[Michael]

It's here !!!!!!!!!!!!

MSRP please.

[Chance]

Wow, very nice looking bow.

[Elite_Brad]

It' here !!!!!!!!!!!!

MSRP please.

We are still working on it. It will be a little above the SynergyXtreme.

[Robbo]

Sweet...can't wait to see them down here in Oz..

[Takeum]

Looks like an Envy riser with fire cams,,, No,, It's a Synergy with Fire cams,,, No,, wait,,, wait,,, It's a Fire with Gto Riser,,,, lol,,,, No,, It's a GTO with GTO cams,,, yea,, THat's the ticket,,,,,,Looks sweet! I want one,, any discounts for Elite Forum members? lol

[disturbed13]

huh
so there is such thing
it looks like the fire riser
with your wheels again

[Scottie/PA]

Does it come with the Bow Jax on the limb pockets and limbs?

[Ultramax]

Very nice cant wait to hold it in my hand!

[Takeum]

I love the added limb pockets,, makes for a stable limb and riser,, actually helps align the Limbs to the riser better,,,

[Ultramax]

Does it come with the Bow Jax on the limb pockets and limbs?Im wondering that too.

[L-train]

Now I can make a decision, sweet!!!!!

[$mitty05]

you know im actually kind of disapointed. with all the hype on here about it i was expecting something like 360fps-370 fps. all the hype for a bow that is actually rated slower than the envy. its a nice looking bow and all but i think i like the envy alot better. plus the envy has more vibration dampening on it.

[Ultramax]

[wolfdenbowstrings]

Anyone notice in the pic it has dual sets of speed nocks on each end of the string.It appears there are 4 on each end 2 sets of 2 with maybe a 2" gap between them!One sweet looking machine!

[Rattler]

Very Nice!!!!

[Playingthewind]

What will it do at 65% let off? Is it the same riser as the Envy with the new cams?

[Ultramax]

Anyone notice in the pic it has dual sets of speed nocks on each end of the string.It appears there are 4 on each end 2 sets of 2 with maybe a 2" gap between them!One sweet looking machine!I noticed that too. I figured Kevin found a sweet spot for them that maximized the speed gain.

[Archery-Addiction]

So, tell me this! It is pretty much the exact same specs as the xt, but 10fps faster. They are claiming that it is smoother too, how does that work?

[L-train]

What will it do at 65% let off? Is it the same riser as the Envy with the new cams?

Thats not a Envy riser.

[Bretz56]

Nice, but looking forward to shooting the synergy extreme tomorrow!! Please be early UPS LOL!!! Thanks L-Train for hooking me up!!

[trophytaker75]

String nocks look the same as the ones in the xt pics.I would say the riser is a little moore deflexed and the limb deflection and angle is a little different that is were the extra 10 fps comes in it is a nice bow.I was hoping for something a little faster but i guess this will have to do ok i need a dealer that will take my AT Synergy on trade for a new GTO.

[TexasCanesFan]

I like it much better than the looks of the Envy.

More speed than my 07 Synergy and not $1000.

Sounds like a winner!!!!!!!!!!

[Maybee-R]

Wow! I'm impressed. wonder when they are taking my order? Oh I mean orders?

[Cheyenne19]

80% let off is nice. Sweet looking bow, but I didn't expect any less.

[Elite_Brad]

Does it come with the Bow Jax on the limb pockets and limbs?

That is an option on all 08 bows.


MSRP added to specs

[TexasCanesFan]

That is an option on all 08 bows.


MSRP added to specs

Now can you please explain why it is called a GTO?!?!?!?!?!?!?:confused:

[trophytaker75]

msrp on the xt is $759 i would imagine it will be close to $800

[L-train]

Nice, but looking forward to shooting the synergy extreme tomorrow!! Please be early UPS LOL!!! Thanks L-Train for hooking me up!!

Your welcome, post up your thought when you get some arrows thru it!!!!

[KDS]

Looks like my newly aquired Synergy is going on the selling block;)

[Elite_Brad]

Now can you please explain why it is called a GTO?!?!?!?!?!?!?:confused:

There is actually no meaning to it.

