    What are the differences between 08.5 and 09?

    Kevin added ~0.020" to the draw stop slots on the 09 Rev cams providing more valley.

    They were having some CS issues do to spacers also. So much so that Elite had "spacer kits" to fix the problem. I read that they fixed that.

    How would you know if you were looking at a 09 GT500?

    I was wondering the same thing. My bow didn't come with anything when I bought it. All I got was a receipt. No certificate, manual, instructions, warranty paperwork. Nothing. I bought my bow on December 23, 2008. I have no idea if it's a 08.5 or 09. Guess I'll never know.

    Is there a list of serial#s that could tell an 08.5 from an 09? Mine is 750599, if anyone could tell me. Thanks, Ray.

    See thread from clay38 on Page 6 as I reply on this---Kevin has posted on this thread already. Basically, if your string has 4 rubber speed nocks on it, it is a 2009. The number of dots on the cams only relate to specific cam for draw lengths---Hope this helps!
