Elite Option 6 Compound Bow

The look and feel of the Option 6 is most definitely Elite. However, the new adjustable roller guard system, split limbs, and faster 342 feet per second speeds really challenge what people have gotten used to from Elite in the past. The engineers did a nice job keeping the Option 6 a very shootable bow, and the increased performance is greatly appreciated for shooters wanting something a little quicker than the standard Elite offerings in the past. The price tag of $1199 is perhaps too high for an aluminum riser bow, and that may turn people away from Elite without even shooting the bow against the competition. In addition to the high price tag, there is a ton of competition when looking at a 32-inch axel-to-axel hunting bow shooting over 340 feet per second. The Option 6 is a great shooting bow, but it has a lot of competition, and many of those models are less expensive as well. Elite has marketed the Option 6 as an all around bow, good for all styles of archery, and that may help some shooters justify the price hike. For someone wanting a high end performance bow, the Option 6 is a great choice, but it has stiff competition as well... read full review