[Tough Antler Tees]

That is one sweet looking bow & the specs cover a full range of shooters! I got a couple of local dealers getting Elites, but one is not placing an order until the GTO is ready for production. So, make sure Spokane Valley Archery is first in line to get one, so that this new guy (but highly addicted already) to archery can shoot all the Elite bows & decide which one(s) he will order!:D

[Elite_Brad]

Orders are already stacking up for them. :)

[L-train]

Brad will you be updating the spec sheet with all draw lenght specs?

[Maybee-R]

Orders are already stacking up for them. :)
Shuffle the stack.:D:D

[KDS]

Orders are already stacking up for them. :)

Do you have any idea when they will start shipping? If I'm wanting one around Feb. when should I order?

[Elite_Brad]

Do you have any idea when they will start shipping? If I'm wanting one around Feb. when should I order?

We will start shipping them the first part of December.

[Elite_Brad]

Brad will you be updating the spec sheet with all draw lenght specs?


Yes we will.

[willthebad]

340-350 w/ 80% letoff...that's insane!

[Archery-Addiction]

Hey Brad, can you tell me what the GTO has for reflex? Is it more, less, or the same as the xt? Also, is the msrp of 799.00 with all the bowjax, or no?

[Playingthewind]

Still would like to know if it will perform better or not at 65% let off.

[mobow]

I like that....I'm wanting a screamer, and this certainly fits the bill.....I look forward to shooting one.

[dch3k]

wish my DL was longer :(

[hockey7]

I heard your going to run a limited number of lefties first, right?

[Elite_Brad]

Hey Brad, can you tell me what the GTO has for reflex? Is it more, less, or the same as the xt? Also, is the msrp of 799.00 with all the bowjax, or no?

The price is without the damping kit. Kevin should be logging on tonight to address the performance questions.

[TEXAS 10PT]

I'm assuming that since the Envy had all the gold/copper coloring that was part of the "limited edition" package? I do like the cut outs on the riser of the new GTO as it looks similiar to the Fire. Will the speed be 4fps less on 60 lb limbs?

TEXAS

[bowhunter79]

I just wish it would go an inch longer on the draw length then I would have my new hunting bow picked out.

[Ultramax]

Just for fun I calculated a GTO with 90lb limbs at 30"DL and at 450gr. 107lbs of K.E. at 327fps. :eek::eek::eek:

[lonehara]

Your welcome, post up your thought when you get some arrows thru it!!!! I don't know Train. I think I am still lovin my Envy.

[Takeum]

THey'll have to bury with my Envy,,, I love this baby! You can have your GTO,'s, and I can still have my Envy with a LS-6 454 engine.. Vroooommm Vroooooomm! whacka whacka whacka,,, lol,,

[Archerykid1]

can't wait to hear how it is compared to the extreme as the extreme is a awesome bow! pull wish and vibration?

[Elite_Brad]

The price is without the damping kit. Kevin should be logging on tonight to address the performance questions.

I suppose I should clarify myself. The bows come stock with the E-Suppressor and bowjax on the limbs.

[Bullzeye]

I would like to say thank you to the whole elite team for this new line of bows and for this awesome forum!

I can't wait to go shoot these bows. Looking good Kevin!

[lonehara]

I agree Andy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I will probably change my mind once I shoot a GTO but it will have to prove itself to me first.

[Elite_Kevin]

For those of you saying you expected more, go shoot any bow you can find compared to the GTO at the same measured draw length and draw weight, and then decide for yourself if it measures up to your criteria of FAST.

The GTO draw lengths are +/- .125 within AMO standards, AMO draw length is measured from the pivot point of the grip to the valley at full draw, plus 1 3/4". A bow with an AMO draw length of 29" would measure 27 1/4" to the grip at full draw.

When comparing bows for speed make sure the measured draw length is the same as the stated draw length.

The GTO riser has .305 less reflex than an 07" Envy so it will be a little more forgiving, it is faster than an Envy at any measured draw length by about 4-5 fps, this is also with 80% let off.

Our reps that have shot the GTO think the GTO is easier and smoother to draw than a 08' Synergy Xtreme.

