I don't like the carbon in my opinion, Ive never shot an elite but i hear they are one of the smoothest but lack in speed. I shoot a carbon spyder30 now.
I shot the Mathews creed last year, and loved it. Great fast smooth bow. But creed xs is just a little small which adds to the difficulty with stability. And the chill seemed to have a really spongy back wall to me. I killed a couple deer with my creed and I just thought something was missing so...
I had the bowtech experience and it was an awesome bow. I hear the elites are nice but lack in speed. But the experience was shooting over its ibo speed.
My buddy is just getting into bow hunting and he chose the hoyt ignite. It ranges from 15-70 pounds and the draw length can be adjusted without switching cams for many lengths.
I bought a like brand new 2013 bowtech experience. I have heard a lot of good things about this bow, so I started looking for one and found a great deal. This bow retails for 899.99 bare I believe. I found a package on Craigslist and ended up taking this package home for 1000 bucks today...
