hey everybody this is pj reilly from lancaster archery here in the tog studio in west henriet
in new york and i'm here with elite pro nathan brooks and nathan this is exciting we have a
great new bow from elite give us a quick rundown on what this bow is and what it could do so this
is the new 2022 basin there's a lot of people in this space okay so it's it's adjustable from
20 to 70 pounds it's all aluminum components on the bow so no plastic parts
it has a huge range on draw length from 16 to 30 inch draw length and it's 3.9 pounds both feels
great has a great feeling back wall what what this bow really does is it is a great entry-level bow
uh for the guy that's looking to um you know to get his first bow or the young adult that's
growing as well right right we're going to talk about this bow top to bottom here in a second
nathan i'm excited about that let's check out the specs for the elite basin the elite basin measures
32 and 3 8 inches axle to axle it's got a brace height of 6 and 11 16 inches an ibo speed rating
of 315 feet per second it's got a mass weight of 3.9 pounds let off is adjustable up to 80 percent
and we're going to have a rotating module to give you draw length adjustments from 16 to 30 inches
it's going to be also adjustable in draw weight from 20 to 70 pounds
all right nathan so let's run down this bow here starting out with this cam here tell us what's
unique and great about it yeah pj this cam system has a huge range on it from 16 to 30 inch draw
length and because it's so huge there's a lot of people that comes into this space that's looking
for a value-packed bow and that's what this bow offers partially because of the cam system right
it's got this great limb stop here of course elite you've had this pad here the last couple
of years so it brings it back man that super solid back wall as you mentioned with these new archers
you know that's one thing one check that they can commit to okay now i know where that back wall
is because there's no guessing with this thing right and when you're shooting a bow uh that's
so important whether you're you know a beginning archer or even a seasoned archer you need that
good stop and good feel to uh have consistent shots yeah the draw weight range now that's
one of the things i like because a lot of people tend to see these adjustable bows and they think
kids bows this one goes to 70 pounds obviously that's not a kid right so this is one that can be
used by anybody and one of the things i know that we talk about is you can have a new archer coming
in you know a big guy you know in his 30s whatever and he's probably strong enough to
pull 70 pounds but he's new so maybe he should be starting out at 45 to get that coordination down
before he moves up this is one bow that can handle all that otherwise you know if he starts at 45
then he may have to get another bow to get up to 60. right absolutely and what it also does is
let's uh let's just talk about a young adult that's growing and let's say there's you know 18
19 inch draw length when they get the bow they'll be able to go down low enough to the poundage that
they need to develop good form and as they grow the bow continues to grow with it yeah
you could keep this i mean a kid starting out at 13 years old could keep this all the way up into
their 30s and one of the cool things about it is that lifetime warranty absolutely a hunt guarantee
as well so it packs in all the features that elite offers so i just learned about that hunt guarantee
today where if i'm out hunting and i dropped this out of my tree stand which i've done before
not with this bow but if i break something boom elite will ship a bow to the nearest post office
you know as fast as they can right that's great insurance yeah absolutely you spend a lot of
money going off on a hunting trip and you know who wants to be caught in in that situation right and
not have anything to hunt with so so let's take a look at the riser there because i mean this is
this looks like your typical elite riser you know it's mostly vertical just slight uh d flex there
i mean this thing is a solid shooting machine got your cage riser up there tell us what you like
about this because you shot them all well you know honestly i'm a grip guy you know so i love i love
a good feeling grip a narrow throat so this this really has a great feel um for a young kid all the
way up to an adult right obviously i'm no spring chicken anymore so it fits my hand pretty well and
i really like that about the bow and then it has the attachments for the elite quiver if you wanted
to attach that on the bow and so it has again features that elite offers unique to elite bows
and it's just because it's in that value range right or what we might even call a beginner's
bow it still has all the uh all the benefits that you would find that's the thing i like to
keep coming back to is that this thing is sort of the entry-level bow it's got that value price
down there that you know hey not everybody wants to come in and buy that flagship boat they want
