If I was in the market for a new hunting bow for '08, this guy would definitely get a look. Pretty nice speeds for a 7" brace and 80% letoff.

Basically, similar to the 101st, with Barnsdale limbs, and 3" shorter ATA. I'd really like to play with one of these.

The Elite GTO

ATA - 33 1/8"
BH - 7"
Mass Weight 3lbs 15.5oz
IBO @ 70# 30" 80% letoff - 340-350
Draw Lengths 26-30
Draw Weights 50-90#

MSRP $799

Fran, where are the pics!

I'm sure we will have one at the shop eventually. I'd be shocked if it made the speeds advertised, the Envy we had certainly didn't. It was a good 10fps slower than advertised at best. If/when I get my hands on one I will post up with my thoughts.

Thanks for the link. That is a sweet looking bow.

Don't keep toturing me with expensive bows. Find me a nice $500 bow that kicks them out, and is smooth & quiet!

I think we are going to be selling these at the shop this year. I've shot the Synergy XT, and the draw is a little harsh, but it's not bad. VERY quiet bow, and quick. We had nothing on the bow except a rest and the factory installed STS system (Elite's version, anyway) and it was dead quiet. You could feel the string vibrating after the shot, but I believe SS's would take care of that.

I'm also looking forward to getting in a GTO...that's the one I'm really considering for this year....Let me know if you shoot one.

Matt, the Synergy XT I shot was at and slightly above. On 71 #'s it shot a 389 grain arrow 320 fps....I would guess a 355 grain arrow would be in the upper 320's....

Good looking rig. Perhaps with the rounder cams the draw will be better. The Elites that I have shot were all pretty fast, but rough to draw. So much for them going under!

rybo.....interested in a good deal on an '05 Switchback with new WC strings and cables? Not really hawking the boards to sell it. If a pal was interested, though????

Is"Elite GTO"the mfg? Why would someone pick them over a more mainstream speed bow?
