When do you think Storm will be shipping the new Elite? I feel it will be a good seller.

[lterry]

From what I am hearing...

Most likely the end of March :D

[AJL]

cant wait,i got to get me one of these.

[lterry]

AJL...

I hear you are going to be one of the first with the Elite... :)

Look forward to hearing your comments

[AJL]

lterry,how does et like the cabon tech arrows

[lterry]

He says IHO he is really impressed with them

Arrows are really balanced...no seam when you look down through the shaft..

that's telling you the spline strength of the shaft if equal thoughout the O.D. of the shaft.

In spline testing it is equal on all points..I found no weakness in the shaft.

Also you can heat the tips and remove them without damaging the shaft. That is a real plus.

Rick told me at the ATA they use a heat resistant bonding agent in the carbon which enables you to do this. You still must use caution not to overheat them but remember anything can be overheated.

You can also get from 6.4g up.

As far as I am concerned they have their act together and that is all I am shooting at this time.

Every arrow shoots the same, group well together, without numbering the arrow...no strays

In using the 6.4g 3D 400 series I was able to run heaver tips and as you know more weight out front carries farther down field...makes for tighter yardage marks on you sight tape.

[AJL]

et have any ideas on two piece quivers for the elite

[lterry]

Duh.........Kinda sorta......

Good Question........it's in the works! :)

[lterry]

It is a special bow....the Elite is smooth, fast, well balanced and just sits in your hand when you shoot it. :D

[AJL]

im still playing around with the set up,put the new kaz away drop away from vital bow gear on today,didnt get a chance to shoot today because of the RAIN!,did a little with the chrono yesterday,the elite at 63lbs 29" draw,385gr arrow 256.fps.shot my liberty with the same arrow at70lbs 258fps.waiting for the cabon techs to come in so i can get closer to where i want to be on speed for 3d ,but as it is its a great hunting set up,also have a 10"doinker on the way.dont know what else i can say about the elite ,that i already havent said,did i say it was awsome!!! Andy

[Tejas Raz]

Tell me more about how it "feels" AJL. Grip, draw, balance, after the shot, etc. That kind of stuff.

[AJL]

it came with the rubber style grips and they were great but i took the wood grips off *another storm ,and they just fit a little better for me.the draw curve is smooth, no harsh rollover.now comes the shot,this is were your really gonna be shocked! absoultly no hand shock at all,and it just sits there after the shot.i know you cant wait to get this bow in your hands,and when you do you will be happy with the wait.got one ordered up for another guy and he cant wait either,he keeps coming over to shoot mine. if you need more info let me know. Andy

[Tejas Raz]

That's the kind of info I needed. Thanks Andy for stepping back to the plate.

I'm agreeing with you about the difference between rubber and wood. I do like wood. Rubber insulates, but wood gives you warm vibrations!

[lterry]

Storm has 3 Grips to choose from: :D
