Elites are amazing bows. Very smooth and nice backwall.

Congrats on the new bow, I'm sure you will enjoy shooting this one for many seasons to come.

Congrats, I have 2 E35's and love them. I would not say they are slow by any means at 330ibo that slings arrows. I would take a look around for accessories and get the best you can afford. Get a drop away rest whether limb driven or cable driven, I personally am not a fan of whisker biskets but some love them. I would look at a 5 pin sight to begin with as it is less cluttered and another option would be to go to a multi pin adjustable. I just switched back to the fixed pins as there where a few times I could not make an adjustment and opted not too shoot as I did not have a pin for the distance. Enjoy and good luck. There is a shoot coming up next weekend in Drayton and one mid July by Gull lake that would be great for you to test out the rig, it is the Dual Cam Hunter Challenge and range finders are allowed.

Cheers, Elk.

Default Elite 32

I don't have a 32 but I have a new 35 and really like it, solid back wall, fit and finish are great, great string, only con would be it is a little heavier than my Spyder 34 by 1/2 pound. I took a little weight off my stabs and now find it much better, I use it for 3-D and it shoots really well, holds real steady. Take care, Cheers roscoe
