That the new bow Brian ....
yes it is...and i absolutely love it! hoyt makes a tough bow!
the shorter one is the caron element. just bought one of those myself. they spyder is a sweet shooter too. the creed is nice, as is the chill. i shot em all. i'm not a fan of the mathews grips myself. i've never really cared for any mathews bow i've tried. just personal taste i guess. the spyder is really nice. another one to look at is the bowtech experience. that's darn nice bow as well. haven't shot the carbon knight, but i've read that it's a sweet shooter too. i bought the element because i happened across a deal i couldn't pass up.
take a look at the hoyt charger. it's a kickass bow for pretty short money. those shoot really nice too.
Carbon Matrix G3 is what it's labelled. Great bow. 31" draw combined with 70 lbs of draw weight makes it a killing machine :-)
