Elite features - anyone have a list, please?

[Steadyhand]

The Elite web site is good (I like it), and it has wonderful qualitative remarks about the new line (the GTO is missing), but what's really missing, and of course what I'm looking for, is a run down of specifics (what makes and Elite, well....elite):

A specific 'features' list of what's inside (source of limbs/finish/manufacture/strings, etc.) is what I'm looking for, please.

Many thanks,

ps - I'm eager to see pics of the new Fire in target colors, if anyone has them, yet.

Welcome Steadyhand!

The new website is nice but I agree, it's missing some good points. I think it needs more pics of bows, particularly showing the AT versions and target colors. The AT model is hot, and there aren't any pics of them. The old website had the target colors as well. I'm sure it's plenty of work designing the website, but in this day and age, it's critical. The forum is a great idea and sales tool for Elite. I'm really glad they added it. I'm sure they'll keep adding to the site as time goes. Got to get that GTO on there ya know.

BTW, I hope to have a target black Fire soon.

We all know that Elite used Barnesdale limbs and Nealy strings on their bows. These are top of the line components chosen to maintain a high standard of quality.

The machine work on the cams and riser is the best I have seen in archery, you can see the attention to detail that was used in the process.

The finish and appearance is flawless, this is a true custom bow and it shows just by looking at one.

Fit and feel was a goal used while designing the product line, just hold one and feel how the riser feels in your hand. It actually makes a reflexed riser feel like a deflexed riser. Shoot one and you will fall in love with the feel.

Performance speaks for itself! Shoot one of these, feel the shot and see what kind of numbers your chronograph spits out!! They are faster than they feel, My Aigil is just a quiet "thud" with very little recoil........Blazing fast!

The Company has some fantastic service and some of the nicest people I have ever delt with. Just give them a call and ask a question and see. Members on this forum make a great family to share info from the folks that shoot their product without the biased input of others from "other" forums. If you buy one, it will not be your last................Good luck

Thanks folks - I don't know much about Barnsdale or Nealy, but I'm sure companies like them don't rise to the top if it's not for good reasons, so I'm very satisfied.

I wouldn't be so needy, questioning here on the forum, if there was a dealer near me (I have never seen one up close).

I found a good Elite dealer up north and he'll ship, so I'll order a Fire in black!

Does anyone have a video of an Elite being shot? I found a few videos on YouTube of several makes of bow being shot, but no Elites. Some of the videos were quite impressive.

Couldnt have said it better myself. Except I have 2 target xls to be here soon I hope!

Choosing Barnsdale limbs sayes a lot from Elite to me, I own a Bowman Accuriser II and 2 pairs of Barnsdale ultra carbon (16" and 17" recurved) which are breathtaking !
And being a picky spottie and stringmaker myself, I found out that 24 strands of 452X is the best string material/strand count, which are same findings from Kevin I believe ...
How does the XL ninja looks like ?
Hope to be helpful.

Is there a Ninja bow being made? All black? Sounds cool.............

[Steadyhand]

Seriously, I'd love to order an all black Fire with 425 strings (black intertwined with black). Of course, all black accessories.


My first bow as a juvi was a Pearson Bushmaster and the only part that wasn't black was the three little sight pins of red, green, and blue! I miss that bow.