[Cheyenne19]

That's awesome Kevin. We all appreciate the hard work you guys put in to this line up of bows. I'm proud to be an Elite owner.

[Michael]

The reps get to shoot them! Make sure my rep has one and stops by to see me real soon.

Resume sent Kevin!:D

[Ringtail]

[Bullzeye]

I have been shooting single cams for several years, how do these elite binary cams draw vs. my 05' Switchback? Anyone shot the switchback vs. an elite?

[Cheyenne19]

I have been shooting single cams for several years, how do these elite binary cams draw vs. my 05' Switchback? Anyone shot the switchback vs. an elite?

To me, my envy is smoother. My switchback falls off hard. The Envy is firm to the back wall, with a small valley. It was different at first, but I like it a lot better now.

[TEXAS 10PT]

I have been shooting single cams for several years, how do these elite binary cams draw vs. my 05' Switchback? Anyone shot the switchback vs. an elite?

I got rid of both my Switchbacks to get Elite bows. The draw is a little stiffer but its not harsh by any measure. People think that to get the speed that these bows produce it will pull your arm off to draw it back but that couldn't further from the truth. I've got a 70lb Synergy that I really enjoy shooting. Once you get used to the draw you forget what the Switchback even felt like.

TEXAS

[Takeum]

me too,, sold my 05 switchy and converted to a Synergy, then a Envy,,, I still have an LX if you want it though Cheyenne,, lol

Ordered my setup today at Spokane Archery:
• Elite GTO (Riser, Limbs and Strings all black)
• Spot Hogg SDP Wrapped (black)
• QAD Ultra Rest Pro HD (black)
• Carbon Tech “Panther” 400 Spine Arrows with Blazer Veins
• Shuttle T-Lock Broadheads (100 grain)
• E-String Suppressor
• SKB Hardcase
• Stabilizer: Fuse Axium Sidekick (black)
• Fuse 4 Arrow Quiver

Hope to have it first part of December for my mule deer hunt in NM.

[Takeum]

Holy Moly,, sweet! I can't wait to see pictures of that Ninja Bow,, i have a Ninja Envy,, sorta,,, check it out!

[Elite_Kevin]

I am definitely happy about the DLs being that close to AMO standards. Too many of the bow companies are just making the bows DL longer without saying its any longer to exaggerate their speeds.


That is why I made the draw lengths AMO, I know it is depressing for people to purchase a bow because of a SPEED rating then realize you have to drop down a 1/2" or more shorter mod or cam, the speed you were so proud of now is a lot slower than you were expecting.:eek: I want the person who spends their hard earned money on an Elite product to be happy with their purchase.:D

Kevin...you make such great bows that I don't think you could ever disappoint anybody who bought one. I'm sure glad I tried one in March of this year because I've never shot anything better....well I don't have any 08's yet:D

TEXAS

[Elite_Kevin]

For those of you that like me love Kinetic Energy, I was playing around last week and decided to shoot a variety of arrow eights out of a GTO, here are the results.

70# 29" draw
350 gr= 337 fps
400 gr= 318 fps
450 gr= 301 fps
848 gr= 223 fps

70# 30" draw
350 gr= 352 fps
400 gr= 332 fps
450 gr= 313 fps
848 gr= 235 fps

I think these are sufficient for any game most of you hunt.

[gkk12856]

Holy Moly,, sweet! I can't wait to see pictures of that Ninja Bow,, i have a Ninja Envy,, sorta,,, check it out!

That's a cool looking bow you have there Takeum! I've been shooting Hoyts but when I recently shot the Envy everything changed how I viewed the top 3 bow manufacturers. Give Elite 5 years and they'll be in the top 3,for sure. Now I have to find a black quiver for my ninja bow! Any suggestions?

[Michael]

848 grains! We call that rebar here in Ohio. Holy crap that is heavy, and the sad part is it's still faster than my last two indoor bows.

