Elite dealers?
« on: September 23, 2014, 03:08:48 PM »
I'm looking to shoot an Elite Energy 32  as I decide between that and one of the Hoyt carbon bows or the Hoyt Faktor. I've shot an 80lb Elite once last year and fell in love with it after the one and only arrow I shot from the bow. I can't remember which model it was. I've shot the Hoyt Carbon Spyder Turbo and that's a super sweet machine as well.

I checked Elite's website for distributors and the closest to me is Evergreen archery in Grahm which really isn't all that close to me and I see that they're now by appointment only. I know I can go to The Nock Point to shoot the Hoyt's but does anyone know of any other Elite dealers that maybe don't show up on the website? I don't really have a problem making the trip to Evergreen cause I believe the Elite bows are worth it but less time traveled is always nice.

Background on my archery experience: been shooting/bow hunting for 3 years now and have been using a 70lb PSE Brute X since day one.  Not a terrible bow, and it kills animals but it's kinda jumpy and I'm just looking to upgrade. The Elite I shot was seriously smooth on the draw cycle and the backwall is ridiculous. I feel like if a bull came in and wanted to have a staring contest you could wait him out at full draw for a while.
Every thought of my being is in regards to being a high tech predator and I relish the role.

I think I would wait at this point to buy a 2014 when the 2015's are not far off. Probably start seeing what they have to offer next month.

Thanks a lot for the replies everyone. That's great news that sportco has em. I wonder if outdoor emporium has them. I'll have to give em a shout. And yeah, deals to be had soon on 2014 bows so waiting a bit is probably what I'll do.   :)

I was just talking to Gary about that today. He has been selling them for 5-6 years but the mathews, hoyt & PSE are his big movers He usually has a couple hanging but i didnt realize it either until today when he was working on one.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Was at sportco yesterday.  They had a three of 32(one camo) and a pair of 35.  They had one left hand, but I cannot recall which model it was, but I think it was the 35.

The guy stated that when Evergreen closed and went Appt only they were given the dealership.

Brother was in need of a new bow  and we shot a couple Elite bows at Lucky shots. Think it's in Chehalis. I wanted to be a Elite guy but shot a Mathews and I'd think it would be a close match up. Hard to choose. Never shot a Hoyt that's the next on the list.
