Just got the Carbon Defiant Turbo yesterday. I put a HHA Optimizer Lite on it, tuned it, and am now sighted in from 5 to a HUNDRED yards. The speed is great and groups are tight. This is thee nicest compound bow I have ever owned by far!
The piece you didnt know what it was looks like a felt piece that folds onto a whale tail to keep it silent. I am not sure, but it looks just like the one from John Dudleys new rest. Nice video! Keep up the good work!
Great vids bee! Always enjoy you. I'm glad you like the defiant. I chose the elite this season. Just felt better for me. I still enjoy the carbon spyder though. Hoyt has always been nice and top notch to me. Just liking the new elite lineup. Nock on brother
Got my Carbon Defiant about 2 months ago and I couldn't be happier! I actually liked it so much I've been using it as a tournament bow! Mainly 3D tournaments and it's won me quite a few local ones. Great bow and I highly recommend it to anyone out there looking!
Hey Chris, big fan of your content here! I currently have a Defiant 34 that I bought used. I know now that you shoot Matthews. Was there any defining moment that pushed you to shoot matthews. Would like to know what made you change
Truly agree with the video going around on Hoyt frustration. "New bow/paint job with same old specs...that's it I'm going to Bowtech"...How much does Hoyt pay you for the advertising or do they send products?
James Paquette I am passionate about Hoyt products and stand behind them because there is no one in the industry that meet their standards. They are a top notch company with top notch equipment. Period. After going to the factory and seeing how bows are made, my mind is set. The DEFIANT series is leading the edge in accuracy and reliable technology, and this bow is the bees knees.
Chris Bee simply had too many problems with my daughters AND my Procomp elite. Its 2000+ dollars for that bow up here in Canada but with the cam shimming, limb pocket noise and limb pocket breakage, these are not things that one should encounter with a premium bow. Its bad when a service person mentions that it was made on a Monday because they were probably still hung over! I love my Hoyts but I'm not made of money and the target market isn't exclusive anymore.
yes your right...except the noise. There is nothing they can do. The pockets were warrenty but this shouldn't happen on a premium bow. The inability to tune centre shot led to ordering shims. Again not something that should have left factory. My final word is they make great product. They have issues with RND and quality control at times that put re-purchase of their product in question. The pocket issue should have been a recalled. The pocket/limb noisr is simply unacceptable for a 2000$ bow(in Canada). The dealer saying that there is nothing that can be done is poor as well. Lots of Pro's are leaving and Mathews took the outdoor record. if PSE tops thst you can start putting the nails in the Hoyt coffin.
James Paquette i never had those problems with hoyt you must have just gotten unlucky. i am a bit of a computer nerd and everyone once in a while a computer component arrives DOA or have some other problem and i just RMA it and this happens to every computer component manufacturer and even to their top line of parts like intel's i7 6950x. with all the bows hoyt is producing there has to be a few faulty ones. also hoyt still retains some of the top archers like sara lopez and mike schloesser
I noticed there is there no Hoyt engraving on your wooden grip?? is this the grip that came with it ??? because when they advertise this bow on the website it has the word Hoyt engraved on the grip ...just curious because I'm about to buy this and would like to know
I currently shoot the carbon spyder 30 which i love, and i would consider getting a carbon defiant if i could sell mine. I was just curious of your honest opinion on how much better this bow really is? The technology has obviously improved but is it light years difference or do you still like the carbon spyder as well? I'm afraid i'd get a defiant and should just wait another year or 2 and get the new one they come out with....
my dad used to shoot over 30yrs ago I said I would like to start shooting so for Christmas my mom got him a defiant 34 carbon and I got a chameleon carbon :D
That is a beauty of a bow even this many years later.

Its crazy he is marking out the mathews emblem on his target but now he shoots mathews
You should dye that stache the same color as your bow
Good job!!

Can you do a video on your hunting setup?
What do you do with your old target bows?
Sell them usually
sick
hey chris what is the bracket you have of of your riser for your quiver mount?
At 1:09 he says "its either a limb stop or a cable stop, depending on what setting you have". Is that correct?? How do you set this up as a limb stop?
still uploading the bee season tonight?
nvm
grow a beard bro!!!!! lol.. keep the vids coming buddy...
need more vid :P more vlog comming ?
my dad used to shoot over 30yrs ago I said I would like to start shooting so for Christmas my mom got him a defiant 34 carbon and I got a chameleon carbon :D
What do you think about the under amour ridge reaper color
Pretty cool, Buckskin is cooler
be careful using that press on that bow without the Hoyt fingers.
What's your draw weight?
70 pounds
Just a baby bro!!!
Hopefully your mustache will fill in to match your eyebrows
was it dicey pressing that thing without the lca adapters?
Only pressed it a little bit for the peep. You really need to use the LCA adapters to press it all the way.
Dont know why im asking, but how does the release work?
Dear i have carbon defiant 34 how many turns i can do safely for draw weight
bilal khan it says in the manual
Who says you can’t press past parallel limb bows with a last chance Pffff😂
Can I have ur carbon spider 30
first
You got it for free
You look weird like my brother
Grow a beard
Nice bow bud. I’m fixing to get the Hoyt carbon defiant 34.