[Elite_Kevin]

And it went through two targets and almost the door behind it.:D

Good thing no one was in the other room.:eek::eek::eek:

[Michael]

May I have that arrow? As a structural engineer, I am sure I can put it to good use.... wait a minute... nevermind, I couldn't afford the shipping cost.:D

Looks like a 60 lb. GTO would make a very good hunting bow:cool:

[Ringtail]

I'm thinking 64#s........:D

[jamb]

But how is the valley ? I actualy had an envy in my hand and was ready to buy but to be honest I thought the valley could have been a lot better , at full draw if you creeped a 1/32 you were already going through with the shoot.

i would like to see it take on the apa black mamba x1 in speed. i wonder how close they would be?

Kevin and co....would you be able to shoot a 60# GTO at 29"AMO with a 390 grain arrow please?

[$mitty05]

when will the gto be at our dealers to try out?

[shootstraight]

Kevin, you're making me wonder if I should have waited for the GTO instead of ordering the XT :confused:

[Jerry/NJ]

Kevin, you're making me wonder if I should have waited for the GTO instead of ordering the XT :confused:

OH :eek:, I am pizzed that I didnt wait and bought the XT. The GTO seems much more to my liking. Anyone wanna buy an XT? :confused:

[shootstraight]

I guess I was thinking, with speed comes harsher draw but if you're saying smoother and faster. :eek:

[Maybee-R]

This is what happened to me last year I buy a Synergy and the Envy come along. This year I decided to wait.
I wonder if the price was AT or the Camo on the GTO?

[L-train]

Kevin, could we get some speeds at 27", very impressive indeed, kudos on the DL issue, very stand up thing to do. This is why Elite ROCKS!!!!!

[Soumi]

Oh Geez! How am I going to decide now? GTO or Fire? For a 26-26.5" draw which will be the all around better shooter, speed, forgiveness, quietness? I want a fast quiet bow. And does it come in target colors?

[Elite_Brad]

This is what happened to me last year I buy a Synergy and the Envy come along. This year I decided to wait.

The price is for the Camo.

[fourbarrel]

Looks great guys I think my synergy is going to be sitting the bench when I get my new gto

Yes it is available in target colors.

[shootstraight]

OH :eek:, I am pizzed that I didnt wait and bought the XT. The GTO seems much more to my liking. Anyone wanna buy an XT? :confused:

I got lucky, my XT hadn't been shipped yet so I changed the order to a GTO :cool:

[Bretz56]

I got my xt via ups this morning and have no regrets what so ever. This bow is a work of art. I do believe I will be selling my Switchback Xt to purchase the GTO.

[Luckiduc13]

Well its not exactly what I expected, but she'll do.

[elite500]

All I want for Christmas is the GTO!!! The bow pictured is what I'd like. That bow ROCKS.

[Rattler]

Torn is what I am! :( I want the Extreme XL, but man do I like the looks of the GTO. What do I do?????? :confused:

[Cheyenne19]

GTO, what's to lose?

[Rattler]

I wonder how the draw is compared to both of them. If it is the same then the GTO is a no brainer

[badfisherman]

how is the bow PICTURED PRICED?

[Elite_Brad]

how is the bow PICTURED PRICED?

Thanks for the heads up..I added the price to the first post which is $759.00

[Bweger]

I was gonna order the XT but I think I just chnged my mind.

[Wilderacing]

Do you have pictures of the GTO in all camo?

[Shaft]

I have a question for Brad or Kevin. Is the GTO going to be made in a L.H. version? Which Elite's are going to be offered in L.H. ?

[badfisherman]

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES IN THE g1 AND THE at?

[Archery-Addiction]

AT is the black riser with camo limbs
G1 is a camo pattern

[Luckiduc13]

I have a question for Brad or Kevin. Is the GTO going to be made in a L.H. version? Which Elite's are going to be offered in L.H. ?

I'm almost 100% positive that all models will be offered in the left hand version.

[Elite_Brad]

Do you have pictures of the GTO in all camo?

We will soon.

[ZA206]

Hi Brad.

I'd like to know the availability of lefty versions of the GTO. When you guys gonna have them ready?

Also... when are you guys switching camo patterns to G1 (as someone stated in another thread)?


Thanks.

-ZA

[Ringtail]

Welcome Aboard ZA206....

I believe the G1 camo is now.

Southpaw...don't know.

