How about a 36" ATA single cam bow? The speed thing is already covered with the other Elite's....Smooth and crisp!

Im ok with a longer style single cam bow. but I shot one for years still do in door. I switched to Elite because of the Binary type cam. Me my self will probably stick with the Binary for awhile.;)
But making a single might be a hit and miss with Mathews sticking with the single cam so adamantly.:D

Strange but true.....Not everyone in the archery world wants a binary cam bow. There are many thay just want a smooth, accurate well made bow that has some zip to it.
There will be a time when the quality of Elite's bow line will bring in as many shooters as the ones seeking performance.

Are you saying Elite's bows do not have performance? I don't understand what you were saying. Just my question, do not get offended.:)

What I am saying is that a good portion of the Elite shooters came here seeking a really fast bow ( they got it too). There are still some out there that appreciate a bow for other reasons (other than speed).
If you were to just let some hold and feel an Elite bow (not shoot it) their initial impression would be "wow"! The quality is obvious...attention to detail from the machining and finish of the cams to the well fit ergonomics of the grip.
There is also still a single cam market out there......adding a 36" quality single cam with the smooth "tuning free" feature would be something to think about. Just take the XL riser and rig one up.....I wonder if it would work?...........Brad, Kevin, Lorna?

I'm a little slow. I gottcha now.
I currently shoot a mathews, but am intrested in Kevin's take on the binary cam. I'm not a "speed freak", that was not my reason for looking into the Elite's. I just started reading about them in the last few months. It makes sence that there is less of a torque issue with this cam set up. I have not seen in person, held, drawn or shot an Elite, but I intend to. I will be shooting my 05' Switchback side by side since it is the only thing I have to compare it to. I don't know if that is apples to apples (single cam vs. binary cam), but it is all I have.
Sorry for taking over the thread.:o

Don't overlook the Aigil.....By bow's birth certificate says 300 grain arrow, 29" draw at 61.3lbs clocked in at 317fps. That is tack driving accurate too.

Or we could do the 36" Energy with the 6 1/2" braceehight and Aigil cams,,, Wonder if that would work,,, It did with the Envy cams,,,,

I have Energy riser, 80lb Impulse limbs with Envy cams. 27" with 350 gr arrow shooting 325 and is pretty smooth. I do have a Matthews Drenalin(300) & PSE X-force(328) but my favorite go to bow is the Synergy.

I'm with ya Lance, the Synergy is everything I want it to be and more. This is my first post as I used to shoot another brand, but Elite is the best I shot-speedwise and performance!
