle on release as well. May have just been a loose screw but the others didn't have any strange sounds coming from them.

they all shoot nice, bowtech RPM 360 draws like a dream, PSE full throttle is amazing considering the short brace height and the bowtech carbon overdrive was great too.

A little early too predict what bow manufacturers will be coming out with their 2015 line this fall/winter...

Hoping Mathews picks it up again...
