I bought a package deal Element through Cabelas this year. I shot several other top end bows and felt the Element was just as good as any of them, not to mention several hundred dollars cheaper. It is a great bow and I would have to say the best value on the market. It is about time that Bear started getting back into the ball game. My brother bought a new fully outfitted Hoyt this year for $900 and felt that he made a mistake after shooting my Element.I will upgrade the accesories though this year.
