I started looking for a bow a couple weeks ago. I was specifically looking for an ELITE bow. Looked at the new ones and then went on AT and did some research. Come to find out the older ELITES are just a good as the new ones. Some say the old Z28 or the GT500 are still better. I ended up finding an 09 GT500 in real good shape on AT in the classifieds. So I negotiated and got her at a good price. Right before the guy from the shop boxed it up to ship to me. He realized he listed the wrong draw length it was actually 29.5 not 29. So long story short he ordered brand new cams for the bow and installed them at no additional charge. ELITE also has a lifetime transferable warranty. 8) Got her all set up tonight and paper tuned. Gonna get her dialed in on targets tomorrow hopefully. So here she is!
Black riser and camo limbs
Sword Hunter 5 pin sight
Limbdriver rest
Stokerized black 10 inch stabilizer

Nice looking bow, Everyone seems to really like the Elites once they shoot one. Now you just need to find a spot that has a few deer ;D.

Did sword switch from the twist to push lights on there site one thing I didn't like about mine was it was a turn and came on all the time.

Thanks everyone. Put about 50 shot through it today. Real solid backwall and fast. I am shooting it right now with no string silencers and its still pretty darn quite. I will be shooting a good bit at Techno hunting and 3D shoots this year in the down time.
Now you just need to find a spot that has a few deer ;D.
Your telling me. ;D ;D

No its still a twist to turn on deal. Hopefully that does not become an issue seems to take a good bit to turn it on. That may change after using it a while though.
