My first Elite was a Synergy. Then I tried the Envy...fast, smooth, and so accurate. I sold all my other bows and have been only shooting the Envy for the past 4 years (I now own 4 of them). Great bow. I would really like to get the Pulse, but I don't know if I can bring myself to give up my Envy bows! I am glad to hear the new Elite bows are as good as the previous bows.