-ZA

Welcome ZA...glad you could make it:cool: There are already bows going out in the G1 camo. IE Synergy Xtreme. As I have heard they are going to fase out the Fall Leaf next month I believe which saddens me because it is a very unique pattern. I believe you can still get it if ordered now but it won't be around for long. It must be tough being a lefty shooter and harder to get bows but the wait in this case may be worth it. Take care.

TEXAS

[bponb]

First timer. Bought a Synergy earlier this year and am not looking back. Greatest bow I have ever owned and I have owned allot. I was able to harvest the best buck I have ever taken this year. "Synergized" on 11/05/07

You now have me looking at the GTO and I am thinking Mrs. Claus just may have to deliver a beautiful bouncing new bow for Christmas.

[Clean Shot]

I am very pleased that it won't be $1000.00!

[GSLAM95]

I have been shooting single cams for several years, how do these elite binary cams draw vs. my 05' Switchback? Anyone shot the switchback vs. an elite?


My dad always said the only dumb question is a question not asked..;)

In my opinion the the draw cycle is totally different on a switchback in comparison to any Binary cam bow. The draw cycle is stiffer on the Synergy but I have become quite comfortable with the back wall on this bow and the speed is not even comparable from a single cam to the binary. If you have shot nothing but single cams in the past few years then you will most likely have to give it 1 -2 weeks of becomiing comfortable but after that I doubt that you will miss your switchback.

[Playingthewind]

Welcome aboard Slam.Nice to see people making the move to this forum from A.T.I agree with your assesment of single cams versus binary too.It just takes some getting use to but the performance gain is hard to beat.Did you kill a good one in Illinois yet?

[ZA206]

Good to see you around GSLAM... and you too TX10point.....

L-Train's been working me over on the GTO.... well... feeding my interest is more like it.:p

Great looking bow with just STUPID specs. You did some FINE work this year Kevin and gang!

Brad or Kevin,

What would you expect a GTO speed at 28" draw with 70# limbs to be?

Thanks in advance.

BPONB

[Rattler]

AT GTO here I come.......Now if my wife dosent read this! :D

[Wilderacing]

Is the draw length adjustable with mods similar to my envy?

[Michael]

The adjustment will not be like the Envy, they will have individual mods for different legths.

[Jerry/NJ]

So to clear any misunderstanding, this bow will be the person's AMO DL at 80% let off with a nice valley and hard wall right from the factory?

[Bullzeye]

Brad or Kevin,

What would you expect a GTO speed at 28" draw with 70# limbs to be?

Thanks in advance.

I sent Kevin a PM asking about the difference in Speed/KE for a GTO @ 28" DL, 60# vs 70# limbs, with arrows weighing 300 gr. to 400 gr. He said he would do it when he goes back to work Tue or Wed.

[disturbed13]

what no camo pics?
come on!
show us that baby dipped for the woods
and ready to put that trophy on the wall and food in our stomachs! :D

[deanno]

GTO is a great looking rig. Anyone know if the bow jax will be on the sides of limb pockets like the new synergy extreme? Personally, I don't care for that look but I'm sure they reduce vibe. Can't wait to shoot one.

Dude you have no idea. I cant sleep at night :mad: and its on my mind all day at work.:( Ill be glad when they start shipping. :D
I even saved the pic as a background for my computor.:confused::D

[Playingthewind]

I still would like to know the performance difference from 80% to 65% let off?Also does it change the draw length as well?

I'd like an answer to that as well.

[BAArcher]

I sure would like to see a GTO in NINJA!

[L-train]

Does the GTO have a rubber "boot" damper in the limb pocket ala Envy?

[BAArcher]

All of these new bow,....Each one more enticing than the last! Kevin, you are cruel!

[Cheyenne19]

Everytime I look at this thread I want it more. Why won't this thread go away.

[Elite_Kevin]

No, it doesn't have that "boot".

[archeryplus]

Kevin,
Do you find the two rubber dampers on the limb pocket locking bolts to work better than the one in the pocket?

