    I've shot just about all the bows out there ,but have yet to shoot a Hoyt! Why you ask,THE PRICE. I love my Elite Hunter,the back wall is unreal and the release and the sound you don't hear is awesome. It'll take me some time before I even look at another bow. But like everyone says, shoot them to see how they feel to you. Good luck and hope you enjoy what you get.

    Since ya keep asking, you know you are going to get beat to death with the same answer. What may be a great bow for one person may be garbage for the next. YOU have to go shoot bows and figure out what feels right to you. Don't base your decision on a bow over opinions online bud, gotta find what feels right in YOUR hand, not other people's minds.

    Think I'm gonna keep it and throw a bee stinger stab on it and add some blue accents

    It's really personal preference. Those both are some really nice bows! I prefer the Elite Hunter. I shot a 2011 Hunter until just making the switch over this year to an Obsession. I can tell you the Elite Hunter is the smoothest drawing bow I have ever shot. Although I gained a ton of speed with my new Obsession I sure do miss the draw cycle on that Elite.

    Ask or talk about cam lean with the bow shop. Before you choose. I shot the Elite, the Prime, Hoyt, Creed xs and the Chill R. When I shoot if anything goes wrong its on me not the tool I use. One shot one kill.

    I don't understand why this is would be a deciding factor in your bow purchase, because almost every bow I have ever set up or worked on shoots better with a little positive cam lean. And I have worked on a lot of bows, anywhere from old bows from the 60's to the modern. All the bows you mention have cam lean, and will shoot better with a little positive lean, that includes prime with the 2 cams in 1 approach to lean.
