What new Elite would you want?

[Michael]

If you were getting a 2008 Elite, what would you get and how would you set it up?

I will go first.

1. Synergy XT/29" DL/60# DW/ AT edition with fall camo.

2. GTO/same specs/same colors

The GTO is second because, I am not sure what the specs are.

[shootstraight]

I am getting a new one I have an XT on order 29/60 G2 camo (is it G2 or G1?) I am very interested in what the GTO will do and the XL for that matter. If the XL is a winner my Energy might have to go but only time will tell.

[Michael]

So now there's a synergy ST :eek:

OOPS!!!

It is corrected now. Sorry.

[TEXAS 10PT]

I already have a Synergy Extreme XL on order. It will come with 28.5 draw mod so I can tweak the DL to 29.25. It will be in G1 camo and I'll shoot it at 65lbs unless its so smooth drawing that I may have to set it at 70lbs.

I may get a GTO as well with 60lb limbs but not sure yet. I have debated if I get one whether to get it in AT with black limbs for the Ninja look or to get it in G1 also. First though I want to see how it looks and what the specs are. I already like the idea that's it 4-5 fps faster than the Envy and that's at 80% letoff.

[shootstraight]

Corrected what?

[Soumi]

I want a 60# Fire in a target color, either blue or black. My wife might not notice if it's black. Make me a great deal. :D

[shootstraight]

Alright I need to get something straight. What color is the AT? I thought it was the fall camo, I guess this is wrong?

[TexasCanesFan]

I would only get the GTO, depending on what it is exactly once it is released.

I know the XT is suppose to be an upgrade from my 2007 Synergy, but I love my bow.

Just not ready to change for something that is similar.

[L-train]

Ninja XL 27" 70#(maybe 60 not sure)
Cant say on the GTO yet!

[TexasCanesFan]

Alright I need to get something straight. What color is the AT? I thought it was the fall camo, I guess this is wrong?

AT is the black riser with camo limbs.

[BAArcher]

I want a new 40" ATA, 8" brace height target bow that shoots 310fps+

[Michael]

Corrected what?

You are on your game tonight! I am a little crazy, but I know you posted about my ST instead of XT mistake.:D

[TEXAS 10PT]

Black riser with camo limbs

TXAS

[Ultramax]

I have the feeling it will be the GTO for me. The Fire also has my attention. Maybe if things go right;) I might get both:D.

[TEXAS 10PT]

Alright I need to get something straight. What color is the AT? I thought it was the fall camo, I guess this is wrong?

I have one with fall leaf camo limbs and it is sweet looking but it would look even better with black limbs:cool:

TEXAS

[shootstraight]

AT is the black riser with camo limbs.

Ah, thanks that makes sense.

[TEXAS 10PT]

I know that my wife keeps asking me why I need three bows. How pi$$ed will she be if I have 4:mad: and I'm not selling any of my Elites:)

TEXAS

[shootstraight]

Ninja XL 27" 70#(maybe 60 not sure)

So what makes one choose a 70 or 60, do you shoot in between weights, like 65?

[shootstraight]

I want a new 40" ATA, 8" brace height target bow that shoots 310fps+

Spoken like the true short ata guy I know you to be. :D

[BAArcher]

Spoken like the true short ata guy I know you to be. :D

Everyone knows the short bows are more accurate, I just want the others to have a chance!

[willijf1]

I was thinking a while back about the perfect bow that I would design for me. It would be 36-37 inch ATA, 8 inch brace, Binary cams with draw stop, and Barnsdale limbs. Sounds a lot like the Extreme XL!! :D:D:D:D

[shootstraight]

Everyone knows the short bows are more accurate, I just want the others to have a chance!

Well, mostly everyone :p

[KDS]

One of each would be nice, but I'll settle for the Fire now and maybe I can sneak in a Synergy XT when Uncle Sam visits;)

Specs please.

You know,... Its Kevin's fault!
He had no long ATA bows for me to use as a baseline

All black.... way COOL!:cool:

[L-train]

So what makes one choose a 70 or 60, do you shoot in between weights, like 65?
No I sometimes think Id like to shoot Fita(60# max) and if its a target bow 60 might be better, and hard to imagine my Envy not being my huntin bow, its done me so well!

[L-train]

All black.... way COOL!:cool:

Thats me:eek::p:p:p:p:p:p
The perfect gnd blind bow too.

[Michael]

Hey buddy, this isn't a hypothetical thread... make a decision!:D

[Ultramax]

One of each would be nice, but I'll settle for the Fire now and maybe I can sneak in a Synergy XT when Uncle Sam visits;)Yea I hadnt even thought of that option. One of each for me too please.

