Turkeygirl Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Anyone shoot or own an Elite bow? Ummm....I shot one today and all I can say is wowzers. Super super smooth, lightweight, fast...Then I shot a Hoyt CRX and it was a completely different world. to me the Elite was way smoother than the Hoyt. Hope to shoot some Mathews tomorrow.

toddyboman Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I have never shot one......However I grew up with a guy that now works for Elite......He loves them and often says how great and wonderful they are....... He highly recommends them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washi Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I own a couple plus a G5 which uses the same cams. They are great bows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) Also if at all possible, find out if you have an Elite dealer near you. I was really impressed with these bows when I tried them out last year. Anyone shoot or own an Elite bow? Ummm....I shot one today and all I can say is wowzers.

ckrich Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 They are VERY nice! Aaannnnd they have the best warranty in the industry, or so I'm told. So have you made up your mind yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need2hunt Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I shot a couple of there new bows when I was at the Iowa Deer Classic. I was incredibly impressed with them. Nice smooth draw, great hard back wall and sweet to shoot. I've shot both Hoyt and Mathews over the years and I my opinion is Elite is right up there with them, they are on my short list for my next bow.

hutchies Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 When Elite came out they were all about speed and got a bad rep for hard drawing cams. They have tamed them down and are a really nice bow to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintlock1776 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I have a habit of using my bow for at least 15 years so I doubt I will be getting any other for some time, have fun with yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 i wish there was a shop around here that really pushed them. they are extremely well made with fit and finish as good as anything out there. i believe i mentioned to ya that they're run out of rochester here in NY. i ended up picking up a target bow but when i was testing new hunting bows i really wish there was a Pulse somewhere to try.

hoosierhunter Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I shoot the GT500 and I can promise there isn't a better draw cycle out there period!! I insure bowshops and I have shot them all and can buy any bow I want at cost yet I choose to shoot Elite. The warranty is untouched. I haven't shot their new bows yet, but have heard great things about them. Honestly there isn't a mathews or hoyt out there(carbon Matrix included) that can touch the draw smoothness on these things. Go shoot that Z7 extreme and feel your shoulder come out of socket when you hit that back valley that is darn near 6 inches prior to the back wall. The one negative thing I can say about the bow is that in the past the IBO speeds were inflated and the bows couldn't shoot that fast. Happy shopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yeah, someone mentioned that about their speeds in the past in my research of these bows but mentioned that it's no longer an "issue". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
