Don't read much about the Elite smooth mods. Are there not many people shooting them?

ya i don't think buying the smooth ones will be worth it either since it's already a awesome bow. - nice CS LEWIS quote

Omnia and Enkore aren’t on the same level when it comes to smooth mods. I owned both bows. Smooth mod’s aren’t necessary with Enkore. The cam on the Omnia is much more aggressive and the smooth mods make a BIG difference. They are way better and still give you a 340ish bow. They are actually super comparable to the Enkore with performance mods. Very similar draw and very similar speed. Dumped my Omnia for other reasons but the cam draw and performance wasn’t one of them. In draw cycle relative to performance the Omnia smooth mods are only rivaled by PSE EC cams. They are superior to all other competitors. If only they had gotten the setup (relative to rub/tuning issues) right on the Omnia it would have been tough to beat.

interesting how 1/2 people say smooth mods are great and 1/2 don't really notice a difference. I'm just looking at this post because I got a elite ethos recently, i love it the way it is with performance mods and was trying to see if it's worth spending the money and time putting on the smooth ones. Don't think i will after weighing all the reviews since it's already Mint

It has a lot to do with the type of draw cycle people prefer, the poundage and the DL. Any cam is going to feel "worse" at the longer DLs whereas most cams feel more smooth at the shorter DLs. A lot of things factor into the draw cycle and how each individual person interprets that draw cycle.

I tried both on my Era honestly could not tell an difference. I did lose 5fps with the smooth mods. I'm shooting 50lbs at a 28in. draw. So, I stuck with the performance mods. I have a Bowtech proven 34 as well and I’m shooting it with the performance.

I’m currently running smooth mods on my Verdict and performance mods on my Ethos. Draw cycle differs on the back end. The performance mods have a bit more of a dump compared to the smooth mods. I will say that the draw cycle on the performance mods is still very acceptable to me. I think the heavier poundage you shoot the more you will notice the difference. I’m shooting 60# on the Verdict and 65# on the Ethos at about 28 inches. I have a friend that is shooting an Ethos at 75# and he’s all in on smooth mods.

I had two Omnia's and now have an Era and switched them all to smooth mods. It's much easier on my draw shoulder and just more pleasurable to shoot. I'm 64 yo and shoot 60 lbs, 29" draw.
As others have stated it's only a 4-5 fps decrease in speed. My friend bought one of my Omnia's and he liked the performance mods, but he is only 35 yo.

Honestly never really saw a difference. Didn’t test it through a chronograph but I was hitting in the same spot with both the cable stops and limb stops out to 80 yards can’t really go further at my house. Did however just go back to my cable stops with my thumb release because I pull through with a thumb vs my hinge which I rotate more of a controlled command shot. If I try to pull through with my limb stops tends to send my arrows left.
