2023 ELITE CARBON ERA | BOW REVIEW 

Lmao! Hell nah! For this whitetail hunter, it's too short ATA, and the draw length isn't long enough. Wish this was targeting the fully grown American male market... 😒

@@casanovafrankenstein8875 I wondered about DL as well, Im sure elite knows what sells and what the average is but.... Im 50 years old and 6'3" in my teens it was impossible to get gear that fit me... now its no problem at all, I see 15 year old kids that are eye to eye with me. short ATA I get here thats all they ever stock in my area so I assume thats what the majority want or even know about... but DL just looking around the archery club and I see several people at 6 foot if not over. also wonder if making a long riser out of carbon stiff enough wouldn't present some additional challenges. Im the oddball, I want an ultra light target bow even though once its built it will weigh the same or real close to my current Rezult... just rather have that weight at the ends of the stabs that hanging out doing nothing for me.

@@casanovafrankenstein8875 the percentage of people that draw over 31” is so small it’s not even worth appealing to them.

@Saddle Hunting it's too bad that bowhunting is full of "men" with the proportion of 9th graders... smdh.

Yea I’d say over grown not fully grown lol. The vast majority of shooters aren’t pulling 31 plus inches.

I’ve shot an ERA and I don’t feel much vibration if any. The draw cycle is pretty smooth, and it feels like you’re holding nothing in your hand. If I could upgrade my Elite EnVision to an ERA, I’d do it immediately.

What are you talking about? PSE Mach 1 and 34 are lighter than this.

Just for shits and giggles, look up what the Hoyt Nitrum 30 used to weigh.

Why?

I’d have to say 33 ata and 6.5 BH is perfection.

Made here in Rochester, NY

Hoyt Nitrum 30 used to be 3.9 advertised.

Yes they did. My old creed xs was sub 4 lbs.

My old matthews heli m is 3.3 lbs

180fps will kill a deer don't need 350 lol it's a pissing competition

There was never “350 fast” so knock it off

In the interest of accuracy......I don't always say a bow is the "nicest I ever shot."

@@pjreilly3997 but you never say a bow is the worst you ever shot either 🙂

@@capricornmagic63 Correct.....If I can't say something nice about a bow that we sell, we don't do a video on it. And let me elaborate on that. Just because I might not like a bow, doesn't mean it's a "bad" bow. But if I don't like a bow, that's going to be evident, so I'd rather not say anything at all.

@@pjreilly3997 ok, often, than.

Because it’s an inferior material

What exactly are you confused about? It's subjective for someone to say a bow is the best they have ever shot. How do you quantify subjectivity? If someone says it's the best carbon bow they've ever shot that doesn't mean they are saying the other carbon bows they have shot were bad. Indeed PJ liked the Levitate and the Mach34 but said he preferred the Mach34 over the Levitate. Does that mean the Levitate sucked because he liked the Mach34 better? Best approach is for you to try and test them all and decide - subjectively! - which carbon bow you think shoots best. No one should be offended if you pick a different bow to the one they like most. Having said that, he did mention some specifics on the Era such as the adjust-ability, tune-ability, forgiveness of the brace height etc. These are all good things but that doesn't mean those things will make it the best carbon bow you've ever shot. Perhaps your favourite turns out to be a bow with 6" brace height, course 1/2" draw length adjustments, limited let off options, limited ease of tuning, but is lighter and faster. After you've tried them all I'm interested to know which one you think shoots best.

Exactly!

Fair point

Couldn’t agree more

Yep just like the other companies just a big stall they have hit a wall

@@davemartin660 i liked the nee bowtech reckoning 36 gen 2, but thats the only one this year that i liked.

It is sort of difficult to see where bow manufacturers can go really. Other than the odd feature here and there, I don't think we'll be seeing anything groundbreaking anytime soon. I have an Elite and I've never touched the SET feature. In my opinion it's little more than a marketing gimmick, yes it may help with the tuning but as I've said previously but shooting bullet holes mean nothing to target archers, we work on form and consistency to achieve success. Obsessing over bullet holes are for the gear geeks, the type who think having the best equipment will make them the best.

@@capricornmagic63 you don't tune to get bullet holes and you're a target archer? You're either a liar or you have no idea what you're talking about, either way your opinion isn't worth hearing

@@capricornmagic63 🤣

You’ll never see a carbon bow for less than 1500$, keep dreaming
