Summary
Summary review written by our editors.

The Impulse 34 is a newly designed bow in response to the criticism of previous offerings being too slow. The 34 shoots a respectable 340 feet per second, while maintaining the draw cycle shooters have come to love with Elite. For those wanting a truly multipurpose bow, the Impulse 34 is one bow deserving of a test shoot. With 50-pounds of draw weight options, new camo patterns, two grip choices, and the ability to tweak the back end of the draw cycle, the Elite Impulse 34 can be personalized a great deal for each individual shooter. The price tag of $999 is a bit easier to justify knowing the Impulse 34 can truly do everything. Read full review...

The Elite Energy 35 is one of the most ideal bows in archery. It is touted as "probably the most shootable bow ever." The innovative Caged Riser is the first thing usually noticed about this bow, and quite honestly, can throw you off. Once you feel this rig, pull it back, and release that first shot, you are sold. This rig is strong, fast, and accurate, and the draw cycle is quite possible the smoothest available, and the shot is deadly accurateWith a 35" ATA, 7" brace height, 24.5" - 31" draw length, and a variety of peak draw weights, this bow will fit virtually any shooter, and definitely will fit into any situation. If you are looking for a rig that will get you noticed and step up your game, this could be it. From the 3D range, target range, or any hunting situation, this rig will satisfy almost everyone.
