Elite GTO
 
Does anyone have one yet I am very interested in this bow, but there are no dealers in FL. I have heard the wait for one is extremely long to.

He's not realy a dealer I called him and he just sells a few out of his house he doesn't have any stock he just orders if you want one so no chance to shot one before buying.

I order one, Best bow of the year.

It has all the speed without the big clunk on the draw IMO. I am not sure how they did it, but it has one of the smoothest pulls I have ever felt for a speed boy.
Best Limb and string on the market today IMO

Having been to the ATA show and shot many of the new bows there and other places, I can say that the GTO is the sweetest shooting speed bow in my opinion. It has the smoothest draw, nice valley, solid back wall and doesn't try to jump if you relax off the wall a tad. And it looks good to boot.

I would shoot that bow but I am forced into an XL due to draw length :(

Germ, coming from a guy that was shooting a Ross I am impressed. For a speed bow to have a draw that would be pleasing to someone used to the silky smooth Ross draw says a lot. You'll have to let us know how you're shooting with it when you get it.

How long until you can get a lefty? I'm still waiting on a call from the local Elite dealer on a lh Synergy (don't think I'll be getting it);).

Oh, and what strings are they using now? I know it used to be Vapor Trail, but they switched.

For some reason I am thinking WC strings and cabels. I think I am wrong, they told me and I forgot[&:] It's not on their site.
The draw on the GTO is "harder" than both my Ross bows, but it's consistant. I have fond many speed bows havea clunk or a "bump" in the draw cycle somewhere.

I should point out I like a consistant draw of the GTO and for a speed bow she's damn smooth IMO

I would expect the draw to be harder. The speed has to come from somewhere, but the fact that there isn't a bump or hump in the cycle is nice. I really liked the draw of the 82nd until that bump at the end. I could see that being an issue on a cold day with a lot of layers. Also, the valley, or lack there of, is scary. A little creep and it's taking off on you. I am not a disciplined enough shooter for that.

This is exactly what I don't like on most speed bows...and the reason why I like the GTO for a speed bow.

Really? On the ones I have shot there is a valley, granted its not like a solo cam bow, but there is more valley than any other speed bow I have shot. Ever shot a HC Iron Mace? Not much valley there. GTO has like 2 or 3 times the valley compared to one of those or a PSE.

I have shot single cams since 96, so it's all perspective.
