Backyard Bows Elite Envision Review

[@Lexidezi225]

It’s gotta be your chronograph. I just brought my envision home last night and on my garmin xero chronny I was within .4 fps on every shot. Super consistent

[@BackyardBows]

For sure the garmin is solid

[@nathanbrooks4324]

Good job! I like your honest translation of what you see. I’ll add a little insight that might help your viewers with the information you’ve provided. Concerning the draw length, for this bow Elite measures all their draw lengths on the lower letoff setting. So, if you are using it in the highest letoff setting it will be 1/2” longer. Technically, the bow will reach 31” at the highest left off. The shortest draw length cannot be reached at highest letoff. Concerning the 70-90% letoff settings, it will vary depending on your draw length. For example, at 31” draw length, max letoff is about 85% & lowest letoff is 70%. At 24” draw length, it will max out at 90% letoff, but the lowest letoff will be 75%. So the range is 70-90%, but not at all draw lengths. Hope that info helps! Great review!

[@BackyardBows]

Thank you for the comment that makes perfect sense.

[@josephtreadlightly5686]

But unlike other bows u can fine tune with 1/4" draw length adjustments. I've always thought that 1/2" draw length changes were too much & didn't allow u to shoot the % of letoff that u prefer. I don't have an Elite dealer in my area but I've been watching many reviews on the Envision for all it's practical adjustability. Also what Camo colors do they offer & is it a painted or dipped riser?

Appreciate it glad to here

[@chrississon2646]

Any chance of a review on the Elite Terrain?

[@BackyardBows]

Next elite bow will be the enkore, I’ll look into terrain I love suggestions thank u

[@darcywood4637]

I have the kure and love it . My only complaint is the string started fraying as soon as I started shooting it ,cables are fine.I feel some vibration after the shot without the front stabilizer attached

[@BackyardBows]

I would get on archery talk and see if anyone is having the same problem, I was also a big fan of the Kure, did u purchased used by chance

[@darcywood4637]

I bought it last month it was a left over 2021. Thanks for your response and reviews

[@larrywarren2431]

Like your review like the bow how ever the speed difference troubles me doesn't those different change the up and down on the Target ?

[@BackyardBows]

Yes it will a little

[@larrywarren2431]

@@BackyardBows what about the verdict by Elite that is the one I'm thinking of buying would like your opinion

[@Lexidezi225]

I would blame his chronograph cuz my envision is within .4 fps on my garmin

[@cosimopapandrea8204]

What would cause speed to jump around like that? Looking to upgrade from my Bear Carnage at some point and have always been attracted to elite

[@BackyardBows]

I want to say cam timing could be a factor but I timed these perfectly, weight displacement on limbs, I think it’s fair to run this bow through crono again since it’s the only bow that jumped around this much

[@BackyardBows]

We will have the elite omnia in next week that will be a good one I think

[@cosimopapandrea8204]

@@BackyardBows would you still recommend it as a hunting bow. The omnia looks amazing but I would love to get something that isn't $1200 lol. Assuming the price goes down when the omnia is released.

[@BackyardBows]

Yes all around I was impressed by the envision

[@milkrvr4088]

I like the innovations on this bow I work in a shop and we have Mathews Hoyt pse bowtech and prime and just for example Mathews has had the same bow for 4 years the switch weight mod system makes 70 feel like 80 I’m curious to see one of these xpedition had a good cam easy cycle decent speed they didn’t hit ibo but nobody hits ibo hope to see one soon thanks for the video

[@BackyardBows]

Got a lot more to come, definitely been fun getting my hands on so many

[@jakereape4095]

What kind of release are you running

[@BackyardBows]

Spothog wiseguy boa

[@josephtreadlightly5686]

IMO the efficiency of a bow is only attained when the arrow is tuned to the bow. The grip would be the final detail when it comes down to it for me. It would be interesting to see how a bare shaft flies into a solid target compared to your fletched shafts. Any inefficiency is going to give u inconsistent results. I would like to see the same stabilizer shot off a bow in a review. I have shot on my range & found that the Conquest Control Freak has been a very good starting point. If I recognize some inconsistency @ least I know that it's time to not put the cart in front of the horse & go back to determine what can be learned from the experiment.

