Played around with an Elite E-500 today.
I was extremely impressed, to say the least.
It is extremely comparable to my Allegiance. The machining on it was fantastic, better than Ross even.
There was very little to no vibration at the shot, no recoil, and it was very quiet. It drew very smooth and had a very solid wall, which is something I liked.
It got decent speeds, not amazing, but definitely not bad. It was spitting a 393 grain arrow at 67# with a 28" draw 282fps.
All in all I was very impressed with the Elite. It was the first one I had had a chance to see in person and I definitely hope it isn't the last.
