    Well she has arrived!!
    Faktor 30 blacked 29/65
    Picked her up Monday and have about 100shots on it, gotta say I'm loving it.
    Jake down at Dunn's got me squared away.
    Going to put another 100 or so through it just to make sure everything settles and then I'll get her dailed in.
    This bow loaded is lighter than my Katera was naked.
    I think my katera was a smoother draw but not by much, this one's also 5# heavier draw and not broke in yet so that could be it.
    Hopefully I'll get a chance to shoot from the stand this week.
    Anyway here's pics.

    Looks nice! I've never tried a Hoyt but I really want to. Going to shoot one next year before I decide what new bow I'm going to get. How does it feel? Does it hold on target nice and is it dead in your hand after the shot?

    I have never been a Hoyt fan, mostly for cosmetic reasons. I was at Deer Fest in WI last weekend and I shot this bow and I was really impressed. Congratulations.

    Hoyt is the way to go! Just picking on Blarney22 ;)........All the new bows are nice now days. It's just user preference.

    It holds great for me.
    There is some vibe and an ever so slight kick, but as said its not tuned yet nor does it have a stab on it yet. Had a bowjax X-it on the last one and might throw it back on to see how it does.

    GREAT-looking rig! One of the smoothest bows I ever drew back.

    I really looked at the Faktor before settling on the Carbon Spyder. Guess I had to get me one to see what the hype was all about. In truth, unless shooting them back to back, I can't tell the difference between the "regular" or aluminum Spyder and the Carbon Spyder and can only imagine the same is the case with the Faktor and Carbon. Same cam isn't it?

    The all black is a sharp look. I have the same on my Carbon Spyder 34

    Very nice. I take it you like carbon fiber. Almost went with that bow. Elite was third place.

    Lol , actually just took everything of my old bow and put it on the new one.
    My last bow was a katera , great bow but the draw was too short.
    It was a heavier bow so everything I put on there was bought with weight savings in mind.

    I never even noticed the faktors limbs before putting the parts on because the one I shot at the shop was camo and I had them order a black one.

    Just worked out that way, thanks.
