Awesome bows, would not hesitate to purchase one. If I had to purchase a new bow right now it would be a toss up between the Elite Answer and Mathews Monster MR7. One of the best Elite guys in the US is in Kerens, TX. He services factory shooters and when TXW and I were in his shop buying TXW a new bow a guy flew in From Las Vegas just to buy an Elite from Jerry at Redneck Booda outdoors.

My Target bow for 2014 will most likely be an Elite.

My friend has an elite answer and swears buy it! Ill shoot it tomorrow and Ill let you know how it shoots! I personally shoot a bowtech assassin and its a great bow and I love it! Great package price too! You may want to look into the bowtech experience and possibly the bowtech carbon knight! Not trying to blow off other bow brands but Mathews monster is also great!

Elite makes a good bow. My buddy has one and loves it. I had the chance to shoot his last year and really liked the feel.

I've been shooting Elite since 2010

I started with a GT-500, and I'm still shooting it. I haven't tried anything since that is so spectacular that it makes me want a new bow. I have recently purchased another GT-500, which I am slowly putting together as a target bow.

I am impressed with the Tour as a target rig, or an Answer for a hunting bow; just for the shiny newness.

I am not particularly fond of short ATA bows, they just don't feel right to me.

Elite has one of the best warranty offerings in the industry, a lifetime transferrable warranty. I bought both of my bows second hand, and had no issues with getting them registered. The customer service has been friendly and helpful when I have had questions.

They use Barnsdale limbs, and the limbs will interchange with most all of the bows. It has become popular with Elite groupies to swap around limbs and cams from different bows to come up with other interesting configurations.

New bows come wih Cerakoted parts and Winners Choice premium strings.

I can't say enough good things about them, I have been thrilled with mine.

Alright update on the Elite! Shot the answer with my friend and no joke one of the most smoothest drawing bows I have ever felt! It was maxed out at 70 pounds and it felt like I was pulling under 50! I would seriously look into elites because I think my next bow may have to be the Elite Hunter!
