I was too. I'm very Elite curious but I couldn't find one last year. I did find a shop but only after I bought my bow.

I really, honestly don't need a bow. At all. A different sight, yup. A whole bow to go with it. No.

I promise absolutely nothing!

Find one and shoot it. The Enkore is a great bow, but older. Last year's Omnia is awesome. This year's Ethos is intriguing to me. Will fit me perfectly with a 31" draw length. There's a place called Apalachian Archery or something along those lines that sell previous years models at deep discounts. They have an Enkore I want for $700, which is far from the $1100 they were brand new.

I shot quite a few. Only one I couldn't find available in lefty was anything Hoyt, so I've never shot a hoyt. The Elite grip and draw cycle, adjustability, steady hold, all sold me.

You're right. Need a switchback XT that's way too long for me? :tearsofjoy:

The worst part is setting up the new bow after I blow , now, $1500 on one.

Setting them up is the fun part! I quite enjoy the process, but I enjoy all that technical stuff. My closest bow shop is almost 2 hours away so I ended up buying a press, vise, draw board, making a paper tuner, etc so I could just do it all myself.

It’s best to just rip the bandaid off. I’m a firm believer of giving 100 percent. If your going to hurt your bank account you might as well make it cry.

I like that! Haha. Got a little more oomph to it than the standard "buy once cry once" mantra. I'm gonna have to remember that one.

Happened to me earlier this year. I decided to swing by the bow shop and walked out with a brand new bow and ordered everything else they didn’t have in stock. I figured I might as well make my bank account tap out.

Yep. You don't need a new bow. You need TWO new bows. I mean to be an efficient killer you need two. Primary and a duplicate. Just in case. Dan Infalt does. Its a requirement to kill booners these days. FYI.
 
It's a simple redundancy thing. Always have backups to your backups. Once I get the Omnia, the Enkore will become my backup and my old diamond will be the backup to the backup. Then, when I get an Ethos, the omnia will be the backup, then the enkore, then the diamond.

Oh, and I forgot about my Rezult for indoor spot. It needs a backup or two.

Good to know! Thanks! They seem like they'd be nice but geez, they get you on the options that utilize those features. Is a pic rail out front the same deal? That core ss has my name all over it if it's faster...

Pretty much same concept, but not as nice in functionality.
 
Just saw this new smaller aider from Arsenal. I have the larger original model and love it. This one seems to be a tad bit smaller.

So I mean. I had to order two.

MAXX™ LITE Climbing Stick Aider

35% LIGHTER & EASIER TO STOW! The same tree gripping teeth and solid step design as the original, but slightly smaller, more nimble and easier to stow and pack. The MAXX™ Aider Series are the only climbing stick aiders designed to specifically reduce wobble, swaying and the struggling boot...

I buy a pack every year much to my wife’s chagrin!!

Bit the bullet on an Exo K4 this year and have been super pleased with the quality. This thing is bomb-proof.

I need to join a support group for backpack addicts!!
