And besides Todd, you can shoot #40-45 and be quicker thanyour Hoyts on #50-55. We will have our first GT500 in the shop Tuesday. I'll let you know what the draw cycle feels like compared to the Bowtechs. Since I know you've drawn one of those. I remember your exact words too .

I'll be able to compare it to an Allegiance with speed mods. Since I had one of those for a few days. [8D]

I can shoot Hoyts fast cam without issue,the rollover is smooth as silk.

Bowtech and Pse KILL ME,even at low poundage.It isn't the poundage that gets me,the rollover(stackup) is what hurts.

Remember what I said about a certain youth bow hurting me.I was shooting the Hoyts speed cam at a higher poundage than my current setup without issue.

I LOVE the numbers and technology in the Elites,just really concerned about the stackup.
I can tell you that looks are deceiving. I bought a GTO earlier in the year. I thought it was a smooth draw; that is until I shot it side x side with the GT500. The GTO definitely stacks and the GT500 is stiff but smooth all the way back and the back wall is OMG solid. Mine from the factory is shooting on the low end of the speed range but just for soe numbers, 54.3#/30"/394 grains/278fps. At 61.2# it was 302fps.
