I was at a toss up between a Bowtech Assassin and an Elite pulse but after the reviews and great history I have had with Elite I have decided on a pulse UNLESS some amazing priced bow comes my way. I am a shorter draw archer and I WANT the speed and the speed IS important to me as I hunt with 1 pin so the flatter the better. I have shot Elite bows and I am quite comfortable with them. I have seen the arrow speed calculators but I know some people who work on their own bows actually get more out of them than what is posted. I will be shooting 65-70# 27.5 draw with a 360g arrow, D-loop and peep. I would like to hear some of the speeds some of you Elite owners are getting.
