What draw length are you? Just curious as I have "heard" elites fall off fast. I am waiting to see what new bows come out and then buy.

28 inch. Im prolly only shooting 265ish fps. None of that matters IMO killed 2 elk in 2 days with it

Thanks! I really have never worried about speed but more so kinetic energy. I have a 27" dl so I just make sure I have enough kinetic energy every time. I am interested to see what elite comes out with this week for the 2016 line.

Shot the Energy 32 and my Hoyt CE is now my back-up. I am so much more accurate to 60 yards with the E32 it isn't even funny. I can hold that sucker at full draw forever.

Last year I shot everything I could get my hands on. Price was no concern. I have draw shoulder damage so I wanted a bow that had a nice draw cycle and easy to hold at full draw. I took home a synergy. Not a fast bow, but I really enjoy shooting it.

I've owned a Z28 and an Answer. Both were good bows, draw on the Z28 is hard to beat. Answer was more consistent for me in terms of repeatable hits. Then I had to go and demo an Xpedition.. Ended up selling the two and now run an X7. I like how the Elite's draw back, but my accuracy and consistency went way up with the X7. My experience is that both companies are top notch, I personally just shoot the X7 better.

Had a Gt500, been shooting an Ally for a few years, nice bow with similar limb stops, picked up a Matrix but just couldn't fall in love with the cable stops after shooting the Ally, although I shot an older Hoyt for a while also. Just picked up an E32, haven't had a chance to shoot it set up as i'm waiting for draw mods but its' a beautiful looking bow, hope to really test it out on a hunt in Jan.

I just made the mistake of shooting an impulse 34. Looks like I'll be selling my current bow and ordering one with 80 pound limbs.
