    Not that I can see. I hear some say the slot for the draw stops are longer but I never measured them to find out. They dont look any different though.

    I recall Kevin saying the riser cut-outs were different & the riser shelf was a tiny bit flatter. The cams are the same between the 2 model years.

    Where is the riser cut outs different? This is a new one on me. and the shelf is the same also. I have seen some with a narrower shelf but they are not an 09. as far as I know.
    You guys talking about the GT500 or the Z28?

    I think they said riser cutouts were different on the 09Z then the 08.5. But should both be the same with 08.5 and 09 GT. Someone said Elite said that some of the risers with flatter shelf started on some of the newer more recent 08.5 right before the 09. But I could be wrong.

    I was thinking the 09 had rubber speed nocks on the string and the older ones had the ones with shrink tubing on them? Is this correct?