[BAArcher]

The older I get....60lbs seems like it will be the ticket! With the performance you can get out of an Elite I think that would do the average bowhunter/3D shooter.

[L-train]

Hey buddy, this isn't a hypothetical thread... make a decision!:D

:o Im sooooo confused:confused:

[Michael]

60# is all I need. It is great for target, and even better for hunting. How much more do you really need?

[KDS]

Specs please.


Oops:o 27.5" 60#'s on both. Fire is AT edition with G1 limbs (arriving soon)
XT (maybe) will probably be the same AT and G1 so that way I can swap them out and maybe the wife won't notice;)

[TEXAS 10PT]

Yeah a 60# GTO shooting a 400 gr arrow!!! That might be close to 290fps:eek:

TEXAS

[BAArcher]

:o Im sooooo confused:confused:

OK, I'll go with 65!

[L-train]

OK, I'll go with 65!

Naw if I got 70# limbs I shootem maxed, ;)

[BAArcher]

I did 80lbs in the past but after two rotator cuff repairs and a hip replacement,...... I call it physical wisdom!

I completely agree!!

[willthebad]

i would get the Aigil for sure...and I would love to have a GTO when it comes out but Im a broke college student so i dont think Ill be getting either of them soon or in the near future:(

[Mxracer532]

GTO without a doubt! Its the Hot Rod so u know its gonna be the shiznit!

[slink]

Extreme XL

[Archer 1]

I was planning on getting an XT for hunting but since I only shoot 60 lbs and I AM A 28" draw,the Fire has really got me thinking of going with that.I'm also waiting to see the XL.I have an 07 target Synergy for 3-d and will probably stay with that for this year since I didnt get it till the end of the season.Since I'm left handed,I will be waiting a little while longer than most of you.

[Maybee-R]

Ill wait this time. Until I see the GTO. I dont need one, but if its what I think it is I will get it.

[Takeum]

I want an All Black GTO and a Red 60lb Fire for 3/D... Smokin!

[BAArcher]

Im a broke college student so i dont think Ill be getting either of them soon or in the near future:(

Save your pennies now! There are so many AT members that buy a bow only to sell it two months later when it is not very accurate! Never mind the fact that they suck at archery! Set your sights in next summer and do some cheey picking from AT!!

[Bweger]

I am going to order the Synergy XT- 28" dl,70#, not sure about camo pattern. Any suggestions.

[LUCKY II]

G1 pattern looks awesome!

[Tough Antler Tees]

I want all of them! I am addicted & I still don't own a bow yet!:D
Just ask my wife!:D

I am so excited for you and am enjoying your enthusiasm. It is hard to decribe the inner feeling you get while bowhunting where you have to get real close to the game. You will feel that too. Enjoy the ride because once you take the path you may never turn back. You also couldn't have decided to pick a better bow/company for your first one. Welcome to bowhunting:cool:

Thanks Texas 10PT! I haven't been this excited for a looooong time. I just wish I would've picked up the sport sooner. I just turned 45, but I'm feeling like a kid again!:D (Mid-Life Crisis maybe?):D

That is the great thing about archery, you don't have to be a teen to start. 45 is still very young. You should look into motocross, the "old guys" class starts at 25.:eek:

I picked up an XT last week and my Xl should be in this week...I hope I get the call before Turkey Day.

[jcsck5]

I am getting the fire set up will be 60# 27.5"draw full camo,with the limb driper pro and spot hoggit hunter sights.

[Bretz56]

My XT AT will be here tomorrow in 29" 60#. I have not shot Elite since I traded Takeum for a muzzleloader, stupid me,lol!! Looks like he is addicted now:eek:

[Maybee-R]

I just called and asked my dealer to order the GTO. when they take orders. Its my Xmas present from my lovely Wife.:D:D:D

Just saw the pics and the specs. I would love to shoot the new GTO!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

[Maybee-R]

[2Racks]

I would love to get the new GTO but I still haven't got to the 50# mark yet so I'll probably end up getting myself the FIRE to go next to my ICE in the case. Anyway I go its a new Elite and all is good! ;) :D

[hockey7]

Ive got an extreme XT (left) on order, 29-70. Now I'm thinking the GTO, 29-60. I'm 52, and although the 70 feels fine when the weather is mild, and the body is warm. Maybe on those cold days, the 60 would be easier.

[lonehara]

Well, when I get it will have to meet up and let you shoot it.:D

Just Holler - It would be well worth the drive:cool:

[lonehara]

The more looking that I do I think the Xtreme XL would also be a great forgiving bow with plenty of performance. Those are some pretty impressive numbers for an 8" brace height:cool:

[machinegun74]

Aigil, I want to shoot one really bad but I aint driving 200 miles to see if its worth it to replace what Ive got now.
