    Well I got my new Elite Answer today . So my initial thoughts . Finish perfect , the pull is smooth the back wall well damn this thing will almost hold itself back . No bump felt in draw . It has no vibe that I could feel after the shot . Might be due to the stablizer . Noise well the arrow hitting the target is all you could hear . I shot it at twenty yards and fifty yards and it puts plenty of zip behind the arrow . Gold tip 5575 30" the bow is 70# wieght . I will clock it when I have more time to shoot and let you know the results . My wife also got her first bow ever the Mission Craze and she loves it. So hope we can have some good times shooting together . DSCF06505.jpg DSCF06531.jpg DSCF06542.jpg . This is what I put on it . ULTRA-REST HDX REALTREE RH

    I'm curious as well. That seems slow. I would also highly recommend going to a 7595

    If he is shooting a 380ish grain arrow he is about right speed wise for an Answer.


    Yea...I wouldn't be able to get .400 spine to tune at 70 pounds unless the arrow was like 25 inches..thinking that's not the case here with a 30" draw.

    My Answer is maxed at 66, draw length is 28.5...I am shooting a .390 spine 27 inch arrow and I am boarder line.

    Sounds like your right about at IBO, good numbers speedwise. Now it's a question of of you can tune her with those .400's
