Just came back from a wild TAC filmed two of our best matches and shooting ever. Excited to share! Now go shoot your bow
I absolutely love your videos, I have definitely been shooting more because of them. I appreciate the realness in how you approach things and that you are honest about where you came from and where you are going! Road to 100K! I'll be here all the way!
🤔🧐
Hell yeah, Elite’s finally getting some love
Hell yeah, BROTHER!
@@22snowboardguyhell yeah borther.
Tim Conner has quickly grown to be my favorite and the best Bow TH-camr because he keeps it real. He's not biased and he gives you his honest opinion and the truth and everyone loves someone who always tells the truth
These guys advertise a lot for Matthew’s. They hey paid by Matthew’s. His best bud sells Matthew’s to get a bonus….
It’s funny when he says the bows Cam issue can be fixed with Matthew’s screws 😂…
Don’t believe everything they tell you. Remember they get paid to say what they say….
@@2010elmonstruoNot true it doesn't say there is a paid sponsor and he points out things that are wrong with it. Companies don't let you point out bad things about it when it's a paid promotion. Don't believe everything you think
That last group was the best I've seen on your channel and I'm comparing that to your groups at 50 in the past. It's pretty clear how far you've come as a target archer and that elite is treating you very well!
Thanks G
I also use the Hamskea raptor peep. I recently started tying my peep in with half hitch knots equally on all 4 sides of the peep. This helped in keeping my peep square to my sight housing while at full draw. I was constantly fighting peep twist with the conventional method, which was causing left and right misses.
First
😂
If you ain’t first your last 🫡
@@TimConnor13 he was high when he said that!!
Hi Tim thanks for your content, with your draw length, I think I heard 28.5 why not the Kairos ? I ordered the Kairos, Brett from Australia
As a lefty, zero shops ever have Elite bows in stock for me to try. Hopefully one day I will come across one I can try out.
We get screwed on test driving bows.
@@parkerlipetzky We do! Just being a lefty makes it tough, but then throw in that I am a 50-60 lb guy and there is NEVER a lefty/60 lb bow for testing in any shop!
Elite is well overdue there flowers. I can appreciate all the bows out but i have a soft spot for Elites.
I have been shooting Elite for over a decade. They just point and hold better for me. I think the smooth draw cycle contributes to that somewhat.
I feel the same way about my Era. I’ve owned a lot of hunting bows over the years, and I can’t remember one as good as the Era. It flat out shoots for me. Rumor has it Elite will be dropping a 34” Carbon bow this year, if that’s the case, I’m all in!!!
Very good
The reason for the brace height speed difference is the same difference between long draw and short draw.
Think about it like the total distance from your anchor to the grip. The brace height is the stop distance from your grip to the BH. If you shorten the brace you increase string travel, or increase the total draw length you also increase string travel, more strong travel = more speed.
Inversely, if you increase BH, or decrease draw length, you shorten string travel, which equals less speed.
As a 27.5 inch draw this is my plight, short aggressive BH for speed, or comfort lol
I understand that.. what I don’t understand is how elite made a bow so fast that feels so smooth
I love my Ethos. It is an awesome bow. I know one pro archer that shot a 900 in Vegas this year with the Ethos. The draw stop and draw lenght module screws loosened up on mine during set up/paper tuning, but that was on me. I tightened them up more and have not had them loosen again. I do check them periodically to make sure they are tight. The one weird thing for me is that I can see one of the cables in my sight picture. I have basically mentally tuned that out and don't notice it anymore. Good luck at TAC and enjoy your Ethos!!!
TAC was awesome!
Tim how much do you think 10,000ft elevation change effects your sight tape? I live at sea level on the coast in high humidity. You think 5fps? More or less?
