Default RE: Who is the leader in bow technology right now?

I honestly think these new Elites are going to be a big hit. All of you guys that are currently shooting Bowtechs, I would love to see you pick up the new GTO and shoot it. You couldn't convince me that the GTO draw cycle, was a draw cycle on a 350fps bow. 350fps, with a 7" Brace Height!! That alone is impresssive. The Xtreme XL they make, is an 8" Brace, 36" ATAand 320-330 ibo [:-]. That's impressive.
Matt, the thing is that once you get away from these message boards, the average archer hasn't heard of Elite. They don't have enough dealers yet to be a dominant brand in the market. Their website lists a total of 8 dealers in PA! Not too mention that alot of guys that do stay "in the loop" witnessed what Kevin had done on a public message board and don't really trust him. For a man that designed bows for a certain company to turn around and trash talk everything that he had done just leaves a bad taste in alot of peoples mouths.

As far as the speeds go, yes, they are impressive, but they also aren't anything earth shattering either. The 101st has a 7-1/4" brace height and will spit out 340 f.p.s. The numbers are high, but alot of companies are catching up to those speeds now!
