Did I make a good move? Just bought an 09 XLR to replace my Bear Attack...

[outlawdon]

Elite newbie here...Just bought a great priced 09 black 60# XLR on ebay. 27.5" DL with Cuda cams. I'm actually a 27" DL person so I'll see how this will feel with the longer DL. How do I go about switching DL if and when I need to? Do I have to replace the cam and can I do this myself with a portable bow press?

I bought the XLR to replace my 60# Bear Attack. It's a great, fast, quiet bow, but I'm more interested in accuracy since I do not hunt. I'm new to the sport but my main interest is in field and 3D archery.

Did I make a good move? It should arrive here in a few days.

And what can I expect in my shooting experience making this jump from a short axle hunting bow to a longer target bow?

I currently have the CBE single pin TEK Hunter XL target sight and a 12" B-stinger. Should I keep the B-stinger or switch to a longer front and side stab? I just shoot for fun so no limits on shooting classes and restrictions. I don't want to go crazy with a 36"+ stab...any moderate length ones that still produce good stable holds?

Thanks again for any help and I'm excited to be an Elite owner.

I cant answer all of your questions but im sure you will like you XLR, going from Bear to Elite im pretty sure you made the right choice, welcome to EAF

You made a very good move IMO. I have a 08.5 XLR and it is an awsome shooting bow. I use a 12" B-Stinger on mine with 14 oz's of weight and it seems to work very well. I use this bow for 3D and a little target, but really, it is a bow that can do it all. Not the fastest bow, but accuracy and forgiveness are as good as any bow out there!

For what you are using a bow for..Yes you made a good choice..The Bear attack is a killer bow!!!!But since your not hunting I can see its short comings for you

I have pretty much the same bow as you, but in a 27" DL. If you keep the 09 cams they are draw specific. The last time I ordered cams, the older ones were $50. I know if you upgrade to 2010 cams they are modular, but I'm not sure about the cudas. I absolutely love my XLR, and that sparked my other three Elite purchases last year. If you ever hunt with it be careful in a pop up (long ATA bumps the top of the blind).

i have had a bear the truth 2 and though it is a nice bow it doesn't compair to the XLR IMO i think you made one **** of a good decision (i think i spelled that right)

[woodbooger]

you tell us

[outlawdon]

Thanks guys! It sounds like I made a good decision to switch over to the XLR.

What kind of real world speeds do you think I'll get out of a 60# 27.5" XLR shooting arrows at 5 to 5.5gpi? I know it's not a speed bow but just curious on estimates. I know Elite has their specs online for different DL but seeing what you guys are actually hitting.

I get 280fps with 300gr Victory x-ringers out of mine.
