    First new bow I've bought in fourteen or fifteen years. Still waiting on a few parts as they hadn't turned up yet. Dealer is a stand-up guy and loaned me a sight and rest until mine arrive. Built some arrows up and this thing is fast. Can only imagine how fast they are when really setup for speed. Planning on using this one for deer and turkey hunting.

    It's funny you say that as I really wanted to shoot some of the Elite bows before I made my final decision but there are no dealers anywhere near me and I had to drive about an hour each way just to get this one. I think I shot almost twenty different bows before I decided on this one and so far I'm really amazed at how great the bow feels in my hand and all the way through the draw cycle.

    I just wish my sight was here so I could start getting it dialed in. Ordered one of the Axcel Armortech-HD Vision sights after shooting one on my Brother-In-Laws bow and seeing the quality and available adjustment that it offers. Kinda went nuts with the other stuff too but I figured if it's at least another ten years or more before I get a new bow I might as well get this one tricked out and be done with it.