Yep same thing on the pinky I feel u! I need it tucked in
🫡
Your spoiled most shops in my area are brand specific. We don’t have an Elite dealer , bowtech dealer , or a PSE dealer. We have a few shops that are either
Hoyt/Bear/few older bowtechs
Mathews/Mission/Darton
Mathews/hoyt/older PSE
They all say they can order me a bow from any manufacturer but then what If I don’t like it I’m stuck. Your in the perfect scenario and probably don’t even know it 😂🤷♂️
Did you try the limb stops on that bow?? I’ve used them in all my elite’s. Love the way it feels with that solid back wall
It’s funny when you say Matthew’s screws fixed the Cam issue… how many Matthew’s bows did you sell, and what was your bonus after selling them?…
I just want to say im SUPER jealous of the bow shop and range that you are able to use with MFJJ. I REALLY wish i had something like that close to me. We have a bow shop in town but not the bow range and it makes me sad
I love your content. I like your technological system upgrades to your technology techniques.
…I swear, the overuse of “technology” for every little thing is fucking running rampant in the archery and outdoor industry lol.
Glad the bows working for you. Definitely looks more stable compared to other stuff I've seen you shoot. Have you tried pulling your side bar in closer? Wonder if your slight wiggle is being amplified by it.
Keep the content coming, best produced archery content on youtube.
You and the boiz should do another TAC challenge but with production bows and equipment that came out the year you graduated high school. eBay builds
If you compare video of how steady you hold this Elite bow here vs the Bear bow at SA TAC, theres a world of difference. You also seem more relaxed here which probably has something to do with it.
You should try out a couple of the more affordable flagship hunting bows from Sanlida and Topoint for those that can't afford to spend a fortune on a bow. They have some good reviews and they're half the price of US bows. Just an idea.
Lock your draw stops down to the highest let off setting.. then put the limb stops on so you can get more holding way if you like it… Then put a small O-ring on the limb stops to give you a little squish if you like that. Elites aren’t meant to be shot off the string stops the limbs tops, or a far superior system.
Ran the ethos through some shots at the shop the other day, its definitely top of the list for upgrade time. String angle, draw, adjustability, cable and limb stop options, multiple stab mounting options and the set technologie as well as adjustable roller guard.
Keep up the awesome videos, Tim! You have definitely become my favorite bow content creator as of late! 🤘🤘
1st time I shot an elite I bought it that day elite pulse 308 fps crazy fast that’s at 28 draw length until this year I haven’t shot bow that I wanted to buy that was better feeling to me.
Still loving your slider? Might’ve broke down and picked one up… none time to go sight it in with my new arrow setup.
You look very comfortable at full draw with this bow.
I haven’t ever had that issue with the elite mods sucks it happened to you and yes you can use set for bh tuning it is backwards of what paper tear is, if bh right move left on set
I've heard elite has too light cam materials that give long term problems with abuse, is this true?
what happened to the bear alaskan that won the trio comparison do you still shoot it?
Just wanted to drop a comment and say if it wasnt for you and MFJJ i wouldnt have got my first bow(Mathews Lift) and gone down the rabbit hole. Keep crushing the content.
Awesome my friend ✊
Of course you can tune broadheads with Set.
I put smooth mods on my omnia. Extra smooth and no change in site tapes
Love seeing the content ! I do have a question though. Is there a reason why you have your UV slider positioned all the way forward instead of pushed back towards the rest ?! Thanks in advance
Mostly for peep alignment.. that’s where it framed up best
@@TimConnor13gotcha ! I was just curious about the reasoning or if it was more of a preference adjustment. I’m using the UV slider as well but mine is pushed in as far as it can towards the bow
You look so much more comfortable at full draw. Your release breaks so much cleaner/more naturally than it used to as well. Keep up the good work!
Thank you duderino
Welcome Home Timmy!
I am torn between 3 bows right now the Darton consequence the bear white tail max and the bear Alaskan xt
Darton or Alaskan
I think this is your 4th best hunting bow for the year and it is not half over. 😅
I don’t use that type of sight nor any stabs for hunting and that is a known issue with that peep
Hoping for 4 more 🫡
Have you shot the SS34 ?
Great stuff Tim, absolutely agree with you.
The Ethos is by far the best hunting/3d bow I've ever shot
Well done mate, it's good to see how far you have come 👍
Hey Tim, about that screw that moved...did you ask MFJJ? Anyways keep the content coming as I'm really new to all this so thanks for sharing your passion. Here's hoping you reach 100k subscribers this year!!!
I'm still shooting my 2017 elite tempo feels great shoots great! Maybe 2025 I'll upgrade?
