    Big mistake.... My god I knew I shouldn't have touched that thing... The Elite Energy 32 is a great bow. The back wall on that bow is so comfortable. I'm definitely going to have to sell my Powermax and get a new bow.

    I've never shot one, but those Elite bows certainly look like some precision instruments.

    I myself am fighting the urge to buy a new bow. So far I haven't picked one up but I pretty much have bowtech's website memorized lol

    That's exactly what I told the guy at the shop and he came up to me when I was in the range and handed me the bow lol everything about it felt so right

    That's exactly how I ended up with my Elite. I was just browsing my local shop and the guy there asks me if I've ever shot the Elite Energy. I said no and I really wasn't in the market to buy a new bow. I shouldn't have done it but after I shot that thing I couldn't quit thinking about it. Had to have it and a week later I did. No regrets here!

    Blessings.........Pastorjim

    I never go into shops to shoot bows unless I have the cash to buy "just in case". Nothing worse than loving a bow and having to walk out without it :).

    I've been looking into a new bow. As a women, I have never been interested in the "women's bows" and I thought I was set on a Mathews Chill SDX. Needless to say, I shot the Elite Spirit last night and now have one on order! Sweet bows for sure!

    My friend just bought his wife one and it is a sweet bow! The speeds it puts out is fantastic and she shoots it very well! You will love it!

    I have the same problem. Trying to keep this one at least 2 years. But want to shoot a halon. So far I have talked myself out of it.

    I shot the halon before I bought my current bow. I liked it but I didn't like the price at the time.. So I went cheaper. Great bow though
