I have an older Elite GT500 now as well as a Mathews Halon 32. Shooting side by side, alternating one bow to the other, bows basically set up the same as both are set up for me. Same draw length, draw weight, brace height, even the same arrows. I was amazed at how much more energy the Elite put in the arrow than the Mathews. The arrows out of the Elite were noticeably deeper into the target than from the Mathews and a real pain to pull out! But, the Mathews is hands down the smoother of the 2.

Best to all going out for archery hunting whatever you use, be safe!
