This also highlights a weakness of the bino clamps (like an aziak) vs a stud system like the outdoorsman’s. The aziak works great just for binos and is considerably cheaper but because it’s not centered you can’t go directly between the binos and spotter.
@jackburcs17 күн бұрын
I don't know if thats really true though. I'll have to test it out, but I think deviations laterally or vertically shouldn't really matter. Only the angle really matters, so as long as the mounting surface/plate is parallel to the tubes on their respective binos and spotter, you should be good to go. Like if you're looking through binoculars standing, and you squat down, you should still see basically the same thing, as long as you don't shift where you're pointing it, right? That said, I don't know if the clamp systems like the aziak are perfectly parallel to the tube.

Straight Spotters allow you to easier scan; Right to Left, Bottom to Top - the opposite of how you read. This will force your brain to focus on finding targets and not go on autopilot. Many military spotters are taught this technique as it works!

Left out elites SET which allows easy tuning along with 1/4" draw adjustments, and the cable guard can be adjusted with the LTR. Small detail left out to boost other bows? Elite offers more tuning options than any other bow period. If SET doesn't get it done for you the cams can still be shimmed. SET=modified yoke tune, Deadlock=easy cam shimming. I just don't feel you described the ethos nearly as well as the other bows, aside from that it this was an excellent bow review.
@RokslideАй бұрын
"...left out to boost other bows?" Hardly! We don't do it that way at rokslide-- never have, never will. These reviews can't possibly touch on every feature or they'd be so long all the commenters would complain about that instead. We thoroughly covered Elite's SET technology at the full review (written by a Rokslide member) linked below. Here's that review: www.rokslide.com/elite-era-bow-review/
@tsi-rocket4144Ай бұрын
@@Rokslide But you made sure to touch on hoyts 1/4" draw adjustments being a big advantage and stopped to cover deadlock? Could have easily covered SET, LTR and 1/4" draw lengths in 30 seconds and referred to your review for more info? At the same time to be fair you didn't cover the fancy sight/rest mounting options available from about everyone but elite. Be great to cover things quick and refer to your individual bow reviews and avoid wasting time on a review like this. Elite for sure lacks in the mounting of accessories not arguing that. Still a great condensed video and more than anything I appreciate your response!

@@tsi-rocket4144 I don’t think you quite understand how Rokslide works. We take reviews from members and staff, that way we can cover more reviews and members have a chance to share their experiences too. It’s also the most unbiased way to do reviews. When you have that diverse of a pool of writers, there is no way we’re gonna, cover everything you’re talking about in every review. It’s not like we have a Monday morning board meeting and get everybody together to figure out what they’re gonna cover, not cover, etc, doesn’t work that way. If you look at the written review I sent you it’s also linked to another elite review that talks about SET technology. we’ve covered it plenty and if you look at all the reviews as a whole, you’ll see we’re very fair. We just don’t like being accused of hiding anything to promote other bows. Completely unfair statement. And looking at the feedback on this review, It doesn’t look like anybody thinks we’re wasting time.
