Hello,
I just tested the new Prime bow and added the results to my chart.
If you like archery technical info this is for you.
Have fun and ponder the results!
Comments or questions are welcome

Any idea what the Pure would be? Thanks for posting this Oldbuck.

Hello,
I don't have one to test, but I think its a modified GT500 which did pretty good.

Ask Elite to send me one to test and I'll post the results.

I would really like to test the Tour, that looks like a winner!

thanks

That is surprising to see the Centroid is the same as the Vantage Elite Plus...and somewhat disappointing. I thought the Centroid would have been better. Maybe I don't understand the idea.

Exactly what I first thought. Quite surprising.
Ive only experience with the BT flex guard first hand, but this makes me think the flex and bent rods just don't unload as much side torque as a tilt tamer does.

Perhaps bc they are not so tuneable, just a solution "for everybody" ... I am anxious to try the Tilt Tamer myself Lonnie; how are you liking yours after those weeks tinkering?

Im really liking it.
One thing you will like Jav, is that the "limits" the slide can be set at, or full draw and at rest positions are controllable. So with your thin arrows and small vanes you can set the at rest position(probabaly close to where your offset rod had you clearance or closer) to eliminate some of the side loading, then of course the full draw can also be set.
I can't wait to hear what you think Javier, this is right up your alley.

Why not just offer a cable guard that has a bend to it? Would it not provide the same reduced torque and fletching clearance with out the added weight?

I had been hearing some really great reports on that bow (which it still may be) but very interesting findings.

No, the Tilt Tamer is a step ahead of the bent rods. Since at full draw the vanes projection would hit the cables, it allows for lesser torque; think that cables at full draw can be tuned/placed so that they are 1mm away from the shaft itself!
Go to its web page and carefully observ the video and you´ll see what we mean.