[disturbed13]

it should
seeing as the rotating limb pockets act like a lever with the limb inside
when the arrow is shot
and the cams go up
the 'bolt end' would transfer alot of the power to the riser
thats power with vibration
now if there was some way to completely isolate the 'bolt end' of the limb and the bolt
you would erase almost all of the vibration that would have been produced by the shot
thats how i see it

[Elite_Brad]

That is one mighty fine looking set up!

When to my local Bow Shop. Asked about the GTO and was told they had not ordered any.:( What the heck,,,, I feel like I'm missing the boat. I want to get my hands on this fine machine.

Mine is the same way, had to order an XT just to try it out. Ended up buying it, I don't think you'd be displeased in any way.

[Maybee-R]

When can we see the GTO in camo?

[Bullzeye]

It's right here! >>--->


































What...you can't see it?? Must be good!

[Maybee-R]

Your a funny dude.:mad::p:D:D

[Bullzeye]

I'd like to see it too. I'm waiting for a dealer near me to get the GTO before I make the trip to go see the Elites for my first time. The only thing holding me from going now is 110 miles each way to the closest shop.

This is worse than christmas!!!

This is worse than christmas!!!110 miles? Elite is about that far from me. if they said it was ready I would make it a short trip.:D They could save some shipping cost also.;) But my dealer would probably have a cow.:(

Im not worried though. Like every other time I'm sure I will be happy with it.

[mtboho]

is the let off adjustable? ti looks as if it is to me but just wanted to make sure. Going to Idaho for a hunt...

[Elite_Kevin]

Yes the let-off is adjustable between 60-80%. if you adjust the let-off toward the 60% it will shorten your draw by approximately 1/8"-3/16".

[mtboho]

what is the measurement on the centershot? thanx for any info. I can't wait till it hits the market in left hand I will have pics of a 70 poun 28 inch draw AT versions to share with you all. thanx Travis

[jager1771]

Are there any G1 pic's??? please..... anyone?? Ordered it today.29/70 G1 GTO. But that all black looks so slick.....:confused::confused::(

[Elite_Kevin]

MTBOHO

The center shot is approximately 7/8"-15/16" enough clearance for any type or size of fletching.

[Chupacabras]

Kevin,
What kind of speed are you getting at 27.5 /60lbs/ 300grain arrow?
Joe C.

[ZA206]

Yo Kevin...

If I have a 28" true draw on my Bowtech Tribute (measured the other weekend).... from the throat of the grip to the nocking point on the string at full draw...

What drawlenght should I order on the GTO?

Thanks buddy!

Joe,

I'm going off my memory which sometimes forgets to hit the save button, I pretty sure it was around 318-322 fps. I am not at work today so I can't look at my testing sheets. I will verify this tomorrow.

-ZA

I may be able to help you with this one, I shot the 06 tribute and had to shoot it at 28" draw, my synergy extreme is at 28.5 inch draw and fits perfect.

[Elite_Kevin]

Yea the draw lengths on 08 Elite's run AMO.

[ZA206]

So a 29.5" GTO would be the ticket then? Sweet.

That's like finding a $20 on the sidewalk.:D

-ZA

[Takeum]

I have actually had both versions,, Black and Camo,,, I have to say the Black is the most durable finish I've ever had in any finish,,,, stuff is like triple coated and heat treated or something,, Made of Iron,,, I haven't one scratch on my Envy yet,,, Only part that's actually had any problem is the Copper cams and limb pockets had a few nicks,,, I'm thinking of having those done in Camo anyway,,,

[Bullzeye]

Yea the draw lengths on 08 Elite's run AMO.

Can you explain this a little more please.:(

[Michael]

Can you explain this a little more please.:(
AMO is true draw + 1.75"

True draw is the measurment from the deepest part (throat) of the grip to the nock point on the string at full draw.

[Bullzeye]

AMO is true draw + 1.75"

True draw is the measurment from the deepest part (throat) of the grip to the nock point on the string at full draw.



OK, I have never actually measured my bow at full draw. I shoot a Switchback at 28" DL. So would it be correct for me to shoot 29 3/4" DL on a 2008 Elite?

