    Well i setup and shot a CS30 today, WOW! 60lb, 28", Nicest Hoyt ive ever shot, and it is abolutely silent! No hand shock, very little vibration, the new Z5 cam is butter smooth, rolls over very nice and has a nice long forgiving valley and hard back wall. Cant wait for my CS34 Long draw to get here!!!!

    After a couple test shots, this was the very first group i put on paper at 20yds

    She caught me looking at these the other night, it didn't go well. I've been shooting my Hoyt for 7 years and its time for an upgrade.

    I told her I sure of one thing. I'm definitely getting the black out riser but unsure of what limbs to go on it.

    She will get over it, I hope.

    Cool! Thanks for the report.
    I'm going to shoot a carbon spyder turbo first chance I get. Probably can't afford it after buying the new element a couple months ago but I'm shooting one at least.

    Man, in all honesty... Ive shot elements, matrix's, this bow outshoots them both!! Smoother, lighter, more balanced, better overall feel... Id sell the element! ;-)

    That really is a nice looking bow. For $1399 it ought to make coffee in the morning. My 2003 Razortec is going to be around for awhile.

    Yeah, probably so...I hate to sell a bow before I've ever laid an animal down with it though. I'm calling the bowshop Tuesday (closed on mondays) and talk to them about a trade since my element is pretty new. May just go ahead and pull the trigger on a carbon spyder turbo and then worry about selling the element.

    Nov. Field & Stream had a write up on the bow tech carbon knight, the carbon spyder is an interresting looking bow. I remain content with my bow.

    I will say that is one really sweet looking bow. Just bought a new Helim though, so no new toys for me

    I was fondling and drooling over on of these last Thursday and I thought the MSRP was $1299.00. I think you could buy it all day long for $1250.00. So now that I saved you $150.00, go grab one! LOL

    They said in a previous post that the MSRP was $1399.00. I said I thought it was $1299.00 and you could buy it for $1250.00. So that looks like a savings of $149.00 where I went to school. It was meant to be funny.
