Love my Elite 32!
 
I am really impressed with it. I hate to spend that kind of money on anything but I have not bought a new bow since my PSE Nova in like 1999! I have been buying second hand bows that I could afford. Being lefty bow shops around here do not stock lefty demos so to me it is hard to justify dropping that kind of coin on something I never shot before and would be stuck with it if I did not like it. This bow my bow shop, said if I did not like it, he would keep it for a demo for lefties. So no risk involved. Glad I bought it for sure.

Sounds like a killer deal. I hear ya...my wheelie bow is a 2009 pse Bow madness-- a little newer than a '99 :). I havent really touched it for a while though... never felt like I needed any more though, quite accurate and shoot decent, just not as enjoyable as anything I shoot with fingers.

I am a lefty as well and like you can not justify spending money on a new bow when I haven't shot it. The Arena that I bought the guy have only a dozen arrows through and decided it wasn't for him. I love 50% discounts on basically a new bow.
 
Uncomplicated...
Allegheny Mountain Recurve.
52#@27"
Alaska Bowhunting Sitka shafts 6" left wing feathers.
150 gr single bevel Samarai heads. Total arrow weight 550 gr shot off the shelf.
27 year old strap-on bow quiver from Screaming Eagle.
Nice and simple.

Here is a picture of the bow that I will be hunting with this year. After almost 20 years of being away from the Traditional game I am committed to going back this year. This was the first bow ever built by my father who was taught by Mike Fedora of Fedora bows. This was the bow he built in Fedora's shop while he was learning. It's 49# @ 28". He built it for me right as I was getting out of Trad hunting, so I never took a deer with it. I am hoping to change that this year.

I enjoy shooting my recurve, a 1960s ben pearson razorback. Being one with the bow and arrow instinctively is incredible. Hunting wise i need a precision killing machine , especially in tight areas. So compound with site, whisker and release it is... 2003 parker ultralite 31, 255 fps hahaha

86#. WOW. Don't think you will have an issue with penetration with that Beast.

True! Those cams make it seem A LOT lighter! I had 80# limbs put on it and when we measured it it registered at 86-7. My block target doesn’t like it one bit- had to get a SpyderWeb target