I own the Omnia and Kairos, both have the same draw stops and they have never moved. I always go through my bows and make sure the screws are good and tight when the bows are new.
Love my Elite bows. They can't be touched in the speed to feel or adjustability. The best grip in the game imo.
how do you like the podium bars? im wanting to do the same 15 & 10 setup on my lift, just cant decide i should stick to my 12 & 10 quattros or make the switch.
Keep up the awesome videos, Tim! You have definitely become my favorite bow content creator as of late! 🤘🤘
I like a four finger!
Tim, the first thing I did with these elite bows (omnia and ethos) was put a stealth strip on the draw stops to eliminate that noise when the stops hit. Then I put string wax on the back of the mods and put them back on because occasionally these bows will do that thing that some pse bows do where it makes a random pop noise at the shot even though everything is tight. The wax fills any space that could be in there and fixes the issue. I do recommend using blue loctite if any of your screws are getting loose. The only negative I have on these bows is the hardware is not as good as some other brands...(like bowtech) I've stripped a few screws. I called elite and told them and they shipped me an extra set of every screw for both bows, free of charge.
Lastly...I don't find the smooth mods change the feel of the bow very drastically (at 29.5), it just made it feel like less poundage. It went from feeling like 70 to 65, with only a loss of 3-5 fps instead of the 10 you would lose by actually setting it 5 lbs less.
Great video! Sorry for the extended comment.
Saw you cruising around BigSky. No bow in hand only camera, you looked like you were on a mission haha. Just wanted to say it's cool seeing someone give Elite an honest review and try them out. I'm really enjoying mine but not many people giving them love.
I switched to specialty peeps. When the occasional twist occurs, the aperture is still in the center of the string.
Wishing I'd never sold my Elite enkore, or my bowtech ss34
Welcome to the @elitearchery show. Glad you guys finally gave them their flowers. Great Chanel btw!!
Elite is underrated. They have come along way in the past 5 years.
Tim, you can use the limb stops instead of cable stops that wouldn’t slide at all. I installed the limb stops on my omnia.
Hot glue behind the screw might work. sometimes the most weird things work.
Please share how to make the bow stand, I really need a solution without taking something off every session.
When you're done with that, I'd love to have the bare bow. the draw length fits me exactly
Yep had the same issue with the let off. Ended up striping out the bolt trying to tighten it.
If you set the stix further back toward the cam and use the front rod as the third balance point it will keep you off the cam, spread them as far as possible to give the most stable balance.
You should do a verdict to see how you like elites' target bows. If you like the ethos, you'll love the verdict
Have you looked at trying the total peep peep? Would love to see a review on it!
Tim, what does that bow weigh in it's kitted out form ?
How do you feel about the pin brightness on the uv slider
Qué material es el que está hecho el objetivo ? Minuto 5:17?
What do you think of the DCA vanes?
I think people expect too much from a bow in that it’s a highly engineered mechanical device. So much energy, vibration etc involved. It’s NOT a forever perfect piece of machinery. Many issues are created by the user. Like never checking screws, bolts etc.
Bows have changed very little spec-wise in the past 10+ years. My bow specs are 340 fps, 6.25" brace height, 35" ATA, and 4.5 pounds. If I replaced it with today's model (same brand), the specs would be 342 fps, 6.25" brace height, 34" ATA, & 4.5 pounds. My current bow is 11 years old (2013 model). I prefer my bow over the new models, & I would feels stupid buying a new bow. Buy a good quality bow & enjoy for years to come. Tune out the marketing hype. My bow has a lifetime warranty including lifetime cables/string. I don't see myself buying another new bow in my lifetime, but I won't live forever.
Hello Tim my name is Gerry Houston I'm looking to buy new bow. I'm looking at Elite Omnia 32 or the Darton Squeal 31
I shot both an ended up with the Omnia. Very happy. Speed is great and I liked the draw better.
“That’s pretty good for me.” Comments like that are what I love about your channel, TC. Keep it up brother.
Thank you dude
Enjoyed this video!!! Thanks!!!
Loving your content
Looking good Tim!
Smooth mods are actually crazy I’ve shot the performance an 75% mods but the smooth are my favorite
Elite probably has the best stock strings