[@drested1793]

If we’re being honest Elite is definitely borrowing a lot from Mathews with the longer less reflexed riser and short wide limbs, vibration dampener. It’s all good though. I’m definitely looking forward to the 2023 release because if they do a 33-34” hunting bow with these features it’s going to be hard to say no.

[@BackyardBows]

I agree with that, I have found so many similar comparisons among bow companies it’s crazy, they all steal ideas or designs from time to time

[@Cparchery...]

Elite measure the draw length at 80% lettoff witch is why it is probably longer im 29.25 inch draw so I would set it at 28.75

[@BackyardBows]

Thanks good info

[@archer3181]

It’s your chronograph. Get a lab radar chronograph.

[@BackyardBows]

What chronograph would you suggest, this was on the cheaper end but has not been that inconsistent in 3 years, occasionally does an error but never jumps around like that

[@leelathrop9539]

Get a lab radar. They’re the best

[@jonathantrumpower9316]

@@BackyardBows I have a pro chronograph.. I use it for arrows/bullet fps tests. The biggest thing is they are fussy... The amount of light, the type of light, if you shoot it through the exact same spot etc etc. I've never really had inconsistencies in mine until conditions change, "different light" different shot placement etc.

[@chrississon2646]

I shot the terrain, envision and encore today , the envision got weeded out

[@BackyardBows]

Enkore is my favorite from elite, review should be up in two weeks

[@Shawnbo812]

Find it very funny how different people determine hand vibration. Not doubting you a bit however I’ve shot the Elite Envision at 3 different bow shops because had every intention of getting one. Bad news is all 3 different shots the Envision felt like a tuning fork after the shot.

[@BackyardBows]

thanks for the feedback, I have come across this situation from time to time, its interesting how we all feel a bow differently, I just went out to the shop and shot it again lol just to see

[@F15Bluto]

Agree. If I had been buying a new bow any if the last few years it may have been Elite. I wanted to want one this year, but it felt like I short stroked an aluminum baseball bat. Way too buzzy, which is a bummer as Elite has always been “shootable” as a reputation

[@BackyardBows]

@@F15Bluto enkore is up soon, and I have to say its still favorite elite bow to date, for the envision I think there is a tuning solution that plays into the vibration and sound cause I have several opinions on far ends if the spectrum, like people are shooting two different bows almost

[@jons858]

How would you rank the Omnia, Kure, Envision and Enkore as far as smoothest draw and getting the most forgiveness/performance?

[@BackyardBows]

Enkore, omnia, envision, Kure

[@jakecarter1160]

.... Pull back all the way! Lol

[@bigwestreviews4933]

If it just me or is Elite beginning to sneakily look more and more like Mathews with the long riser and little limbs.

[@BackyardBows]

Havnt thought of that yet but I see it with the envision for sure

[@mattman9232]

Good lord bro! ANOTHER!!! video of inconsistency. Bro if your hunting with that kind of accuracy maybe you do just need to go to bag targets an spend hours on them. Im not saying this to just bash you but BRO when killing animals you gotta do better then that. These targets arent even moving an your all over the board.

[@BackyardBows]

5 deer already this season 3 heart shots and 2 double lungs but I appreciate your feedback, picking up a bow for the first time and showing the very first shots take give the most accurate depiction of the shootability of the bow. If I’m taking a bow in the feild you bet I’m comfortable and well practiced with it.

[@flapthecrapster]

Lay off him dude. He’s shooting like four different bows at a time. That’s like going from Glock to 1911 to m9 to revolver. How long have you been shooting bows anyways? When I started shooting dads old bows as a kid, a plate at 30 was gtg to the woods. I like watching his videos I think they’re very informative. I STILL won’t pay 900 bucks for a “budget” Hoyt though I’m sure it’s awesome. My powermax was but it was like 500 bucks. I’m looking at these Elites now.
