So I'm going to be buying a new bow this year. Whats the deal with the Elite bows? Why's there not much elite love on here?
I have an Answer, best bow I've ever owned, and I've owned a few. Super smooth, and most importantly, I feel like I can hold it forever. Go shoot em, you won't be disappointed.
I have three Elites right now, an Answer, Hunter and Pulse. Elites are great shooting bows, best back wall you will find....smooth drawing and plenty of let off. Fit and finish is excellent, clean lines, traditional good looks. There customer service and warranty are the best around. Go shoot the E32 and E35, they ante awesome easy shooting bows.
I like them, I have shot a few and always thought they shot well and felt good in the hand. I am not sure if it has anything to do with it but I think they had a few staffers and maybe even a VP get pinched for poaching a few years ago. I have one buddy who won't shoot them because of that. I don't know the whole story but I don't think it affects the quality of the product any, just a personal choice kind of thing.
All the reviews I have seen online guys absolutely love them... However they are very rarely talked about around here? If this was a mathews thread there would be 4 pages by now. Just curious I guess.
I really like how the Elite Hunter felt. For 2013, my three favorite bows from the 2013 ATA Show was the PSE Dream Season DNA, Bear Motive 6 and the Elite Hunter. I'm looking forward to shooting their 2014 lineup. Here's a video I did at the 2013 ATA Show.
Elite is awesome I have a Pulse and a Tour. My dad has an Answer. If I were to buy a new bow this year there's a 99% chance it would be an Elite Energy. Didn't the crew on here used to shoot Elites before the switch to Mathew's?
I bought a GTO new and still have it. i have owned a bunch of other bows since but it always goes hunting, it's one lucky bow
I'm on my second Elite I shot a hunter for the last 2.5 season I loved it Last week I bought a new Energy 32 and everything that the hunter did the Energy is that much better Is it the fasted bow no but its as smooth as silk in the cold Canadian climate I hunt I have no problems pulling back the 76lbs I have it set at with my hunting arrows I get 317fps and I can shoot it all day Dan
Elite make awesome bows... I had a Pulse for a while... As stated, best back wall in the market and you literally have to push your string forward to let down.... I'm looking into a Energy35 myself for next year hopefully.
Before I bought the bow in my sig I shot a lot of bows and the only one that was close to the bow I bought to me was the Elite hunter. They are two totally different bows but both great in their own way. The biggest reason I didn't buy one is the speed or lack of. Everything else was great. I may still own a Elite before its over, I haven't shot the 2014's yet!
I've had an Elite Pure for two years now. When I went looking I had pre-determined I'd be getting a Mathews or a Hoyt, but shot an Elite, PSE, Bear and Bowtech for the heck of it. The Elite stuck out for me, smooth, solid back wall and an overall very nice bow.
