- This is a review on the Elite Ritual Compound bow. I shot the Elite Ritual in this review at 70 lbs 30 inch draw with a 350, 450, and 550 grain arrow. I also shoot this Elite Ritual compound bow at 65 lbs and 30 inch draw at 325, 425, and 525 grains. I even shoot this Elite Ritual at 60lbs and 30 inch draw with a 300 grain arrow.

Great reviews again. I'm a big Elite fan. I own an impulse 31, and absolutely love it. Ive watched all of your Elite reviews. Thanks again!!
Thanks, John. I appreciate it. God bless you.
after watching the factory tour
then this
my heart do move toward elite
but when you live far away from U.S
what you can do are watching, learning and feel the awasomeness from other people perspective
thank sean
great video 👍
Thanks for sharing. Sorry you are so far away. God bless you.
I cant wait to shoot this new Elite bow. Thanks for posting this!!!
We can see if they will have any to shoot at the outdoor show on Saturday.
Sean i love this channel man. Keep up the great videos 👍👍👍
Thanks so much, Jeremy. I'm both happy and humbled that you'd say that! God bless ya!
Nice review brother 👍 as usual. Can't wait to see the echelon review!!!
Thanks, Jarod. I'll be uploading that review soon! God bless you
Got my Ritual last night and I LOVE IT!
Awesome. Enjoy.
You still love the bow!
Op never mind I found the review Sean. lol I think what you are talking about is the limb stops on the elite vs the xpedition. The x does slam into the wall. The cam design on the ritual and my synergy are softer and like you said. " it just stays there" after release. That's why I've stuck with my synergy at this point. I sold my xpedition bows. But I really want to take a good hour to really compare the ritual with the synergy. Just by shooting it a few times, I think man, it's just in my budget to stay for now. Love the reviews. God Bless brother
I thought the synergy was a great bow too. I almost bought one after I first shot one but couldn't afford it at the time, lol.
Good stuff, please do the tuning video for the Ritual
We ran out of time while I was there so we didn't get to film it. Sorry.
I like the honest discussion about the struggle over which reading to use. With the "blip" reading you used it gave an ibo of 327, and this particular bow coming in well under the claimed ibo rating has become a hot topic on the internet. If you calculate your numbers based on the 68# it "rode" at in the cycle, the ibo comes out at 331 with no peep and a 10grn string loop. That's a respectable number. I've had my Ritual for less than a week and even with a shoulder injury that forced me to turn my Impulse down to 63# I'm shooting my Ritual at 73#. The draw cycle is that much smoother and it results in an overall gain in arrow speed despite the lower ibo rating.
Thank you.
Do you shoot your ritual still and how do you like it.do you feel it's one of your favorite bows
@@joc6117 I'm not sure if you are asking me or the person who commented on this video, but I never owned a Ritual.
@@seansoutdoors hi Sean.how do you rate.the ritual compared to the v x r ..what bow would you actually choose and why.
@@joc6117 If I had the money in my hand and had to buy one or the other, I would get the VXR. The reason is that the Ritual is last year's model and the VXR is this year's model. Both bows are really nice. If I had to pick between the VXR and the Kure, I would buy the Kure because of the new technology they developed for tuning.
Sean gives the best bow reviews for inquiring minds on Utube....................hope he can talk Elite into making this bow at 34.50 ATA and 6.75 brace. And please review the Bowtech BT Mag ( not the long draw version )----Iot's of guys that should know think it's the sleeper bow of the decade.
Thanks Steve. As far as the BowTech, I'm limited on what the local shop will be carrying of BowTech this year. Whatever they have, I will review. God bless ya.
I wish Bowtech would front you one for a review. If you search the forums and Utube it's like these bows don't exist and.....yet some of the cool kids admit they got them but refuse to tell why..........like they are trying to keep a good thing to themselves.
Lol, that'd be cool. I wish they would too, lol. I emailed all the companies, including my contact at BowTech, and Elite invited me out. BowTech just told me to go to the local dealer and shoot their bows. As a result, I'm at the mercy of what the local dealer has, and right now, I think they only have one BowTech in stock because it is just that time of year where manufacturers are trying to get bows out to dealers and everyone wants them and few have them in stock... So, who knows. Might be a little while before I get my hands on any new BowTechs. We shall see. God bless ya and thanks for watching.
Been waiting for this one...looks pretty sweet! The Outdoor Group appears to be a real quality company...wonder if they’re hiring! 😉Sounds like you have a cold there, my friend! Hope it’s a short one. 🤒
Yes, I came down with a cold as of yesterday. I'm feeling pretty awful today, but I'm about to do the live show announcing the Map Reading Challenge winners in a few minutes so I need to push on through. And, yes, the Outdoor Group seemed like a great group of people and they really were awesome to work with. Hats off to them for that. God bless ya.
Great review as always. I have bum shoulder and need new bow. The lighter limb 60# looks great. Are there any others you think would work better for me? Hunting elk
If you want to save a little money look at their newer Ember. It's max weight is 60 but is a really nice bow and a good price.
