Elite Z28 ???

Anyone shoot one of these, I love the looks and the specs but haven't got the chance to shoot one. I'm going to have to get down to 3 Rivers and try one out. I'm assuming the draw cycle must be a little harsh to get that type of speed with an 8" brace height?
ATA - 32 1/2”
BH - 8”
Draw Length - 27-30”
Draw Weight - 60-80 lbs
IBO Speed - 336 FPS
I've got the "NEW BOW" bug, I've been a Mathews guy forever but none of their new bows have got me very excited. Elite looks like they are starting to get their feet firmly planted.

They have a very aggressive cam but they shoot nice, If my shoulder could take that kind of cam I would be all over one. You many not like pulling it back but shooting its is just amazing

I'm probably going to buy a 60 lb'r this time, my shoulders aren't what they used to be. How was the noise level?

There no louder then any other brand I have shot and there wasnt much hand shock, the bow didnt have anything but a stringtamer on it.

Haven't shot one, but I sure can't wait to hear what you think of them. I trust your judgement in bows. Be interesting to see what you come up with. Keep us posted.

I'm hoping to go down to Rainier Archery and try one this week. I heard they just received a shipment of them. I'm also in the market for a new bow and have no brand loyalty at this point. I just want to go out and shoot a bunch of bows and see what feels the best. I have tried the 2009 bowtech's and loved the Admiral. I am looking forward to trying the Z28 as well as the new Hoyt's and the new Mathews when they come out.

I shot one for the first time tonight, nice bow. I'll write about it in a separate post along with a review of the two others that I tried tonight.

they shoot awesome and have a very nice wall as far as pulling it, not much different then a bowtech! a dual cam rig is always pretty difficult compaired to a single cam! the 82-101st cam is way more harsh!

I've got one that i'm in the process of setting up right now. I really like how light it is compared to my 05 bowtech allegience. I can't wait to cut some holes with it. I will report back as soon as it's dialed in.

Took up to riverside today and had them put a sight and rest on it for me. It shoots like a dream, and man is it fast. I was very impressed with how smooth it is. I wish I would have set this thing up before hunting season. I guess it's time to sell the 2005 bowtech.
