Elite bows

[idaho guy]

I am getting a new bow and a buddy mentioned the Elite bows. Just looking for pros and cons from people who own or owned one. I have never had any experience with them but I am going to try and shoot a few this weekend at a bow shop if I have time.

Not much help on Elite. Just bought a Prime Ion and love it

I've had a couple and currently shoot an Elite Energy 35. I love it. They make a great bow and have a great warranty. They hold real easy and stable at full draw. They don't feel like they want to jump out of your hand. They have a solid wall and an excellent Valley which is why they don't feel jumpy. You will love them. You can get new 2016s on ebay for about $650.00

My other choice would be Prime #2 Hoyt #3

Definitely go try an elite, you feel like you need to push the string when your at full draw! Great bow

thanks I am upgrading because I have a hoyt carbon element and it is very jumpy for me and feels like it has no valley at all.(probably my bad form ha ha) Missed a nice bull because I had to lean around a tree and the bow pulled forward and about jumped out of my hands!

Not a bad cycle but they have a sharp drop into the valley hump and dump.

I have mine adjusted to where it has very little valley and like it much better then how it was adjusted from the factory.  Yes it did feel like you had to push it to shoot. There's a lot of adjustment there to get it just how you like. I have the E32 and really like it. So easy to tune, so easy to shoot.

While you are out testing new bows, I would suggest shooting a Prime. Either the Rize, or the Centergy. Super stable, rock solid back wall, great customer service, and FREE STRINGS every 2 years for as long as you own the bow!

I will thanks for the tip any bow shops close to north Idaho carry those that you know of?

Something to think about if you're hunting Idaho is their 85% letoff rule. I think the elites are higher than that, and a sharp eyed warden would know what bows to look for.

[demontang]

They can be tuned to different let off. Athens has the same cam system and I've been running them around 80% but they can be higher.

I believe Blacksheep in CDA is a Prime dealer.

I upgraded from a bowech Carbon knight to an Elite E35 last year.  The elite is a really nice bow with a smooth as butter draw cycle.  The CK had a sharp peak before let-off, the Elite just falls into the valley.  I shoot 60#, but was able to was able to draw and shoot a 70# on the elite without any hassle.

Don't shoot one unless you know you can afford to buy one.
