RE: Played around with an Elite E-500 today.
The cam on the Elite's look like a Bowtech. Isn't there a lawsuit between Elite and Bowtech (patents)?
Also, I don't know much about pro shops, but I would think that Bowtech wouldn't allow or would greatly discourage their dealers from stocking Elite. That will probably be one of Elite's toughest challenges - gaining a foothold in proshops.
In my opinion, the most interesting thing to watch in the bow manufacturing world in the next 3 years or so will be the competition and back and forth between Bowtech and Elite.
