About Elite
Shortly after the company was founded, it was sold to Elite Outdoors (in January 2009) and moved to New York. The company employs a lot of experienced archery professionals at all levels.
Elite Archery are not obsessed about manufacturing the fastest bow ever. While they offer fast speed rigs, their main motto is "speed without compromise". What that means is that this company will never sacrifice shootability over a few extra FPS just for the purpose of manufacturing the fastest rig.
Interestingly, Elite Archery is the first bow manufacturer to offer a transferable lifetime warranty. What that means is that it does not really matter whether or not you are the first owner of a bow or you bought it from the 7-th owner: you are fully covered anyway in terms of warranty. In addition, they offer a unique hunt guarantee: if you are in the woods and something goes wrong with your Elite bow, they will help you immediately. Once you call them and explain the situation they will set up a bow to your specs and will hand it to you to finish your hunt. Once your hunt is over, you simply send this bow back to them.
