Elite Ethos 2024 Review

[@thomasvanderhoff768]

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

[@thomasvanderhoff768]

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

[@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.

[@coffeensteak]

I have elite enkore and I agree 100% with you. It’s amazing how smooth it shoots. my strings have stretched a little so Iam at 68.5 pounds 470 gr arrow and it still moving at 294 FPS.

[@heavyd2249]

happy Elite Kure shooter here too!

[@joshuaward5116]

I have an Elite Terrain and it drives nails.

[@chrississon2646]

I have one , good bow for the money

Really dig that color

[@jessetherrien7851]

Me too. Looks great.

[@thomasvanderhoff768]

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

[@IamtheArcher777]

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.

[@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 .

[@tsi-rocket4144]

The pic mounts are sweet and I have them on another bow. No reason not to offer them. I'm setup for traditional bow accessories so its not a bid deal to me. After shooting 4400 arrows thru my omnia with factory strings, I'm more concerned with shot/cost ratio and elite has done that for me. I didn't know I needed a 33" bow but this bow is on my radar already. I need to get away from daily shooting a speed bow, this bow has appropriate speed and should have a smoother draw than my omnia.

[@michaelmangino9819]

Yes it add a ton of vibration to this bow. I put a damper on end of my sight that cured that

[@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.

[@michaelmangino9819]

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

[@timgreen1813]

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.

[@mikeguy9668]

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

[@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!!

[@joebell54]

Any chance you might do a review on the Kairos?

[@Angel.Custodio]

Have you done a speed test on the Kairos? I'm wondering if it's faster at 27.5 inches

[@InsideOutPrecision]

I haven’t yet but I guarantee it is. It’s designed to be more efficient at shorter draw lengths

[@tomkovacik131]

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?

[@douglasvaughn9530]

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.

[@tsi-rocket4144]

My limb stops hit first and the cable stops hit a smidge after with felt on them.

[@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.

[@CalIMeBad]

I’ll probably just end up using the limb stop that has a post you can screw in, but would love to hear some feedback if I’m not screwing in the draw stop hard enough lol

[@UltraLimitedHD]

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

[@mikewilder5577]

Nice looking bow

[@frankspataro9714]

Thats a hammer behind ya dang

[@joshuaquintero2198]

Is it supposed to tick like that at full draw?

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Just loose mod screw

[@wcwcgarner2717]

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.

[@barrelmaker3930]

What?...so you have to buy all new expensive accessories. No!!

[@jonathanhoward1497]

@@barrelmaker3930I agree. Sometimes it seems that people forget how lethal we were with quivers that stuck out like the Kwikee Kwiver. I never noticed my lethality increasing as I went with newer bow sights, quivers and stabilizers.

[@Peytonthepoolhustler]

How adjustable is the draw weoght

[@InsideOutPrecision]

You can get the 70lb limbs down to about 55

[@richardganz9318]

does the cables still rub ?

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Where? If your cables were rubbing something wasn’t set up correctly

[@Angel.Custodio]

Seems slower then their IBO, but I guess that’s the norm now. Smooth draw bows always are in that range

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Didn’t shoot it in IBO specs, but yeah I’ve actually never seen a bow that meets IBO hah

[@crabwalk1891]

Not sure if I missed it, was that the performance mod or the smooth mod?

[@InsideOutPrecision]

Performance

[@timberg7377]

Who makes a good bow with a 5 in brace hight?

[@InsideOutPrecision]

The PSE Omen is probably the best shooting bow with a brace height like that

[@timberg7377]

@@InsideOutPrecision Thanks, I truly appreciate your time.

[@mikeguy9668]

Why are you after a 5" brace height when theres bows that shoot faster that are much more forgiving ​@@timberg7377

[@madwe2269]

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

[@tradarcher300]

impossible is a huge stretch, I'm hunting my veracity 35 fine

[@300blackout4]

Because no one ever hunted with a 52 inch recurves
