    Default Question for the Elite Gurus

    Without going into great detail. Ripped 2 distal bicep tendons in April....couldnt pull the Destroyer back! Bought a TenPoint but can't seem to enjoy it like the vert.

    How easy are the Elites (which models are the easiest?) to draw? Say 50 lbs?

    Thanks in advance!! SP

    Default no guru here

    but I would say the hunter or pure would be good choices. I have a 60# pure and it is a all day shooter.

    I'd start out with a 40-50 lb bow and go with the lightest draw weight to begin with.

    My Hunter was at 63lbs and I had a buddy draw it back and quessed 55lb.,My Z28 was nice too.
    My EFORCE at 58lbs is pretty easy to shoot all day long.

    Hopefully my Answer that is on order will be the best of all!

    I would say either Hunter, Tour or Pulse.
    Those are the three easiest pulling Elites out there.

    I had had shoulder surgery in January. I backed off my Z28 to about 52# and was shooting two or three arrows a day by April for about a month to build up my strength. I didn't want to push it as my shoulder got sore if I shot too much. Point is though my Z28 was very easy to draw @ 52#. I have cranked back up to58# now and love it.

    Of all the bows I've owned, it'd be between a Z28 and Pure. I have a Pulse too, and the draw is nice, but it's not as easy as the Pure. My Pure hits peak for a brief second and then starts falling towards the valley... truly draws easier than the max DW would suggest.

    I didn't have my drawboard setup when I owned the Z, so I can't really compare... but it was very very easy on the draw, IMO.

    I would suggest a Z28 if your set on an Elite or even smoother (I have owned both) is a Tribute with smooth mods. I have eight Tributes and 12 Elites. If interested in a Tribute let me know. Another single cam bow by Elite is the Aigil, which is the smoothest drawing solo cam bow I have ever shot. I had surgery years ago for a SLAP injury, torn tendons in my shoulder so I empathize with you. Do the PT and take it slow or you will be set back to where you started.
    15 Elites - 1 GTO, 3 E-500s, 1 Synergy, 2 SynXTs, 4 Envys, a 2008.5 Z28, 2 2008.5 GT500, a Aigil, Impulse
