If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
But, if you’ve just got that itch you could go over to Cinnamon Creek and check out their selection and advice. When I was looking for a new bow I went there and they were willing to set up every bow I was interested in, which was a lot, and I shot them all several times through their chronograph for speed and ease of use. They were very accommodating and I ended up with a bow that became the perfect fit for me.

What did you end up with?

My bow is getting pretty old, its a Mathews DXT that I bought in 2010 maybe. Looking at the numbers, newer bows arent much better and I just cant justify buying another unless this one develops some major issue. I do worry a bit about the limbs cracking or something due to age, but otherwise I just dont see a reason to change. Guess Im getting old and set in my ways

Check out Mikes Archery on YouTube. He has a consistent method to measure speed and sound that was helpful when I was shopping. All feel/draw cycles are subjective so definitely have to go shoot all the models, but I thought it was helpful knowing real world specs while at the shop.

I ended up with a Lift 33, my second Mathews over the past 21 years. It’s a great bow, but I still love my PSE carbons. Good luck!

Don't go shoot a new one then!

Zero comparison from todays bows vs. bows 10 years old or older. But if you're happy with it, keep on shooting

what year Elite Pure do you have? I'm looking for a String Stop Rod and Pad and can't seem to find one.

Have you contacted Elite customer service? I needed the rubber arrow-holder piece on an Elite quiver and they sent me a new one for free.

Been shooting a pair of Elite Hunters for about 5-6 years now (bought used). One draw and I was sold. A bunch of deer and hogs didn’t like them. I’m an old guy and these will last me until I can’t hunt any longer.

I may need to call them again, the person I spoke with was clueless and not very helpful. She also promised to email me some information and never did.

Man I bought an Elite Hunter back in 2013 I believe. That was probably my favorite bow that I've owned and I've had a ton of Hoyt, Matthew's, PSE, etc. I gave it to my son-in-law and bought an Elite Remedy but I miss that bow.

OK,
Cinnamon Creek didn’t have the Left hand Mathews Lift and the Elite Ethos, but I shot the 2023 Mathews Phase4 and….
Don’t laugh, but I think I’ll keep my 2013 Elite Pure for now…
Maybe if some cutting edge new technology Compound Bow comes out, I’ll upgrade, but I’m ok for now.

Not to hijack the thread but decided to split the difference and buy a 2017 Halon 32 6 out of the classifieds

ATI- I believe the rubber stop I have on my E35 is from this setup- https://www.ebay.com/itm/30535067696...mis&media=COPY

It's an STS string stop, just install the bumper and throw the remainder in the trash.

There are others on ebay as well.

Nice bow and upgrade!
