Elite Hunter
Personal Commentary by Jon Silks about the Elite Hunter:
This bow did extremely well in the test with testers often making special comments about it. The Hunter just has a certain feel that makes it stand out. It reminded me of the way my favorite baseball bat fit me back in the day. It is no secret that Elite grips are among my favorites available and a second place finish in that category was no surprise. A notable kick dropped it down to the number three spot in the shock/vibration category and the resultant noise landed it in the same position for shot noise. The Elite Hunter never dropped out of the top 4 in the subjective categories, however, it hit next to last in speed.

Using the Above Table: Kinetic Energy: (in foot-pounds)
This is the energy that actually goes into propelling the arrow. Basically it is the energy that is left over from the stored energy after all of the bow system friction is accounted for. Using The Above Graph: The area under the graph signifies the amount of energy stored by the system from brace height to full draw (power stroke). The shape of the curve is generated by a plot of draw weight in pounds against draw length in inches and gives an indication of how the bow will feel when drawn. The more rounded the curve the more "smooth" the feel of the draw cycle, however, if the curve is "squared-off" it will likely feel more aggressive. The trade off comes in performance, as the more aggressive curve is generally indicative of more stored energy and more speed.