[Michael]

No, it will still be a 28. If you measure true draw of the Matthews it will probably be around 26.25-27, I don't know if they run long or not, it should be right at 26.25"

[Chupacabras]

Joe,

I'm going off my memory which sometimes forgets to hit the save button, I pretty sure it was around 318-322 fps. I am not at work today so I can't look at my testing sheets. I will verify this tomorrow.

My 2008 Aigil was true AMO draw length as well?

[Jerry/NJ]

Kevin,
Can you paleaseeeeee shoot a GTO at 60#, 29" AMO with a 400 grain arrow and let me know the speed .......

[Bullzeye]

I thought I would share this. Here are some numbers I asked Kevin for at 28" DL.

The GTO shot the following:
60# 28"
300 gr= 322 fps 69.0 K.E.
360 gr= 300 fps 71.96 K.E.
375 gr= 294 fps 71.99 K.E.
400 gr= 286 fps 72.67 K.E.

[gjs4]

I want to order one..wish there was a spec sheet...have an Aigil which i have not even broken in yet; but I am ready to by one of these (GTOs)..what kind of speed should i be getting with a 28" dl and a 5gpp, or 7 gpp arrow?

thanks

[Jerry/NJ]

60# 28"
300 gr= 322 fps 69.0 K.E.

or

60# 28"
300 gr= 322 fps 69.0 K.E.
360 gr= 300 fps 71.96 K.E.
375 gr= 294 fps 71.99 K.E.
400 gr= 286 fps 72.67 K.E.

[gjs4]

should i figure a 5 to 10 fps bump for 70#s or is it basically the same (due to gpp)?

[Archery-Addiction]

should i figure a 5 to 10 fps bump for 70#s or is it basically the same (due to gpp)?

On the other elites it shows a 4fps loss due to 60lb limbs, so you should see the same with this bow. I am soooo pumped for this bow, those speeds are great!

[lunghit]

Ok now I am confused with my draw lengths. I just put my tribute and Synergy on my draw board and measured from the deepest part of the grip to the string. On both bows it measured 27 1/4 inches. On both of these bows I have them set for a 28" DL. Why is it 3/4 inch off? And when I go to order a GTO what should I get?

[Michael]

If you are not over drawing it, that would be a 29" DL, but if you always shoot a 28, I think that is what I would order. Maybe order an additional set of 29" mods too, if you are not comfortable with your DL selection.

[lunghit]

OK. I think I will order the extra mods to go with it. I just looked at my Synergy and I am shooting it on the # 5 spot which is 28 1/2 " DL not 28, my mistake. My pro shop measured me with the wingspan method and said I have a 29 inch DL but I feel better at 28 1/2.

[Michael]

If you are set at 28.5, and your measurment is 27.25, I would order the GTO at 29. If the GTOs are set to AMO, then you will be fine, because that is where you are now.

27.25 + 1.75 = 29

You are set at 28.5 now which would look something like this.

28.5 - 1.75 = 26.75 + 1.75 + .5 for the manufacturer stretching the limits to keep speed up = 29:D

[lunghit]

Thanks for the info michael. Gets confusing but I think I got it :D. I cant wait to get this bow.

[Masheen76]

That is one sweet looking bow & the specs cover a full range of shooters! I got a couple of local dealers getting Elites, but one is not placing an order until the GTO is ready for production. So, make sure Spokane Valley Archery is first in line to get one, so that this new guy (but highly addicted already) to archery can shoot all the Elite bows & decide which one(s) he will order!:D

I concur with this post. So good Sirs, if you could be so kind as to get a GTO out to Spokane Valley Archery I think you will be selling them faster than you can ship them.:D

[Masheen76]

Man I can't help it,...I haven't even put my hands on one and I already want this bow.

Great job this year Elite Archery.

[Archery1st]

Looks like a sweet shooter! I hope the GTO lives up to it's touted numbers.

Okay, you're just being difficult AA...and I appreciate it :D

First off, it's about 3x5.5" on MY screen. That's not large by anyone's standards. :rolleyes:

Secondly, it's displayed with Macromedia Flash Player, which doesn't allow you to save a pic outside of a saved screen shot... :mad:

So, when do we get a LARGE fully G1 camo'ed GTO pic...

Something like the 648x972 pixel AT version on the first page of this thread...

