    Not sure if Maryland has any Elite dealers but we have several Maryland customers coming to Red Lion, Pa for there Elites and all have been very happy. Yes as said before they come with great limbs and strings and the risers are machined. Nealy I believe was formerly with Winners Choice Strings is now making Elite Strings and cables. I've started shooting these bows when they first came out and I've never looked back. They seem to fit me better than other bows.

    Hi, new member here. I'm looking for a new bow this year and I'm very interested in the Elites. First question, what kind of warranty do they have? Second question, where can i get one near Atlanta, GA?

    Like mtdawg169 & swampybuck, I am both new to this forum and Elite arhery. I have serveal bows; Mathews, Hoyt, Ross, etc. and hunt North America and Canada. Currently, I am looking for something different for 08'. I have read many reviews and blogs concerning Elite but can not "yet" find anyone who dislikes their purchase. I love the look of the bow but will have to drive 3+ hours to shoot it. Could anyone please give me thier take on Elite based on personal experience?

    Also, Nosed in on the poll and Hunt-N-Shoot is great. If thats where you go, opt for the spot and stalk. You will see alot of hoggs and is very challanging. They also offer exotics at a great price.

    I like the bows enough to travel a good distance to purchase second one and may have to put the mileage on again to try a GTO I used to wait 3-5 years between bows but every time I shoot a new Elite I get the jones. the only problem I've ever had is the Vapor trail strings on my Synergy being remedied right now with a suprise gift from wife [she ordered new WC strings in my colors with out telling me]you cant go wrong with Elite fast ,beautiful and most Important deadly.

    Likely, if you're experiencing difficulty finding reviews from those who dislike their purchases, it may be tough to find negative reviews. The positive reviews actually are from personal experience, most likely. I have an '07 Elite Synergy, and I love it. And the '08's are supposed to be even better...

    There's not really much to say about Elite bows that isn't great...

    I was kind of in your boat I live here in Oregon which is not but one state away from where Eite's are made but was unable to find a dealer within a reasonable distance. So I took the plunge after doing research and reading posts and bought my first Eite (number one in my Sig.) online. I have never been dissapointed with my purchase. I will not hesitate to purchase another one.
    If the drive is reasonable make it if not buy one anyway you won't be dissapointed.
    Their name really say's it all "Elite"
    I say what I say because it is how I feel, you can look at my Sig. at the bottom and tell I am not brand loyal. I shoot what fits and Elite's are a one size fits all bow.

    OBH
