ELITE ENERGY 35

[JPhelps]

I got the new bow setup and I love this thing.  The grip is perfect for me, smooth draw, solid back wall and quiet/dead. The only thing I can complain about is the slightly heavy starting weight.

XXX G-Strings, QAD hDx, custom Black Gold Ascent, Spider 10" carbon stabilizer.

I ordered this with 80 lb limbs. Well it arrived sitting at 85 lbs. Thank God the draw on this bow is amazing!!!  It is shooting a 530 gr Black Eagle Rampage at 308 fps.

cool looking bow sounds like it performs too.

I forgot to mention the machine work on the Elite is second to none. The riser and cams are flawless making the fit and finish spot on.

It really jumps out at you, doesn't it?  Makes you wonder why everyone doesn't do that    Obviously doesn't cost that much more to do.  Just a dedication to the finished product.

Now that's a GREAT looking bow.

very nice set up! 85 pounds??? holy crap man, I didn't know they went that high.  Must be an 80% let off?  I'm not that knowledable about bows but I've heard the poundage doesn't mean as much as people think? If you shoot good with 55 pounds, is it just better to have 70 or 80 pounds?  I currently have a 68 pound bow that when I shoot I some times get that jump forward before I'm ready to shoot.  Should I go down to 60 pounds or get an 80% let off bow?  I have no problem pulling a heavy bow back, but just wondering if I'd shoot more consistantly with a 50 to 60 pound bow? Thanks.

This may be a question for. RadSav, Cory or someone more knowledgable.

I ordered the bow with the idea of speeding up my 530 gr arrow and it was a success. The let off is 85%.

As far as the creep you are talking about it comes down to the backwall which depends on the cam design. Some cam designs always want to creep where some are solid. Let off definitely affects the holding weight but for me design seems to be a bigger factor. Also some guys shoot better with lower let off as it forces their muscles to stay more engaged through the shot.

That is a form issue and not a poundage issue.  Also known as the Hoyt Conundrum.  Going up or down in poundage or holding weight probably won't change a thing.  Sometimes is the side effect of having too long of draw length, being closed to the target or just simple lack of concentration.  A good coach, true tension release, clicker or combination thereof will put a quick end to it.

Your good, I have a maxxis 31 and a short draw that prob should be shorter!  When I draw my quality muzzy tag and go full time bow, Id love to pick your brain on a new set up!

Jason - great bow!  Congrats!

I just picked up my Elite Hunter and love it!     I will post some picks shortly. 

Trophy, you need to shoot this bow before you buy anything else.  The smooth draw and solid back wall are awesome.  Along with the fact that it almost feels like you have to push the string forward before it takes off, is awesome!  It seems like you can hold it forever and there is very little "pin bounce" so I THINK my shooting will improve and Blair will quit kicking my ass so bad at these bow shoots!!!   

You can shoot it at our next outing.
