Compound Bow Comparator

The Answer is Elite's response to customer feedback over the last few years. This bow seems to take everything shooters found really great about all their bows and puts all these technologies into one really great shooting bow for 2012. The Answer offers really great speeds, and smooth draw, one of the best back walls offered, and a silent release. The finish options are really great and are sure to offer many shooters exactly what they are looking for. The Barnsdale limb adjustable and options is very welcomed, but it would be nice to have a little wider range of draw lengths to accommodate more shooters. Overall, the Elite Answer deserves a test shot for anyone in the market for a new hunting bow. Read full review...

The Elite Pulse is a speed bow with an extremely smooth draw cycle and rock solid back wall. Typically, archers interested in speed had to compromise with a harsh draw cycle and a short valley. The Pulse does not have either of these issues associated with many speed bows. For shooters interested in a multipurpose bow that can be used in the field and on the course, the Pulse is a wonderful option. Although the bow does have a bit of handshock and noise after the arrow's release, this minor problem can be remedied with string silencers and a front mounting stabilizer. Those looking for a speed bow without the draw cycle of a speed bow may find the Elite Pulse exactly what they are looking for. Read full review...
