What bow is everyone shooting this year?

I’ll be using the old xforce SS yet again. Killing machines these things are. Wish I could find a backup

2011 hoyt carbon element 50# 530gr arrow
2019 Bowtech SR6 62# 670gr arrow

love using both. The hoyt groups better but the bowtech is quiet and way faster.

How do you like the ritual? Any issues? Would you recommend them? Was it tough to tune?

So far I like it. I'm coming from a Mathews creed. I had it squared up at the bow shop. I bought some 300 spine black eagle rampages and had them shooting bullet holes bare shaft with a couple of small rest adjustments (250-275 gr up front shot the best). I'm certainly shoot better groups so I'm not sure if it is the bow or the new arrows or combination of each. I bought an elite because my son has an synergy 32 and the draw cycle/back wall on that bow felt so amazing.
My hunting partner just bought I Valor and he absolutely loves it.

I can't wait to get out in the woods and test it on a couple of deer.
 
Elite option 7 all day. I'll be an elite shooter from here on out. Made the switch, reluctantly, from Matthew's and i have no regrets.

I’ve been looking at the elite ritual also. Did you have any issues tuning it? I don’t like the idea of the cable guard tuning. Why don’t you trust it? Would you recommend them?

It tuned up relatively easy. I had a cracked nock that I didn't notice, and shot. Essentially dry firing.... Both cams and mods turned into taco. Bent axles. Which was totally my fault, however I actually completely dry fired my Hoyt, (long story) and all that happened to it was a broke control cable.

I got a stupid good deal from a dealer on a 2019 floor model ritual 35. Shop around some crazy good deals to be had on bows. Oh and the Elites are shooters

I'm more than happy with my bows. I got that carbon element for 200 on ebay fully set up. and the sr6 brand new shipped from the factory for 750.

That’s what I paid for mine. Was a floor model didn’t have a scratch and strings were perfect. Didn’t look like it had ever been drawn.

Parker Premier-Mag set at max #'s and don't you forget it. Hehehe. Hopefully I remember my release this year because this saddle hunter stuff introduces a whole new set of equipment to me.
