Should have called it the Ritual 34.75😉

Honestly every time they have put out a faster 6" brace bow they draw a lot of negative comments. The Impulses and Option most recently (although I love my I34). I for one came to Elite for the smooth draw and great valley and haven't been disappointed. If I wanted something fast I'd look at a different manufacturer. They still have the Option 6 available. IMO a 330s something bow is the ultimate compromise of speed and shootability.

The year they brought out the Impulse series They had there best year ever I was still a dealer then...Elite could not produce the bows fast enough...As far as the Options they were a flop...Not saying Elite is making a slow bow they just need to step up the game a little...Due your self a favor and find a good tuned Pulse that is your specks 2013 model and slings some arrows thru it and see what ya think...As far as the Impulse series in my area there was a ton of positive comments on the 31 and 34....Elite will eventually get back to its Roots hopefully... Best of luck

I have the Ritual 35 on order after shooting everything at the show. It was a tough call between the Revol XL, Ritual 35 and RX3 Ultra. The Revol XL has a much better valley than the original Revol and is just a pleasure to shoot. If you have a long draw length the Revol XL would be the bow to get.

Not sure I will sell my R33 just yet but from my limited experience with the R35, I think it's even better. Cant wait to run it through the crony and shoot some long range groups with it. Elite said I probably won't see it until March.

I wish Elite could get their stuff back in order as a business because they are building some outstanding bows the last couple years.

dnv23 Thanks for posting. Good to hear from someone who owns an R33. I plan on ordering an R35 next week for a dedicated 3d/indoor bow.

The Revol XL sounds like it may be a hit as well.

I'm actually very intrigued by the Ritual 35. I do wish that the IBO was 340 even if it meant 6.0 brace height. I find that a longer bow can handle a shorter brace and still hold very well and be forgiving. I also like the quick ramp up on the Rituals that I shot with a nice valley.
I've been shooting 350 IBO bows since 2010. The evolution of easier shooting speed bows is amazing. I loved my D350 but the Realm SR shoots as fast but with a better draw cycle. Wish Elite would come out with something with Judge specs or GT500. Best bows they made. All that said a R35 in 75 pounds may be my bow... If they made it in 75 pounds.... or 80....
