maytom Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Of course I will try them both out before making a decision. Field & Stream did a 10 bow comparison in a previous back issue. Out of the 10 bows they shot and evaluated, the Bowtech and Elite rated #1 and #2. I have been a Mathews fan for over 15 years now, starting first with their Ultra-Light model, and still shooting their Switchback model now. Think the time has come to try something different.

jesse.james Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) The 10 fps won't make any real noticeable difference especially inside 40 yards. You want one that feels the best. For me it was the 2013 hunter. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2 Edited November 22, 2013 by jesse.james 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phade Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Shootability over speed any day from a hunter perspective. There's a reason most of the highly regarded hunting bows are not the speed demons of their respective year/generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogaard Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Recently, I was able to shoot the 2014 E35 and E32 bows. I'm looking to upgrade sometime early next year, and I'm sold on these Elite models. The 35 has an amazingly smooth draw cycle, the 32 is a little harsher towards the end, but it's smaller and faster. At the moment, I'm still leaning towards a 70# 32, but I haven't decided for sure yet. Edited November 22, 2013 by Sogaard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWGUNNY Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Accuracy is what it is all about. Speed doesn't deliver accuracy, comfort does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 A few years ago I ordered my Hoyt. While he was setting up my new bow the shop owner said, "have you tried one of these? I just got them in." I drew it and knew I had bought the wrong bow. My next bow after I get my kids outfitted will be an Elite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I wish there was an Elite dealer closer by me. It'd be nice to try one out. the new Energy 35 seems like a great bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycredneck Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 With my ridiculous draw length (31 1/2") I went with the Pure, limited in my choices but extremely happy with the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 How tall are you with that draw, gotta be 9ft tall! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycredneck Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Just 6' 3". I have a Bowtech and an Elite and really like them both but the Elite has a much better valley and letoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
