Hey Elite guys...E-500 AT
Guys...I walk in2 Scheels in Des Moines 2nite to get a bow holder for my new LW hand climber. I see this Elite E-500 AT in the rack with a $99 Black Gold radiant sight on it, a $50 Sims stabilizer, and an $80 Limb Driver on it...brand new 2yr old model with warranty for $299!! So it shoots like a dream...The guy chronos it for me and I am shooting 286 fps with a 392 gr arrow. I shoot a 29" draw but this bow fits me perfect and states it is a 28.5" draw. It is peaked at 69# and the draw cycle is smoooooooth. It feels more like a 60# draw. It seemed like a deal I couldn't refuse. Store employee said they just lowered the price on this this week, and was surprised it hadn't sold as it came with $230 worth off accessories on it!! I am in shock yet and I bought it to sell...but I like it big time, and don't know if I can part with it now. It is a VERY nice shooter and extremely quiet. No one in IA knows much about Elite and there are no dealers in the area except one in the NE part of the state. Scheels doesn't carry them anymore. Tell me what you know about this model please.

Here is the link to the owners manual- has the basic specs-based on the speeds you got I'd say it was out of timing or something- should be quite a bit faster at near 70 pounds.

Seems like you stumbled onto a deal. Question is, which is getting the starting nod? The 82nd or the E?

Bowtech Clone, I believe the E-500 is pretty close match to Tribute or Alley
A post at the Elite Forum would get you a pile of info
