    I am planning on getting the new 2015 carbon spyder but I have found a few hardly used 2014 carbon spyder for sale for $1000-$1150 that are completely set up. A 2015 is $1399 bare? I don't know what the difference is if any. Thanks for the tips

    Basically just the warranty you would get buying new.

    I would take my chances on the 2014... I have bought probably 20 one and two year old bows over the years and the savings saved me more then any warranty ....

    Ya I am not really worried about the warranty the bow has a 5 pin spott Hogg sight, QAD HDX rest fuse carbon blade stabilizer, blue meta peep and wrist sling. I guess from 2014-2015 not any real upgrades were made on those bows? Anyone have good or bad reviews of any of the products. I have had the same bow for about 14 yrs hoping this bow could last me a while

    If you're holding on to it like the last one go new, if you're trading in the next few years go used.

    go for the 2014 if that's the case

    only two things changed on the 2015s, the air shox and the roller guard (unless you get the turbo, in which case the cams changed too)

    i have the 2014 and it's a sweet shooter.

    I generally keep a bow for 4 or 5 years so I would go new unless is was a smoking deal on a used one.

    2015 model is supposed to help with torque. Some people I have talked to say they really like new ZT cable guard system. I haven't shot the 2015s yet so can't comment myself. Good luck, either way you are going to have a sweet bow. :bow:

    I have the 2014 and just shot the 2015, not enough reason for me to switch my bow. That used deal above is tough to turn down.

    If I was in the market for a new bow the nitrum would be on my must shoot list as well.

    Not sure how to post pictures it's pretty sweet looking IMO anyways. It's all black with bright orange accessories. I love it
