    I heard there was a problem with the risers being too weak so they got delayed

    True statement. Was in talking to our local dealer and said he got a letter from Hoyt saying how they were done working the bugs out before consumer sales. Had to fine tune the riser to perform the way they wanted because of how they changed the limbs and limb pockets. Not a design flaw, per se, but a quality adjustment thing.

    Should be a sweet bow, the defiant 30 is a very nice bow, I can only imagine what the carbon defiant feels like.

    They weren't in a local shop last I seen. They did have plenty of the aluminum models, which I got to shoot.

    My dealer doesn't have a single one, but I'm almost positive I saw one in the UA camo hanging there a couple months ago.
    I'm not sure I agree that they are "fixing bugs." I think it's more a result of the major increase in factory worker unrest in China currently.
