2022 Elite Terrain compound bow review

[@jaysonsulser6099]

I waited 13 minutes for the mandatory poodle bark!! wouldn't be a true review without it!

[@FloridaMan1976]

It's a mid-range bow. This is one of the bows I'm actually debating on purchasing as a first bow. I don't want a budget bow package and I don't want to go top of the line...yet.

[@troycox8062]

This bow actually hits its IBO speed, and is tune-able through the yokes. The main appeal is the light weight so that when it’s dressed out it won’t feel like an anvil. It’s like a Hoyt without all the weight. The 15# draw weight adjustment is also nice.

[@otheropinionssuck]

Another awesome video. Love the depth to your knowledge and the little gems of industry history you have.

[@joshuaward5116]

Great honest review. Building one now.

[@Crossandbeyond]

Maybe this finds it's place as the budget top of the line bow?

[@pickin4you]

In my opinion, I think you are wrong about it not selling well. That one is $500+ usd, and the top of the line Elite is $1600???? That $1000 more. Not many have that kind of money to spend. Most archers j see are buying good used bows due to the enormous price of a top level new bow. I can take that Elite, or the mid priced Bowtech I saw you review and pick X’s with it as well as a $2000 bow. They are all built well enough to do that. I am glad some folks have huge money like that so spend. In reality, most of us do not, so good mid priced bows are just fine for anything from hunting to punching X’s.

[@treyu8117]

I agree I was getting ready to buy the envision but I sat back and though I’m buying a hunting bow which I might shoot 3d or target with and I thought why would I spend 1200-1600$ for something I might drop out of a tree.

[@capricornmagic63]

Most of these are probably bought on credit anyway

[@Makka316]

So for about 150AUD more than the Basin and 600AUD less than the Envision you can get this bow that looks good, seems like it has a nice smooth draw cycle, shoots about as accurate as you did in the Envision review, and from what I can see shoots as fast or maybe even faster than the speed test you did in your Envision review? This seems like pretty good bang for buck versus the other two Elite bows you are comparing it to. I agree the Envision is better but this looks like a great choice if you simply can't afford the step up in price. After watching this review I really want to give this bow a try along with the Envision and Remedy to see how noticeable the difference is.

[@jw-vx8im]

I think it's worth the money given how well it shoots. Would appeal to the hunters out there and those seeking a quick bow. it's better than the bowtech convergence which would be a competitor

[@AntiATF]

The problem I see with the price point is the fact that it's very easy to get a brand new top of the line bow from the previous year or two for around the same price. Then you get more features and you don't have to pay that extra $600. My wife's bow I got brand new for $700. It's a 2019 Elite Ritual that I bought late 2020. And I'll tell you, I'll take that bow any day over the Terrain. Now, when the terrain also drops in price when a few stay on the shelf, then it's worth looking at. Until then it's being beaten by its own brands other offerings basically.

[@tcnarber1]

Except the ritua is a dedicated Dl,with limited draw weight range. You’re looking at a bow more DL, more DW and would be Extremely easy to resell as it would fit a larger cross section of archers,from teens to ladies to mature archers who may not be able to draw higher poundage.

[@chrississon2646]

👍

[@arodriguez2707]

What's super interesting is the physical weight. The Envision seems great except that its heavy for such a short ata. If Elite made that weight of a bow with top end cams etc I'd go for it.

[@MrFornicater]

How does this compare to the PSE Drive NXT?

[@terrywolford7880]

I'm late to the party but the Terrain caught my attention due to it's light weight. I totally agree with Adrian R. Put the top in cams on this light riser and you got a lot of sales I would imagine. Also it is rare for a bow to hit it rated IBO speed. Maybe it would catch more attention had it been rated at a 330 and be overrated like almost every other bow?

[@-fazik-3713]

Still rocking the 2011 PSE Dream Season Evo :D

[@nellietolb420]

I picked up the evo nxt 33 last year. Love it and took a nice doe with it this year. Love the evo's.

[@jebstuart1323]

Lol..in 1996 I had a custom Darton built for me (Tornado) its taken everything from brown bear to Cape Buff's through its life. I cant even count the deer and elk its taken down. This spring it finally gave up the ghost.

[@archerash6695]

Hey Steve, Love your reviews and personally. Why not use a Chrono when doing reviews? Might as well if your shooting anyway.. 🤷‍♂️ Hope your well, Cheers Mate

[@daviddelrioalbarran8403]

Podrías hacer una comparativa entre el terrain y el drive nxt? Sería muy interesante.

[@timbow50]

Personally I prefer a really really smooth and easy draw from the start to the back wall. Smoothest bow ever is Elite Synergy IMO. NO decent speed to speak of but a great target/3-d bow. The 33" Ritual is my current bow for hunting because of the smooth and easy cycle with no " bump?" at the back wall. With a little tweaking I'm getting 279 fps @ 271/2". 58#'s and a 407 grain hunting arrow. Gues I will keep this as left hand bows in this review aren't even being made. Not enough market? Hard to believe there like only millions of right eye dominate people and a few hundred left eye dominate people. Thinking there are thousands of shooters not using their dominate eye.

[@johnpiniewski3390]

Been waiting for ya !

[@klickklack5580]

Das ist schön, aber das sollte uns nicht davon abhalten, daran zu denken, das in Australien 48 Millionen Kängurus leben und Uruguay nur 3.457.380 Einwohner hat. Das bedeutet, dass wenn die Kängurus irgendwann entscheiden würden, Uruguay anzugreifen, dass jeder Uruguayer im Schnitt 14 Kängurus bekämpfen müsste. Und sollten die Kängurus siegen, heißt das Land dann Känguruguay. Nur mal so nebenbei .

[@garymickus6412]

@Click, funny!

[@bbmas1930]

are you sure thats a 60lb bow. All the other IBO style test out there @ 70Lb/30inch/350 grain are 322 fps. Just struggling to see how 10lb lighter draw weight and only 23 grain lighter arrow can be as quick. Its hard to find actual 60Lb chrono numbers but not sure if I can trust these.

[@Jedds80]

How does this compare to other bows in its price range? Is it the best lower cost bow?

[@andydillon447]

cry for help .I have managed to de cable my compound bow and for the life of me and others at the club we cant work out the set up ( its a hoyt 38 ultra with tx 1000 limbs and hoyt manuals are useless ) being new to this I am at a loss and in the UK there are few shops to go to . Do you know or have any followers that have the same bow and can help ?? with pics etc .I will be upgrading at some point but as i have a disability cost is an issue .Cry for help from the UK

[@kriskath7040]

number 90

[@metro9636]

What color is that?

[@drmitofit2673]

So the Basin is a Wash? Ha ha ha!

[@timothycoulter2848]

Sorry I think you should recalibrate your chronograph no way at 60 lbs.

[@rogerkay8603]

Too short ATA for me, I'll stick with my PSE Xpression

[@greenhoodedvigilante458]

Can I shoot this bow with fingers?

[@otheropinionssuck]

Short axle to axle with big cams, I wouldn't recommend it

[@chrississon2646]

U can watch guy n Dan Fitzgerald

[@franhardy3064]

np

[@franhardy3064]

looking at getting this bow im 14 what do you think

[@nickuchneat301]

I'm 15, bought this bow in January. So far, all is going great. This is my first high quality bow so I have nothing to compare it to but it shoots great and I haven't had any problems with it. Its enjoyable to shoot and overall I highly reccomend it.

[@gsoutdoors534]

Too bad they don't make it in left hand.

[@nashtaylor7656]

Yes they do

[@DragonScorpio31]
