I owned several of all three listed.
The Synergy is the smoothest and easiest draw of the 3, the Energy 32 and 35 are very close.
All have huge valleys with adjustability, all have similar let-off over 80%.
Based on your criteria I think you want a Synergy.
That said the E35 is still my favorite Elite ever.
On a side note you may want to wait a few weeks, I believe the 2018 Ritual may be something special.

 

I️ agree with everything stated.

 

Shot both the Synergy and E35. Wanted the longer ATA in the end so went with the E35 but the Synergy felt a tad smoother. REALLY hard to go wrong with either bow style though.

 

Idk...I love my E35 target bow and had a Mathews Halon, so I bought a brand new Synergy this year to see if it was even better than my 35 and Halon for the same reasons he's looking for. Took me a lot of side by side shooting to decide between the Synergy and Halon (wont give up my 35 for indoor). The Synergy got sold and kept the Halon and I like the draw of the 35 every bit as good as the Halon. The Synergy was good but seemed like it had a shorter valley that caused it to be jumpier than I'd like and that was the deciding factor for me....in now looking to try an E32 to see if it will dethrone my Halon for hunting. If it's like my 35 it just might....

 

If your Synergy had a short valley, it was out of tune. Cavernous valley.

 

Pretty confident it was tuned very well. I was actually surprised myself and I guess if I was comparing it to most other bows it woulda been awesome. Made me realize how great the Halon really is. As far as the E35 goes I just really like it for some reason as do many others apparently. That's why I wanna try a 32. The synergy just felt like the cams weren't done rolling over yet even with the stops adjusted all the way(29").

 

Hmmmm. Mine is 29" and it's great. I'm surprised.

 

I personally think the E35 draws better than the synergy. It did not seem to have as bad of a dump at the end of the draw cycle. But neither one is bad.

 

Would agree there is a dump into the valley on my Synergy.

 

I never shot a Synergy, but I sold my Halon quickly and have stuck with my 35. I'm intrigued by the new Elite offerings coming, but man, I love this 35.

 

If I closed my eyes and drew my Synergy and GT 500, It would be hard to tell which one I was drawing, as both have great valleys. They both give me that you have to push it to let down feeling. Had to twist cables a little when I got the Synergy from AT classies, but it was easily done and it is classic Elite feel.

 

Appreciate the responses, anybody else?

 

Get the 35 if it is an do all bow, synergy if it is hunting only.

All three will have that huge valley, as previously mentioned. But the Synergy and E35 are gonna have the smoothest draws. I personally prefer the Energy cam over the Synergy however. Just a stable platform that holds and aims real well.

 

I have a Synergy and an E35 both great shooting bows would be hard to choose for me but I think Id choose the E35 for an all around bow just a joy to shoot. If it was just hunting Id probably go with the Synergy I can hold it on target all day.

 

I have had both an E-35 and a Synergy. I still have the Synergy. Amazing hunting bow, both have very similar draw cycles to me, with the Synergy a tad bit smoother. Can't go wrong with either. Some people love the V-Grip though on the E-35, which I do not believe was available in the Synergy. Something to think about.
