Default Elite GTO

Does anyone have one yet I am very interested in this bow, but there are no dealers in FL. I have heard the wait for one is extremely long to.

He's not realy a dealer I called him and he just sells a few out of his house he doesn't have any stock he just orders if you want one so no chance to shot one before buying.

Having been to the ATA show and shot many of the new bows there and other places, I can say that the GTO is the sweetest shooting speed bow in my opinion. It has the smoothest draw, nice valley, solid back wall and doesn't try to jump if you relax off the wall a tad. And it looks good to boot.

I would shoot that bow but I am forced into an XL due to draw length

I order one, Best bow of the year.

It has all the speed without the big clunk on the draw IMO. I am not sure how they did it, but it has one of the smoothest pulls I have ever felt for a speed boy.
Best Limb and string on the market today IMO

Germ, coming from a guy that was shooting a Ross I am impressed. For a speed bow to have a draw that would be pleasing to someone used to the silky smooth Ross draw says a lot. You'll have to let us know how you're shooting with it when you get it.

How long until you can get a lefty? I'm still waiting on a call from the local Elite dealer on a lh Synergy (don't think I'll be getting it).

Oh, and what strings are they using now? I know it used to be Vapor Trail, but they switched.

For some reason I am thinking WC strings and cabels. I think I am wrong, they told me and I forgot[&:] It's not on their site.
The draw on the GTO is "harder" than both my Ross bows, but it's consistant. I have fond many speed bows havea clunk or a "bump" in the draw cycle somewhere.

I should point out I like a consistant draw of the GTO and for a speed bow she's damn smooth IMO
