Elite started in 2006. Their speed bow was the E-500( I just traded one for my new GT500 NVG predator bow) and their very similar in speed bow was the E-Force.( I have one) the E-500 was basically a souped up corvette version of the 06 Bowtech Allegiance and the E-Force was a souped up version of the 06 ,Bowtech Tribute. Kevin designed all of the above 4 bows, left Bowtech after designing their 06 lineup. The 06 Elites had barnsdale limbs, better grips, and were a faster bow than the Bowtechs.Here are my 06's so you can see the similarity of the bows with the Bowtechs.

Top one is the E-500 and bottom one is the more parallel limb E-Force. I prefer the E-Force over the E-500; hence trading it for my new GT500. I owned a new 06 Tribute and sold it this winter. I never liked the grip on the bow. The Elite E-Force is a WAY better bow imo than my 06 Tribute was. I love the E-Force. Faster too.
