Just bought the ethos, been shooting Mathew’s sence the mq1. Absolutely love the elite aims like a rock.

[Lysander_Spooner]

I own the Elite Kure and I'm quite happy with it. Friends who have Matthews and PSE bows like how effortless the Kure is to shoot.

[dennis]

Just bought an Ethos and am waiting for new set of limbs to get it set up for my weight range. Love the OD green!

[timgreen]

Great review, thank you. I shoot a 35" ata and dont have any issues hunting with it. I dont hunt from a tree stand, but dont have any issues with it in a blind. I particularly liked your string angle analysis. Thanks again.

[mikeguy]

I have an omnia but im gonna buy this one to. 33" ata is what ive been wanting in a fast bow for a long time, and i love the elite grip

[Knifestories]

After being partial to Elite, ( I own the Remedy and love it ) I shot the Ethos. Reminded me exactly of the Remedy. Then I made a mistake of shooting the Bowtech Core SS. Walked out with the SS. Just stupid smooth, and extremely quiet and shock free.

[SheepdogConservation]

Soo many choices.. this one is definitely going on my list of new bows to shoot!! Love my bowtech reign7 but it's time to try to upgrade for 2024!!

[michaelmangino]

Great bow, just got all black. Deadest bow I've ever shot. I don't shoot my hoyts, as much now!

[thomasvanderhoff]

I use to hunt with a 41 inch bow, never had a problem and I would do it again with no problem.

[pullthefliers]

It’s time they integrate picatinny rail sight mount, bridge lock, dovetail rest mount and core rest mount holes, but not this year, I guess .

[douglasvaughn]

Good to see you carrying Elite this year. Thanks for the review!

I put felt or stealth strips on the draw stops. Makes them silent when you hit full draw.

[IamtheArcher]

Always enjoyed elite bows, i currently shooting a bowtech solution and have a ritual as my back-up. I can definitely say the elite is a smoother draw.

[UltraLimitedHD]

Also has a stab lower left and right side mount for an Elite side kick .

[tomkovacik]

Enjoyed the video, thank you and welcome back (haha). Can you talk about the loud “clank” sound at the end of your draw? I don’t hear that in other videos?

[wcwcgarner]

Its is a good looking bow. Buts its 5 years in the past. Companies are making aftermarket products for integrated bows. No pic mount. That means your quiver will stick out out like older bows. And older bows are good. But if your making new bows today. You need those things on your bow.

[madwe]

For most hunters it's gonna be a solid setup. I was really hoping for something 35/36" to compete with the shootdown pro, but we all know the extra 1.5" on rather side would make it impossible to hunt with

[joebell]

Any chance you might do a review on the Kairos?

[thomasvanderhoff]

You don’t have to press the bow to adjust the cable gaurd.

[CalIMeBad]

How do you feel about the draw stops only having a tension screw rather than a set screw that holds the stop in place? Both the Kairos and Ethos had one draw stop move after about 20 shots in each. My theory is that the bows are probably slightly out of time from the factory and that allows for which ever stop hits first to be pushed back to its 90% setting. I contacted Elite for torque spec on the screw and they are adamant on not overly tightening the screw for the draw stops, as it can shear off, I was told “snug”.

Even with that possible issue, I have a Kairos in order! My worry is will it harm the bow in any way if one stop is at 80% and the other is at 90%, will this harm my bow? I do not want to have to check my draw stops every shot.

[juanrodriguez-muko]

I’m a 27.5 draw length
I want an Ethos’s or should I go with the Kairos?
