    I went today and shot an Elite energy 32. Man that thing was smooth and pretty dead in the hand. It was a matte black and the finish was kinda different than I've ever seen on a bow. Anybody else shoot an Elite? Having been a Hoyt and Bowtech shooter all my life, this would be quite a change for me. I gotta admit that thing is really tempting me.

    I'm not set on any brand but I've had a tour and e35 this year. Both were good shooters but not enough speed for what I needed.

    The E32 is one of the best bows I've ever shot in 21 years of bow hunting. VERY smooth and that draw cycle is amazing.

    Yeah, that's one thing I forgot to mention. The draw cycle was as smooth as butter and didn't seem to want to jump out of my hand like my Bowtech will do on occasion. I also really liked the draw-stops.

    That's what I love about them, you almost have to push it forward for it to want to take off on ya. I shoot an Answer and don't plan on switching brands any time soon.

    I bought a Energy 35 for the exact reasons you list. Absolutely no regrets with my purchase. I love the way it shoots, and have 100% confidence with it.

    Love my E35, it's the best bow I have ever shot! I shot a couple toms with it already this year, and I am just itching to get a couple whitetail with it. I can tell you one thing for sure, I not switching brands anytime soon! Love my set up![​IMG][​IMG]

    I just picked up my new E35 last Thursday. Did not plan on getting a new bow this year as I am not an annual bow purchaser, but then I made the mistake of shooting it. Traded in my 6 year old bow for it the next day. Even though I shoot the new bows every year this one is different. I'm blown away how quiet it is, lack of vibration at this shot and that amazingly smooth draw cycle right out of the box. Heading outside right now to sight it in!

    I bought an Elite 35 a few weeks back and I absolutely love it! I really took my time and shot models from all the top brands and a few lesser known brands over about a month and this was hands down my favorite bow and every time I shoot it I like it even more. I highly recommend anyone looking for a new bow to make sure you shoot this bow the only negative I can find is that I wish it was a bit lighter other than that it's perfect for me.

    I was completely happy with my Elite Pure and thought there was no possible way there would be a new bow out there that would even make me contemplate getting a new one. Then I shot the Energy and I am seriously thinking about it. The only way I can describe it is... perfect. Never felt a bow that was that awesome.
    Gonna keep my eye on craigslist and whatnot and maybe buy a used one. Not sure I can contain myself

    I've been watching on there. Saw one slip to 650 maybe? Definitely a steal, just can't get myself to jump at it. Lots of other things to spend money on...

    I had an alphaburner which i traded for an alphamax in early February and when i shot the 2013 elite answer i sold my bow that night and got an elite answer. I had the alphamax for a month. That shows how much i like the answer. Going from hoyt to elite was an easy switch.
