After shooting Mathews for 20 years, I'm now an Elite owner. I now know what a solid back wall feels like.

I've looked long and hard at them myself. Don't worry FlynRN, I can build a string for it. You probably won't need one for several years though. Those Winners Choice threads are pretty good.

Good looking bow. I'm sure I'll stick with my lower end bear bow for a while, but wouldn't mind something that looks like that!

Sharp bow. I'm happy with my Mathews but would like to shoot an elite just to see what all the fuss is about.

Just a shot in the dark here but I'm pretty sure he could build a string for anything as long as he knows the string length

Reaper you not far from me, your welcome to meet and shoot mine if you would like. Mine is an answer. If our draws are close that is.

So far so good. Virtually no hand shock, quick and quiet, very solid back wall, and large valley. You almost have to push it down to let down. Drawing a dual cam is different than a solo. I went with the 65# limbs with 27.5" DL and it's shooting my hunting arrow 286. Only thing I'm not comfortable with completely is the grip. Very narrow with the riser actually pushing into your palm. Made my palm a little sore after shooting two days. I have bony hands anyway. Im probably gonna order the full wood grip from them next week. Other than that, I love it. Having said that about the grip, I feel like I aim this bow better than any I've shot. After the shot, the bow stays vertical in your hand,without falling over, longer than the Mathews.

It's not a dual cam. It's a binary cam system. wink Dual cams have two split buss cables. Binary cams have two control cables. A hybrid cam has one control cable and one split buss cable. That concludes today's bow terminology lesson. grin

I started to put binary, but thought it was wrong and didn't want to look stupid. See how that worked out... Always go with your first thought. That concludes multiple choice test taking lessons for today. smile
