    As I have yet to kill a deer with mine how well does it do on deer? Do you get pass through?

    Honestly Bee, the bow plays VERY little of a role in whether one gets a pass through. Arrow construction, FOC, broadhead, DL/DW and location and angle of shot are about 90-99% of whether one will get a passthrough.

    For example I shoot about a 470Grain total weight arrow that is if memory is right just shy of 27.5 inches long. I don't remember exactly but I believe I'm around a 13-14% FOC and I shoot fixed blade broadheads.

    The buck in the image was the first deer I shot with the new to me E32 and I got an entrance and exit with shot (slick trick broadhead)...and the doe was quartering away and I got an entire passthrough with arrow stuck in the ground (DRT single bevel head).

    Elite shooter here........E35 @ 55lbs, HHA sight, Ripcord rest, and B-stinger stab. Absolutely the smoothest bow I have ever shot, and this coming from a life-long Hoyt shooter.

    Blessings........Pastorjim

    I shoot a 2016 Synergy. I currently have it broken down. I am bored with black bows and bought some used Kuiu Verde limbs. I am thinking a solid color for the riser, maybe OD green.

    I shoot an Elite GTO. I don't have any pictures of it, but I do have a lot of pictures of animals it has killed.

    Elite Energy 35 64 lbs DW ,29.5 DL. I've had it about 3-4 years now and love it. No plans to upgrade anytime soon. The only problem is it doesn't have the harmonic dampers to keep up with Mathews

    I'm about to drop some coin on a new Option 6 or 7. Probably the 7 for the forgiveness. I haven't decided on a rest yet, either QAD or my trusty whisker biscuit. For anyone that may know, how is Elite's 6 arrow, one piece quiver? Balance? Weight? Vibration? Any info would be appreciated.

    Mine is ugly anyway. That's why I don't have any pictures. Alpine soft
    Lock quiver that doesn't match , ugly digital camo whisker biscuit, hha sight and a no name silicone filled stabilizer. No one wants to see a picture of that.

    2016 Synergy here. I'm currently set at around 65ish for my draw weight. I just moved it up a turn from 60 so I don't know the exact number.

    I have a Copper John Mark 4 three pin slider sight, Trophy Ridge Static 9" stabilizer. And a Muzzy 5 arrow quiver. Everything is black. I'm currently debating on changing out the stock black and gray string for something more colorful.

    Nice bow and real nice buck. What kind of penetration did you get set on 60#? I'm thinking of lowering mine down some.

    Has anyone had issues with Elite's customer service. Looking into getting a 2017 model. Talk to a guy at my range yesterday that said he had issues.
