    Anyone order a 2014 Elite and actually get it? Dealer tells me they are so busy with orders the 3 girls that are taking orders can't answer the phone fast enough and they go to VM. Just curious if anyone is getting theirs and how long did you have to wait.

    Unless your a leftie its been pretty decent by all accounts. Nothing compared to last year. Hasn't been much complaining over on their forum for the most part...Let me find out.

    what did you order? so I can ask?

    Energy 35 in Xtra Camo. I ordered it 2-3 weeks ago. They can't give me an estimate on when it will be. Its not a huge deal, I was just curious what others were experiencing.

    I think the right handed camo ones are coming in fairly fast. As long as you don't want the green 35 or left handed you shouldn't have to wait to long. I think a few guys have gotten camo 32's in 3or 4 weeks.

    No problem. I really like the energy bows!
    I'm sure you are aware of some of the issues guys are having.. But just a heads up there's been some issues with the draw stops backing out, the elite coin falling off and now guys are saying the cerakote is flaking off some of there bows. I high recommend putting loctite on those draw stops. Not trying to scare you but these are things everyone needs to know that are looking at those bows. Hopefully it's not happening to all of them.

    What can possibly change year-to-year to make draw stops suddenly not stay put? Lol, stupid question but it does seem strange.

    I believe it! Just seems strange that it would just start happening after how many years of using them. Different alloy maybe or something.

    I probably won't bring it home time my accessories are in and it is set up. After that I will.
