I generally preface things in this section as "I am not a Bow Junky or Bow Nerd". But I purchased my own bow press recently and I am ready to take the next step into bow tuning and mechanics.
I am really not much of a Bow Hunter. Prefer rifles. But I DO shoot bows almost daily Quiet and Easy,
Over the last few years I've tried a Carbon Defiant, Elite Option 6, Hoyt HyperEdge in both 70 and 60. Recently ordered and received a 2021 PSE EVO in 80.
I am a Left Handed shooter. It's very difficult to walk into a shop and Shoot before you Buy. So I throw darts on AT and sometimes try a few bows.
I bought an Elite E35 in maybe 2013 or 2014? To date....that is the sweetest and best shooting bow...FOR ME....by a landslide. I put it in the corner because I can move the bottom cam around (ever so slightly) by hand. I've shot the ever living piss out of that bow. Thousands of arrows. I think the bushings, axles, cams or whatever...are simply blown out.
Think I contacted Elite a few years ago about new hardware. Seemed like it was not a realistic option.
Where do old bows go to die? Any thoughts on options to rebuild this bow w/out going through Elite? Probably have $300 into whatever I can find. Bow isn't really worth $300 on AT.
I kinda got sucked into New and Improved. Think that's the entire Archery circle. Think my Vegas and Foam scores would be much better with a 2013 than this 2021. This new PSE (and I swore I would NEVER shoot a PSE....but I got sucked into getting a Nock On, Rock On with Jocko, Joe, Andy, Evan, Mat....blah blah blah) Bow is LOUD. Doesn't point and hold nearly like the Elite of Old. Doesn't stay there through the shot either.
