Germ,
I can respect that! I have shot most of the Elite bows from 2007 through present and I will say the GT500 is probably the most challenging one to shoot well. Having said that, it is an AWESOME bow but is a little more finicky and must be tuned a little more carefully to shoot well. Once it is tuned, it is a FLAT OUT shooter!
All of the '09 Elites have dual draw stops, so that back walls will ALWAYS be ROCK SOLID as they bottom out on the limbs. The depth of the valley is also controlled, to a degree, by the position of the draw stops so if they are not set properly the bow will be uncomfortable or challenging to shoot well. The other factor that will play into this equation is that a shooter has to know their draw length and have a solid anchor. It's all about the little things and having them all dialed-in!!
