I am super excited to get mine middle of this coming week! Buddy that works at the shop is customizing it for me now (all black with red accent accessories, GO HUSKERS!!) Granted I have not shot any NEW bow in 10 years, but this bow blew every other bow I shot out of the water. As far as I am concerned the only other bow I shot that I thought came close to the Spyder was the Elite Hunter (just heavier at address and the resale value will go downhill the minute you walk out the shop with it versus a hoyt) I plan on having the bow for quite a few years but still, good to know that your bow is still worth a few pennies. Enjoy!
