talked with a storm dealer over the phone and he said that the elite is going for about $699.00. he also gave his opinion that its a great shooting bow and that it has a lifetime warrenty on it and they stand by their bows. still would like to hear opinions on them from people that shoot them or have seen them

Storm's are nice bows (so is the Diamond Machete you have there..I'd love to get one )..been shooting the Storm F6 for awhile,also had a F28E1 with the cam on the top and it is a real nice too..Haven't had a chance to shoot the Elite... but I'll be keeping the F6

 

The Elite is a big step forward for Storm as is the rest of the '05 line... but I think it's a bit pricey ($750) for a company w/ very little following. We carried the '04 Storm line at Gander Mtn.. from the F6 to the F28.. they were originally $500.. then $350.. now down to $200-250.. people wouldn't buy them.. a few have been sold since the price came down.. It's just not a name the recognize.. and for '05 Gander Mtn will no longer carry the Storm bows. They just didn't sell.

I personally think that they have come a ways w/ the '05 models.. but still have a ways to go.

Personally I wouldn't buy an Elite at $700-750.. you can get any bow for the same $$$. Not to mention the resale value... and what happens if they aren't around in a few years?


I edited out alot of this post.. don't want people to think I'm bashing... if you have any questions or want any unbiased opinions of Storm bows drop me a PM.

 

If you wouldn't pay the price for it...it means you have never shot it.

Try it ...you might find it to be worth every penny one it. :teeth:

 

Iterry... actually yes I have shot it... on a few different occasions.. Both times w/ one of the company owners Pete.

It's a nice bow and shot very well.. but I don't know if it's up to par w/ the Switchback, Allegiance, Vengeance, Illusion.. which are all less than $700.

 

I'll say this for Storm - they'll go out of their way to take care of you.

I almost bought the Elite this week (still want one) but bought the F-28 as my hunting bow. Dollar for dollar, pound for pound, it's as well made as anything out there. The fit and finish are excellent and the cam is smooth as silk, with a nice solid back wall.

Give Pete a call and see if you can get an Elite, or even another bow in the line. I think you'll be happy.

How many companies are out there where you can talk directly to the owners and head engineer :teeth:

 

I know of one. Look in my signature. :tongue: :teeth:

 

I have owned MANY Storm bows and I will say they are right up there with all the other brands. If you want a SOLID hunting bow there are very few that will be on par with Storm!
Plus Mr. Terry will take care of you no matter what! Great company-Superior product--AWESOME customer service!! :thumbs_up :thumbs_up

 

Mono.. I've seen a few issues on the '04s... I won't go into detail.. because I don't want to be considered bashing.

Like I said.. I think they made some great improvements for '05.. and would love to see them excel. I don't have any issues w/ the company.. and I think the crew are great to deal with.

 

All my Storms were '03 and '04's..The only problem I had was with the draw stop modification. Other than that.....
