    I’ve been an elite shooter for years now but this year wanted to try something different. Ended up with the elevate. Great shooting bow and absolutely love the grip

    Was waiting for that review! Ordered a Carbon One this year, good bow but should’ve wait to see what other company would offer this year. Might put my hands on a new Elevate, seems to be a great bow! Keep up your great work 🤟🏻

    Got mine 3 weeks ago and love it. Kind of wonder on the decibel readings if the arrow hitting the bag is coming back to register on the reader. No idea how that all works.

    I settled on the omnia around Christmas but dang this bow has me interested!! Seems the underdog companies are hitting homeruns this year!! I have a feeling this bow will have an excellent draw. The omnia is stiff but dumps into the valley softer than mathew's and absolutely chucks arrows, while this bow seems to draw more uniform like a hoyt and settles into the valley nicely. I find this bow to be an excellent comparison to the omnia and that both are excellent bows. I find this important because its a fast bow with an excellent draw and an actual valley unlike the hoyt rx4 turbo I own. I was hoping this would be faster considering the omnia ran at 300fps in your testing but I'd bet this would make an excellent all around bow with a more forgiving draw than the omnia. I don't regret my omnia purchase but I have a feeling I would really like the elevate. Time to clear some bows out of the stable and possibly make room for this one. Sorry but I really crap on mathew's and hoyt for not jumping into the new technology. Mathew's bows are not speed bows and the cams haven't changed for years and you have to buy modules to change draw length. Hoyt has switched back to adjustable mods on some of their bows but I just had to buy modules for an rx4 turbo and its 1/2" draw lengths just like mathew's. I found my mathew's traverse to run 3/8" longer than advertised and my hoyt rx4 turbo to run 1/2" long so speed test can be manipualated when you get a bow that actually runs at a true draw length. My omnia runs at the exact draw length I set it at. Kinda cheating when you set a "29" draw" and bow A) is 29, bow B) is 29-3/8, and bow C) is 29.5. I'd like to see the athens elevate, elite omnia, rx4 turbo(hoyt turbo bow), mathew's, pse, ect speed tested with the string at the same draw length as it seems it would make a difference especially when some bows are running a true 1/2" longer than others.

    Just got mine 2 weeks ago and now all the pse bows are for sale!! It shoots 280fps 68 lbs 28.5” draw 440 grain arrow plenty fast!!my nxt was 265 smoother but slower. Not one thing I don’t like about the elevate. It really is a mix of many bows its quiet like mathews, riser like elite and the cams are like hoyt and evolve had a baby.

    Solid review. How does this compare to the omnia in your opinion? Going to go back and rewatch that review. I like the speeds of the omnia better, but man that draw cycle looks smooth as butter on the elevate.

    Very similar, draw is a little smoother, but your right for the speeds the omnia was getting it was pretty dam smooth as well, I think the back wall on the omnia was about the same, they are so similar to me, great options

    Don't get me wrong I really like Athens... I own several Athens bows, even from before the new owners. The Elevate to me doesn't bring enough of a difference compared to the Vista 31. Watching the chronograph part of the video I was very disappointed to see that the speed was the same if not a little worse than the Vista 31.

    That’s pretty slow for a 345 IBO bow. Much slower than it’s rivals yet it’s rated higher. Wish the owners would be a little more honest with their IBO. Everyone inflates but they are way far away.
