    So im in the market for a new bow. I am eyeballing the EI34 but as it now has a few years on its arse i am wondering how the quality of this bow turned out to be for over time. Reviews of the bow seems to all have been made in 2016 As it came out in 2016 i think maybe problem areas would have shown its grim face by now.
    How is the parts availability for it nowadays? (just came over a post with rumors about Elite closing down. Any truth to that?) Like if i would need new limbs for a 5 year old bow. Doable? Just forget it?
    I am looking to get a bow that i can have for years to come. If i need to stock parts up front i am game for that, but it would be nice to know what parts to get up front before its to late to get them.
    To illustrate how long i might keep the bow if it holds up (with my very light use i admit) my current bow is a Bear Arro II. Honor and glory to anyone able to tell me anything about this bow ;)

    I can not get new limbs for my Energy 32 which is 2 models before the impulse. I also heard they may shut down shop as a company but don’t know the details on that.

    seems Steve j was looking for advice not smartass posts. Good thing you chimed in with such great advice for him. Or were you just being a dink looking for another argument?

    Whoa slow down big shoot, a guy posts about a specific bow and brand of bow and you post about a completely different brand of bow, I point that out and you call me a troll? Interesting, let me guess under 30?

    typical for you to pull the victim card. I’m not feeding into your crap here anymore

    I did an hour ago after my shower. It looks great by the way! Go be an internet thug elsewhere.

    You keep being you, sorry if I hurt your feelings. Just remember if you have only learned from those you agree with it will be problematic as you negotiate life's twists and turns.

    Your reply. Read the OP's last sentence, read it again aloud.

    it was a suggestion. Never did I ever say he needed to go that way just simply said my halon works for me. I’ve had my mind set many times and then someone would suggest something else I’d look into it and see that I liked what they suggested better and switched my mind to their suggestion... it was just a suggestion. Keep defending yourself sota. You added an emote to your comment proving you were being a dink. Then attack my beard and now act like you were just being the nice guy who got attacked. Go find something productive to do instead of trolling forums looking for arguments or poking fun at people. I suggested a bow I added something to this post for the op to look into. Never said you have to buy a Mathews or never once hailed Mathews in any way.. you commented on it with no other reason other to be an ******* and try bash me.
