Elite or Mathews
Want to invest in a good bow and cannot find a place that I can check out the elite compounds. Anyone have thoughts between the two?
Thanks.

I think Trophy Book Archery has both brands if near that area in Edmonton. Red Deer Archery if you are closer to there,all depends on your location or willing to drive.

I gave them a call and they do not carry the elite, only Mathews so no way to shoot both and compare which is unfortunate.

I haven't shot the Elite but I changed from PSE thunderbolt to a Matthews z7 Extreme and absolutely love it.

The answer is a nice bow. If I was buying a new hunting bow, that would be it. My pure shoots too nice to give up though. Red Deer will treat you well. They carry both brands.

A good thing about the elite answer is that it is very forgiving and very smooth with a good speed too, and it is 33 1/2 axle to axle which I like but if you wanted a shorter axle to axle bow made by elite, the elite hunter is a great bow too, good for tree stands and ground blinds I believe it's closer to 31 inches axle to axle

 The are both great bows...I find the Mathews a lot easier to tune and maintain..
But you cant go wrong with either..