Hello!
I am new to this forum,& I have been a Hoyt shooter for the past 7 years. I am not prejudice to any bow manufacture,but I have been loyal to hoyt. I have been looking at a lot of bows lately,& I had a chance to shoot some new hoyt & bowtech & PSE. I absolutely loved the 82nd airborne & the General from Bowtech. I thought I was going to buy one of these ,but I have heard a lot of rave here lately on the Elite GTO,and I would love to know how quiet this bow is,compared to the Bowtechs,what quality are the strings&cables,accuacy & so on and so forth. I live near Billings Montana & the nearest dealer is in Threeforks, which is about 150 miles away. If I can get enough positive feed back,I will call that dealer & ask if he has a GTO I could shoot.
Any & all info would be gratly appreciated , thank you

[titu]

Guys, I'm hoping the GTO will make it in the 2008 blindfolded bow test. As I know readers have to vote for bows to be tested. Last year the Syngergy smoked all but the X-Force. (in terms of speed).

I had Mathews and Hoyts. The Elites have been faster and easier to shoot than any bow I have ever owned. The components are top shelf and the service from Elite has no peer. I own two Synergys and have been placing mostly 2nd, 1st now and then at 3_d competions. For an old guy thats good stuff. The nock travel on an Elite is FAR superior to any Hoyt two cam bow. I have checked all the 2007 bows on a nock travel machine that I designed and built. The Elite draw cycle is smooth for a high performance bow and it is a rocket to shoot. It stays in tune also, does not need constant tweaking to maintain peek performance.
I have ordered, sight unseen, a new GTO. Will report on that when I get it. I have high expectations and expect Elite to deliver..again!
Good luck
oldbuck

[Snowking]

I think Elite should have sent out Demo GTOs to their dealers first. I know that is hard to do when you have paying customers. Their is allot more customers that would Order these bows if you could test shoot them first.

[Buckrub]

I hope a shop close to me in Michigan gets one.

[eagleclaw]

I don't have a Elite dealer near me. I live in Madras Oregon how can i buy one?

[the reaper]

[Elite_Brad]

You can buy from us directly or from any dealer. The dealers on the forum will be more then happy to help you out.

[quackho]

Until now that is. I am not loyal to one company but everytime that I compared bows, I always left with the newest Hoyt. Last weekend I had the pleasure of shooting Tuskbuster's GTO and although I had to drive for an hour and a half it was worth going twice that far. I have never been so impressed by a bows performance as I was that day. I really didnt want to spend more money this soon after Christmas but couldnt help it. When my GTO gets in we are ordering one for my better half. Thanks to Tuskbuster for being so Kind. Two more Bowhunters have now been converted to Elite.

[ThirdyPointer]

I just bought one sight unseen, and should be able to pick it up in a few days. Hope it's everything i've read about and a bag of chips, lol! I'm sure i won't miss my Drenalin after next week, it was a great bow, but more speed is needed! Yes, i've got the need for speed, reason why my friends call me speedracer at the shop, lol.

[Goatboy]

If you have a Elite dealer close to you go shoot the Elite line and I think you will be a convert like me. I have shot Mathews for the past 12 years and awaiting my first Elite (GTO). From the first shot I was very shocked at how nice they are.

[camoman73]

Gotcha goat thanks! I have one on order. Gto 28 1/2 draw 60-70lb. in camo! I cant wait!!!! I just hope the customer service is good , as im a new convert. Does it have a lifetime guarantee?

Nothing too,too bright like neons. Something that won't scare a deer though.

If you guys have not shot one of these yet you should really try to find one and shoot it I am loving this thig man. AWESOME !!!!

[bowbuster]

I have bought and paid for my GTO sight unseen and have never shot any Elite bows before. It will be a couple of weeks before it gets here. If you guys knew me, you would know what a big deal this is. My wife says that I am the cheapest SOB that ever walked the face of the earth. I prefer "dilligent about my finances". To order a bow without shooting 10 arrows out of it at least 10 times on seperate occations is unheard of for me. This bow and the reveiws on it have given me the Elite bug. I sure hope it will be well worth it.
