Title: New Elite
Post by: northwesthunter84 on December 27, 2015, 06:49:28 PM: Has anyone shot this yet, may be in the market this year? It's on my short list of choices. Also anyone know if they have them on hand at sportco for a test drive? Thanks in advance!

That can be tuned out of any elite. The ones in the shops usually are set up for >80% letoff. Get the bow in spec and down to 75-80% letoff and that hard drop into the valley goes away. That's the great thing about elite, they can be tuned to almost anyone's preferences. I can even get them to have a cable stop feel by pushing the limb stops all the way out and putting a thicker squishy o-ring on them, and vary the thickness of the o-rings to get a certain letoff/firmness of wall.