to get into bow hunting one and get into archery but they don't want to pay that flagship price
right this is one that parents and let's face it everything is going up these days and inflation is
happening so you know there's a lot of people that's looking for that and when you bring up
parents that's really interesting because you know a lot of people will come in to buy this bow
um you know as a kid yeah you know they the parents bring their kids in and next thing you
know they're like hey let me try parents wind up buying the bow as well because it fits them for
sure yeah this is one bow that literally the whole family could shoot absolutely you can adjust that
draw length draw weight you could have everybody shooting it i wanted to point out here nathan one
of the things i like is we got the dual uh burger buttons there if your rest has the room for those
two bolts in there bow hunters especially you know we're kind of hard on equipment
you can lock that rest in place with two bolts it's not going anywhere yeah it seems like
um that's a simple thing but it's really a really big thing it is because obviously if anything
moves on a bow you're not going to hit the same spot anymore and accuracy is everything and that's
one thing that we put even into consideration when we're building these uh value pack bows you know
you want to look at a beginner entry level hey they're going to be rough on stuff too it's not
just the guys that have you know the big flagship bows and go on these big elaborate hunts um
the guys that are that are using these bows are more than likely out hunting on public land and
they're you know they're hooking it for everything they got you know they're working hard so
we want to make sure that everything stays solid so we talked about the cams something that i like
about a cam setup like this are these split yokes just for paper tuning you
got a new archer one of the simplest ways to do tuning is paper tuning that's the most visually
simple way to do it it's something most people can understand and boy with those yokes you know once
you get your center shot good if you just have a little left and right tear a couple twists in
either side you can straighten out those uh holes absolutely all of accuracy really boils back down
to how well the bow is tuned and then obviously the shooter has a major part in that sure but
a great shooter can only be as accurate as your bow is tuned right so nathan one of the things
that companies want to do when they are trying to get that cost of a bow down is they change
the manufacturing they obviously they want to crank things out they use different parts that
didn't happen here tell us about the construction of this boat well all aluminum machined riser
limb pockets all of it is super high quality i mean you'll see that the edges are rounded
so it's not square edge and all that cost money it absolutely costs money to do so uh you know
when you look at the value of what's actually in this for machining it's fantastic so nathan
another thing i mean winner's choice strings and cables yeah those are top end you know
on a on a split yoke system like this that's 130 value that's added to this bow that you wouldn't
have to go spend in you know a custom set of strings right and what's great about that is
when you have the strings that aren't quite up to that value you know with peep rotation just
all kinds of issues string stretch winners choice that you don't have those problems with those
right exactly you have a short shoot in time to where you can say the peep side is ready to go and
you don't have to worry about you know continually working on cable stretch or string rotation that
causes peep rotation and things like that so yeah it's an absolute home run when you're looking at
ultimate value for this for the bow so i had a little bit of time to spend with this bow
nathan uh shooting it yesterday and it's just a nice shooting boat it's that value price
you have to keep reminding yourself that when you're shooting it that this is not that flagship
level it's a nice shooting boat it's got the elite shoot ability you guys always talk about that
no hand shock holds nice you know hits where you want it to just a nice shooting bow the draw cycle
is nice uh you know it's one of those things um sometimes you get these cams that you draw back
and when you get to full draw man it really wants to pull your shoulder forward i don't
like those i like a nice big valley this one has that and like we mentioned that solid back wall
it's just a nice shooting bow right and the nice thing about
uh you touched on it a little bit before is this limb stop that we have here on the cam
some people actually like that feel pj wore it right where it's hard at the back and
you know it takes off quick you can customize this bow to feel how you want it to feel right you can
slide that uh post forward then you're gonna have that more aggressive increase your holding weight
uh reduce that valley all right that is the brand new basin from elite archery for 2022
