    I've recently owned a Bowtech Destroyer, Hoyt Carbon Spyder, and now 3 Elites. Just love the way these Elites feel. Finish is flawless, tuning is a breeze, draw is smooth, valley is generous, wall is as solid as it gets, and I love the adjustability to be able to get about 90% letoff if desired. Everything else just seems to feel a tad spongy in comparison. Maybe my preference will change in time, but for now, I'm sticking with Elite.

    I have two Elites, E 35 and Answer. I put Tourqueless grips on both and really like them.

    I shoot an Energy 35, and in over 30yrs of archery it is the smoothest bow I've ever shot. I too wasn't looking for a new bow the first time I picked one up. But after shooting it, I couldn't quit thinking about it so I bought one.

    Not to bring up an OLD thread but by chance you see this did you shoot the E32 also and was there a noticeable difference between it and the E35....I currently am trying to decide to purchase a fair priced E32!!

    Yes Ty I did shoot a 32. As a matter of fact, I shot the 32 at the shop and then bought a 35 without shooting it. After shooting both I don't think there's any difference. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    The Elites are very solid shooting bows. If I were to stop shooting Bowtech's, that would probably my bow of choice. Honestly if you're looking for latest and greatest bells and whistles and that "wow" factor, I'm not so sure the Elites are it. But if you're looking for tried and true, simple and sweet shooting bows, then they have them.

    No, as far as I know it isn't listed on AT. It is gonna get the mods switched out as it is currently set up for 28" DL I currently am used to 28.5" DL and it has 65# limbs.

    One of the things that I like about them...and to be honest was one of the reasons I like Mission now...I don't need the newest latest tech or gimmick as I often times don't think they are worth the capital they charge for them.

    yeh I owned an E32 and sold it to buy a recurve, but it was the finest of bows.

    I think there is a difference between them. The main difference I see is at the short draw lengths, I think you get more out of the 32 at shorter draws with any real trade offs expect giving up the ATA.
    Feel wise you hard pressed to tell a difference.

    When I was looking at the Energy 32 & 35 I made sure I shot them both. Really liked the 32 as it was light and was smooth like butter to draw back. Had a little jump to it compared to the 35 but not much at all. String angle wasn't too bad. The 35 was a little heavier and seemed to have an even better draw cycle. On the shot it doesn't budge, just everything seemed so smooth and balanced better for me and I'm a short guy at 5'7"

    I've shot elite alongside all of the other major bow brands. None of the others had the same combination of smoothness, quietness, and overall good shooting.

    For me the Elites and Primes are the best shooting bows. I want to buy a new Prime this year and won't be getting rid of my E32 anytime soon.
