Great video sir. Elite came out swinging this year. It's nice to see them bringing accessories for their bows. Definitely understand why you're excited. AT has been circulating about them coming with a LD version of the exalt.

[@Kammeg71]

Can’t wait to try one out. Been waiting a long time for this bow from Elite! Thanks for the review Nate.

[@joshwalker1441]

Bought my first Elite bow in 2007! Loved it!!!

[@timbow50]

I have used a few 35” bows hunting many years. They are great. Awesome stability and easy draw.

[@ojr6857]

I have a 6’10” wing span and I’ve been shooting a pse dream season gx 2009 model for 15 seasons. It’s shorter than my draw but I’ve always just worked with it. Never had an issue but I’m a true 32” draw. At 62# I’m firing 418 grains @ 318 with my set up. I’m wanting to jump to 475 grains and keep over 300 fps. Thinking about this bow for the draw

[@kennylukacs]

Thanks Nate for the review I really like the new elite I really want to come to your shop and buy one but I just checked Google maps you’re six hours from me in Jersey man, oh man, that’s a lot of driving i’ll figure something out. Thanks again.

[@derickprice8996]

How did it tune? Are the cams rubbing or almost rubbing the cables, or did the extra ATA fix that issue?

[@lestaylor8873]

I know Elite has been battling cable to cam rub issues, but I hope they don’t put those yokes on alll flagship bows. Glad to see the Exalts don’t have them! Thanks for the great review!

[@Angel.Custodio]

Draw cycle question, for a 27.5 inch draw. Does the LD (being lower on the cam) then the regular Exalt have a smoother draw? Asweome review

[@averagejackarchery]

I'd go with the Exalt and be in the middle of the cam than the end.

[@brianmiller1580]

really interested in this and the new Darton...I will say this Elite has Darton beat on brace Hieght. still shooting my 2017 Elite Tempo...I think 2025 will be my new bow year!

[@gus1881]

Defeintly a contender for my new hunting bow with 32inch draw. Will wait and see what everyone else brings out.

[@malikferguson1402]

It looks awesome. I think I found my next bow ❤

[@TheBudgetSportsman]

I got a kick out of watching this video and seeing your childlike excitement. Good video buddy!

[@BrianPoe1971]

It's about time Elite gioves the long draw guys something!

[@christianchamagua6894]

Just purchased this today!

[@MAx-zp8bi]

Well done appreciated

[@josephr1198]

More interested in the 35" Darton. The exalt seems weird, short draw (even the long draw isn't that long) And it doesn't feature their new yoke, but is more expensive. Odd bow, I'm sure it's great just odd.

[@zachightower6698]

Great video can't wait to try this at my local shop. Hw much speed will it gain stepping up to the available 75 pound limbs?

[@averagejackarchery]

Who's to say exactly, but I would wager 10-15FPS.

[@michaelschnitzer4054]

If you were also a darton dealer I’d have to take the couple hr trip to check out the shop.

[@Bigdancustomknives]

Finally elite makes a long draw now! I’ll be testing this one out when i get ready to buy after the first of the year

[@gordonneverdies]

Is that a Z-Light back there to the left?

[@everythingoutdoors-vl9bl]

How’s it hold up against the bowtech revolt xl?

[@averagejackarchery]

Pretty neck and neck from the numbers. The LD is definitely faster, Revolt is stupid smooth. Of course the Revolt is 33ATA.

[@mrproduct5810]

Does it have the same Elite back wall where it feels like you can hold it all day?

[@averagejackarchery]

Yup!

[@johnnyderfus3647]

Yes

[@stevemarod6162]

Would you recommend this bow or the regular Exalt 35 for a 29.25-29.5" draw length?

[@averagejackarchery]

Exalt. Get the most performance out of the cam at the end than the middle.

[@sarcazmo]

What is the reflex of the riser?

[@averagejackarchery]

Go ask MFJJ. He is literally the only person I see review that number and also never follow his own advice on it. I couldn't care less even if one paid me to care less.

[@sarcazmo]

@@averagejackarchery just curious. I’ve just noticed I tend to shoot bows with a lower reflex better than those without. I had no clue the exalt ld was coming out or I wouldn’t have placed an order for a sequel 35 st2

[@BrianScott-d7j]

For the average 29” draw guys, which would you choose the exalt or the ld?

[@averagejackarchery]

I would go with the Exalt and get the most performance of the cam for you at your draw length.

[@derickprice8996]

Shooting the Ethos now at 31” draw, I think this is what I should have waited for. These cams probably produce a great string angle, which is a struggle for me with the Ethos.

[@bowdengodfrey1789]

I'm with you there. I had the Ethos for a couple months and loved it but couldn't get past the string angle at 31." This is exactly the bow I was hoping for!

[@averagejackarchery]

I thought I would have the same problem but the 31" draw for me and the string angle was a non issue for both hunting and 3D.

[@StanielP]

I’m 6’1” with a 32 inch draw length

[@HuckFTW]

8:27 75” ATA!!!

[@averagejackarchery]

LOL! I caught that in editing and I was like. Nah. I'll leave it in there for people to enjoy. 🤣

[@mat_in_texas]

Shot the Exalt 35 in the shop. Already saving my Pennies, best bow I’ve ever shot.

[@matthewmargarcelli9779]

What’s your opinion on the elite hntr33

[@averagejackarchery]

Video to come! Great addition to Elite lineup this year.

[@justinjackson6696]

i think its a bit premature to say "bow of the year" with some to still release but i get your excitement for that platform

[@longdrawarcher4857]

About time

[@sportbikeguy9875]

damn, you draw that 70 lbs like its 40 lol. i've got a 70lb Omnia, turned down the max 3 full turns, sitting at 63 lbs. i dont see much of a reason to rush a weight increase, that bow is FAST at 29.5" 63#

[@averagejackarchery]

I'm not kidding when I say it's smooth! I'm far from a body builder. LOL

[@dynamicdiversion9919]

How is the grip compared to the E35? I love mine tried a victory x and hated it.

[@averagejackarchery]

The old banana grips of the E series are long gone. Changed in 2017 with the Option and have almost been the same since.

[@johnnyderfus3647]

I bought a LD yesterday ... Grip is GOOD and VERY CLOSE to a E35 -I have a 2016 model E35 as well .. LD is MUCH more stable than E35. Much better grip than Victory. have 2 Victorys and love them but really believe the LD will be superior .. .got a few arrows to go before saying for sure though.

[@Gibsonlife573]

Can you get it in a 60 lb bow I'm saying 60 lb limbs that way keep everything dialed in you know there's a lot of people say you know letting those limbs out you really take away the efficiency of the bow blah blah blah I'm really interested but did they make this just normal I thought you said or I could run it I'm only 28 and a half inches

[@optimuscrime608]

An LD bow will never be “bow of the year” They are made for a handful of people. They are never really the companies flagship bow

[@MikeyWoomer]

26.5 to 32 fits a lot of ppl

[@traditionalbowhunter5862]

bro you're not a big guy lol.

[@ryanbealer4280]

Just a quick comment... the setting for this video is horrible.... your background is so cluttered and messy that it's hard to even see this featured bow....

[@averagejackarchery]

I wish I could film this is my studio at my house, but I can't stand up to shoot this bow (ceiling too short) nor have the chrono available. Welcome to having the busiest bow shop in central PA!

[@ryanbealer4280]

@averagejackarchery I've watched a lot of your videos and enjoy them. Perhaps, that's why this one caught me off guard. You still have a follower with me !
