Went to look at getting a new bow today…currently have a diamond black ice but ready to replace it.
Shot the bowtech 360, overdrive and knight... Mathews creed and chill r… Prime G5.. Hoyt carbon spyder 30 and faktor 30.. all 2014 models..
I have narrowed it down to either the bowtech overdrive, the hoyt spyder 30 or faktor 30. I'm really leaning towards buying the hoyt but I can't decide which one.
I cannot tell how much difference there is between the two except the price tag of $1400 vs $925. They both come back super smooth, shoot extremely quiet, no vibration and are extremely lightweight. I was really amazed at how easy it is to hold your draw with these bows also. Going back to shoot them again this weekend and try to make a decision.

Shoot as many as you can with the same setup, go with th one that feels and shoots best to you. Not a bad bow in your list
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

Why is there such a price difference? Looks like msrp is within $50.

Don't know... I called around and found a cheaper deal today. 2014 faktor 30 for $810 and 2014 spyder 30 for $1200.
Also went and shot again today. Pretty dead set on the faktor 30! Will post pics once I bring one home!

I just went thru the exact same thing and went with the faktor. I could not tell the difference between it and the carbon spyder after multiple shots with both. The owner of the shop recommended the faktor over the spyder given the very little difference in performance but huge price difference.
