Bob,

There's no doubt the Spyder is a better bow than my old Xtec. I could feel the differences when shooting them back to back - especially in speed, weight and let off - but it just wasn't enough of a difference for me to justify the expense.

Plus, I'm sure the sentimental value I have wrapped up in this bow probably has a lot to do with it as well. No doubt I'll get another bow eventually, but it's just not time yet. I'm still enjoying this one too much. . .
