Jeff,
Though we have been emailing a bit lately I want to say "welcome back" to the forums. I have been absent quite a bit for the last year or so but now that you are back.....
Thanks Frank- really appreciate it, and nice to be back. I cannot believe how "dead" this place has been the past week or ten days I've been here[:'(]
Congratulations on the new bow. Admittedly, I have never tried any of the Elites and don't know of anyone in my immediate area that carries them. I will have to do a little diggin' and see if I can find someone because you have my interest piqued.
I do wish you would have had the chance to try the Black Ice and the Carvnivore 31 or 34. If a smooth draw cycle (along with all the other "goodies") is your cup of tea then these two would have really appealed to you. I am not giving up my Carnivore 31 for anything. That is is one wonderful to draw and shoot bow. If it is, in large part, the result of the Crank then I would love to seeif it could be incorporatedfor the Binary or Single cam lines as well.
Thanks and I would have loved to try even more bows, but I'm more than OK with what I picked out- very impressive
As I stated in our emails, my only concern and "bias" was going to be price, and due to some good fortune and a good friend in the shop owner that never came to be an issue either. I simply went in basically "blind" and went with what shot/felt good for me, regardless of the name on the limbs, advertising/marketing, forum drama queens or "my weiner is bigger than yours" threads.For me- Elite came out on top, with the Alphamax 35 just a hair behind. The Z28/AM32 were pretty even as well. I wasn't enamored of anything else enough to lay down the cash save perhaps the Dream Season from PSE.
I would liked to have tried the Ross as well, as the original CR337 I had was a magnificent bow, but for whatever reason the shop did not have any (nor did I think to ask if they were getting any).
