I have done a bit of transitioning as well. Jumped to Elite and picked up an Enkore. Replaced a PSE Carbon Air. My backup is still a PSE DNA. The SET system and grip on the Elite bows made me switch. The Carbon Air never fit my hand and I never got super comfortable with it. The DNA is fine, but jumpy with the CC cam. I shoot it great when I'm fresh. It's a handful when I get 50-60 arrows in. It's not an Omen, but it's an aggressive cam.
Dumped my Hamskea rest. When I draw the arrow jumps on the rest and that bugs the heck out of me. It also needs a hokey rubber arrow clip to hold the arrow when stalking. It's not secure, and I've been annoyed by it enough times. I couldn't find a reason to stick to the Hamskea (or any other rest) after I tried a Schaffer XV. Really like the way the Schaffer locks when stalking. Very secure arrow containment and none of the issues I've had with other rests when stalking.
Sticking to my MBG 5 pin Ascent. Used this for a few years, and don't see a reason to change. It does what I need. I also kept an HHA optimizer 3 pin as a second option. I prefer the HHA for the position and low profile of the slider knob, but no 5 pin option. 3 pin is fine in Indiana, but not my choice for out west. I could make it work, though.
Also keeping my Trophy Ridge two piece quiver. I have two Tight Spots, but I am not in love with them. I really like the 2 piece better. It can get it tighter to the bow, it balances better, and it doesn't whip at the shot like the tight spot. If the 2 piece doesn't fit a bow, the tight spot gets the nod, but it's not my first choice.
Tru Fire Hardcore release. Tried a Scott Ghost, and a Tru Ball Short N Sweet. Wish I could find a release that wasn't a hair trigger. I'd really like a release that let go at 3-4 pounds. Seriously.
