How long do y'all give Elite?

Somebody mentioned those to me before I started thinking about the Z7.

Are they as good as Mathews?

Considering that I thought they would be gone by now, I am probably not a good person to comment. That being said, 3 years.

All the higher end bows are good. So much personal preference involved. The thing that gets me in all the bow talk though is speed. Do I want speed? At 27" draw, hell yeah I want speed. Here's the problem. I've drawn lots of bows in my years of shopping and shooting. Some bows feel better to me than others. For me to shoot high poundage, the draw curve has to be set up a certain way. 350 ibo does me no good if I have to drop under 60 lbs to draw the damn thing. It sure would be nice to have access to a shop equipped to allow one to shoot multiple bows at the highest comfortable setting and chrono the same weight arrow.

Well, yeah.

I'm just thinking I can draw anything.
I never thought of a market for 80 or 85# draws until this thread.

I've read about a bunch of the big game hunters, in the past who had recurves, that said they trained on different bows to get to a 100lb draw.

Anybody know if the grip on the Z7 is interchangeable?

I've seen some say it is, but can't find the walnut grip for sale anywhere.

TIA

Get a Halon. I have a Halon 6. Best bow so far out of the three I have owned.

I've got a braided wrist strap like that I'm gonna swap out.

Your rig looks good.

I've got it.

I like your stabilizer. Who makes that one?

Also, I want a detachable quiver. The one I've got is set up so that it screws on and doesn't come off. It's light, but I don't want that. Which one do you have there?
