Compound Bow Comparator

Those not worried about money or on an unlimited budget are going to love the Carbon Spyder 34. This bow is perfect for 3D and hunting and will be a fantastic multipurpose bow. The biggest drawback for this Hoyt bow is the price. Aside from that, it is very difficult to find anything wrong with the bow that can do it all. The increased strength, forgiving brace height, and decent speeds are sure to improve accuracy for many shooters as well. Is the price tag worth the bow? Only shooters can make that decision for themselves. Read full review...

The bottom line for choosing a bow always comes down to each individual shooter. However, the Faktor 34 is going to be a winner for many interested in a longer axel-to-axel bow with the ability to be used as a multipurpose shooter. Shooters will need a high quality stabilizer to tone the hand shock down a bit as it is noticeable without accessories added to the bow. However, most shooters are already doing this anyways, and after the stabilizer has been added, the shock is virtually a non-issue. The price tag is a bit steep for many shooters, but for a high-end bow with this many technologies, it is comparable to the price for other manufacturers flagship offerings. The Faktor 34 is worthy of a test shot for anyone wanting a top of the line bow that has the ability to do it all. Read full review...
