RE: Elite releases '09's early.
 

They look similar, but it is a NEW system. They are a 2 track camsystem that eliminates can lean. It's a lot more like a dual cam than a binary.
I think it's considered a dual track binary. I'm trying to get more info. on this part.

RE: Elite releases '09's early.
 

Well they are headed in a different direction at least. I never did care for the goat. I had a 65 (289)Mustang, 84 Camaro Z28 (305), and a 92 Camaro Z28 (350).

When are they going to come out with the F150 built Ford tough bow? :eek:

RE: Elite releases '09's early.
 

2 track system sounds good but that cam system looks like a bear to draw,time will tell.

RE: Elite releases '09's early.
 

They HAVE to release their 2009 CRAP early in the year, cuz after everyone else releases their '09 stuff... they won't sell any. Early release is a marketing scheme that several manufacturers use when their having "troubles." Notice how ford released their '08 vehicles in like March of 07? That was partly to do with their lack of national interest in the '07 models.

I think we call them "Eleake"

RE: Elite releases '09's early.
 

That's a little HARSH , don't ya think? Not much class there Dubbya.
Crap? They are over ordered now. With the intro. of this camsystem, I would bet that Elite will scare the pants off a few bow companies.
I don't know what company you're talking about. The only trouble they're having is keeping up with orders.

As for the early intro. , it was an unplanned move.The Darton suit forced thier hand. It would have dragged on for years.
Rather than pay Darton for the rest of the year, they put thier cam system out now and the suit was dropped.

I don't trash your bow. Have some class.

RE: Elite releases '09's early.
 

The dual track binary seems like an AWESOME idea. As long as they aren't infringing on patents on this one, they might be ahead of the crowd.

However, this is the trick, you think having a left handed bow on order since Jan is a long wait? I've had a LH "Ninja" GTO on order since November, when we picked up the dealership. At the time I thought I'd shoot one. I haven't canceled the order just because I want to play with one. I'll give them a call Monday, and I guess tell them to make my #60 GTO "Ninja" a GT500.

RE: Elite releases '09's early.
 

Wow those are some harsh words considering the waiting lists for their bows. Its well known that people have been waiting six months for their bows. If the people didn't beleive in their product so much, I am sure that they would just go to a different name brand.

I am still trying to decide if I am going to order one myself. The only hold up is the LH issue and the speed issue. The GTO's weren't getting anywhere close to the advertised speeds unless they were tweaked.

RE: Elite releases '09's early.
 

MAtt,
They already have. The LH GTO's were not built. ALL LH GTO's are going to be GT500's. In fact , you may have it sooner than you think. Elite announced a June 1 ship date on the LH GT500's. The lefties get the first run of the new bows. , the GT500 and the Z-28.
Actually , I think sold orders will be shipped a week sooner than that.

RE: Elite releases '09's early.
 

The new cam system is getting the top end speeds. NAd the LH models will be the first out. See my post above.

RE: Elite releases '09's early.
 

Yeah, the biggest killer for me was the speed issue. I have spent a lot of time over on the Elite forum and even their biggest fans are also some of the biggest complainers about the GTO's not shooting the advertised speeds.

Its like one guy on there said. Why should he buy a bow and then have to pay someone extra to "tweak" it to make the bow shoot the speeds it was advertised to shoot out of the box?

I am still in limbo.
