There’s something special about walking for miles and long hours to finally feel the gratification of laying claim to a shed. While it’s a fun pastime for some, for others it is a means of income or a prime opportunity to practice some quality deer management.  

Cam lean is one of the most discussed, debated and argued topics across archers when talking about bow tuning and its effects. There are many different approaches to addressing cam lean. Some choose to ignore it or pretend it does not exist, while some utilize it as a tuning tool. The reality is that it does exist in varying degrees on every compound bow and should be understood by anyone who wants to get a more precise shot.

A bow featuring the pinnacle of feel, form and function.

For 2017, Elite Archery has built upon the belief that your bow should feel as great as it looks-without sacrificing any performance. The result is the Option Series™, built around the basic principle that your bow must always perform as well as you do, especially under less than ideal conditions.

A Tactical Work Of Art: The 2017 ELITE Tempo™
A bow that delivers everything you want—and expect—from an ELITE.

Henrietta, NY (March 20, 2017) – ELITE Archery recognizes that bowhunters demand as much from their bow as any competitive shooter: precision, shootability, industry-leading technology and lethal aesthetics. The new-for-2017 ELITE Tempo™ is that ideal package. 

The technology upon which ELITE has built its extensive lineup of high-performance hunting bows has been further enhanced in the Tempo. The Tempo's backbone delivers balanced energy distribution to the bow's beyond-parallel limbs, creating ELITE's notoriously unparalleled shootability in a package that's attainable by everyone. 

The Tempo generates its power from a Two-Track cam system, which provides one track for the string and another for both cables. Because this design creates an inherently narrower cam system, it brings the cable load closer to center, drastically reducing cam lean. To further the efficiency of the entire system, the cams are linked, which ensures consistent cam timing and synchronization. Once tuned, the Tempodelivers straight and level nock travel.

Newly designed PALS (Perfect Alignment Limb System) limb pockets create unmatched limb support. And when paired with the double-laminated limbs, more speed is created while reducing overall noise and vibration. The proven Riser Cage reduces overall weight and vibration while increasing strength and stiffness in key areas of the riser. 

And finally, the fit and finish is as much a part of the Tempo as is the integrated technology. The tolerances are tight. Every surface is fully machined. The Tempo is a work of art.

With incredibly stable geometry, the capabilities of what a bow can do has been pushed further than ever. The Tempo delivers everything you'd want in a high-end hunting bow—and everything you've come to expect from an ELITE.
