Phelps Carbon Fiber Bugle Tube

Curious what everyone’s thoughts are on the Phelps carbon fiber bugle tube. Just something else to sale? Could it be a benefit? Or is it just a sexy upgrade for those who “have”.

Straight from the mouth of Phelps himself on a recent podcast, it sounds fine, but not really going to make or break your calling. More just a "cool factor" thing.

I honestly thought it sounded like shit when I heard him demo it.

Ooo a lighter more expensive thing for me to lose on the mountain.

Bold new graphics can only push so much products year after year. I was intrigued enough to click on the original email. Saw the price and filed it under “nope.”

Funny they market carbon fiber bike frames, bow risers, etc as reducing vibration which I would think is the exact opposite of what you'd want in a bugle tube.

They saw how people would pay double for worse performance in carbon rifle barrels and figured they can make money on the weird carbon fiber fetish too.
