Default Elite Archery?

What do you guys know about these bows?

http://www.elitearchery.com/

They looks awsome, but I haven't heard much about them.

Unfortunate story here. We were an Elite dealer last year, and those are just some awesome bows! The problem, however, is apparently the owners aren't very business minded. I've been hearing all kinds of rumors.....I've heard they were sold to Escalade Sports, makers of Bear Archery, I've heard they have closed the doors.....lots of rumors. But I can say this for sure....

We have been trying to get in contact with them for 2 months. They won't answer a phone, return a phone call, email.....NOTHING! Our rep told us that the repping company he works for has dropped them citing they haven't been paid in about 6 months....

They are dead ducks in the water from what we can gather. Too bad, though.

That is too bad, Mobow, they look awesome.

I found an 06 Synergy over on AT for $500 I was thinking of maybe finding a way to pick up, but if the company is folding or is close to folding I'll hold off on considering it.

I would. I can almost guarantee you won't get parts if something were to break. A buddy of mine bought an Energy last fall. It's an awesome bow, no doubt....He really likes it. Fast and oh my god quiet...but he's scared to death now about anything breaking on it. Lifetime warranty's don't mean squat if the company goes under. [&o]

Oh, I can also tell you they WEREN'T at the ATA show....hmmmmmm

Guys Elite is still alive and doing well. They have been going through some growing pains as to be expected with a new company and they recently moved to a larger facility, so that probably explains the inability to contact them.

Wash, the Synergy is an awesome bow. I recently shot one that was 29.5", 49" shooting a 340 grain arrow and it was clocking 284fps. And the draw was OMG butter smooth and exteremely shock free. If there was any bow that would make me switch from Bowtech it would be this one.

Mike, thanks for the reply.

I'll wait around a bit and see what happens. Maybe later this summer I'll see if I can find an 06' to pick up as a back up bow.

Mike, I agree 110% on the performance of these bows.....But I gotta tell ya, it ain't that I don't believe you.....But I don't believe it.....They've burned so many bridges with us, it's gonna take a good solid year for us to even THINK about going back to them. I've heard so much crap from them in the last 6 months that I just don't believe a word they say anymore....Sadly.