Another great review, I have a question on string stops,what after market would you recommend and are they better than factory? Thanks
Not sure on that one. Sorry.
Hey Sean, I was curious. Which bow is your favorite from the 2017 flagship bows? As always, great review on this bow. This bow is on the list to look at for sure now.
Well, when I reviewed the bows, I went with the BowTech Reign. However, I admit that while I was hunting in an ice/snow storm with one this winter I was afraid to pick the bow up and draw it back because of all the past limb problems they had with breaking. The fact that I was bothered by that and afraid to draw the bow made me realize I'd rather change bows because even if it wasn't going to brake, I'd rather not have those kinds of doubts in my mind while hunting. I'd rather be able to stay focused on the hunt. Other bows I liked a lot last year were the the Elite Option series and the Xpedition Xcursion series. Matthews Halon was nice but the back wall isn't firm enough for my taste. I'd say those were my other top favorites.
I gotcha. Is there a 2018 flagship bow that you like better than the Bowtech Reign or do you like the Reign, overall, more than the 2018 bows?
I still have a lot of bows to shoot. My two favorite so far are the Ritual and APA but the APA comes off the back wall too easily. I shot a Martin Prototype at the Great American Outdoor show that seemed pretty nice, but until they finish it and get it on the market it's hard to say. But, as I said, I still have a lot of bows I need to shoot to see where they all stand in my preferences.
Yea, these videos are good. Definitely entertaining lol.
Glad you thinks so. God bless ya
Good review. If l’m not mistaken, Droptine Archery in Allenwood has a BT Mag if you’re interested in testing one.
I'm going to Millers Gun Shop tomorrow and will see what they have available and will ask what they are getting in and when they are getting it in. I'll take it from there. Thanks. God bless ya.
I just left Miller’s. They have a BT Mag. I shot the new Bear Kuma there tonight. IMO very, very impressive for the money. Thanks Sean, keep up the fantastic reviews.
I'll be there tomorrow shooting it as well as whatever other bows they have on hand. I saw the BowTech when I was in there last week scheduling my review, but you never know when someone is going to walk in and buy a bow so I never count it in until I'm there and shooting it. Thanks Jeff. God bless ya.
Out of the Option 6 or 7 and the Ritual, which of those bows do you prefer? It seems the ritual is a bit slower and only a couple decibels quieter than the option 6, but as far as the draw cycle and everything else involved which bow would you choose and why?
I think I would go with the Ritual just because it is a newer bow. They are both really nice bows. I think you would be in good shape with either bow as they are both nice. But, for me, I would probably choose the Ritual just because it is newer technology.
I know we are old school xpedition shooters Sean. What bow are you shooting this season? I still have both. I really like my synergy and x7. I thought about a carbon bow this year but after your review of the rx1 , I stayed in my comfort zone.
I would like to be shooting an Xpedition right now, but am still shooting a BowTech Reign 7 on comfort setting. My current plan is to change after this season, but I couldn't afford to buy a different bow this year.
Did I get a notice for the Live stream? Hmmm, is it available as a video? Thanks!
I see you commented on the live video after it posted, so I'm guessing you don't need the link. In case anyone else missed it and is reading this post right now and would like to see it, here is the link. God bless ya ruclips.net/video/Dk2Dj3-xkj4/видео.html
I have a question, a local shop has last year bows on sale. I have a 29" draw. Which bow, 30" or 33" ritual
That comes down to personal preference. Longer ata is traditionally believed to be more stable and forgiving but the shorter ata more maneuverable in tight hunting situations. I personally like longer ata but I also have almost a 32 inch draw. At the end of the day, both are really nice and should serve your purposes.
Were is the link of your tour of the factory? I had to change my power supply cord before seeing all the way .

Efficiency is a machine nice..
amen brother. Thanks for watching.
Sean you didn't say anything about the shit finish on the picture I send you of my bow .so you say this is a honest review which it is not if anybody got any sense the would look at the finish of these bows and its taking me over a month to try to get a answer from costumer service which is SHIT and your warranty means nothing .because they are not going to do anything about it .wen they had photos and everything they needed about the bow and the cam sticking and that's is a tru .god bless you Sean .Sean they much have give you the best ones out .
Micky, I sent the pictures you sent me right to the Elite people. They told me they were already in contact with you regarding the issue. I didn't see any issues on any of the finishes of the bows I handled, nor have I ever seen any issues with the finish on Elite bows I've handled over the years. I'm sorry that you are having a bad experience. I have not handled any bows with a bad finish so I couldn't report that, because it hasn't happened so far. I also have not owned an Elite so I haven't had to deal with them on warranty, but everyone else I've talked to has had a positive outcome. I tried to help you get the issue resolved by sending the information right to them. If they are not helping you then I'm sorry, but there really isn't much else I can do for you. Your statement has been noted here and the public can now see that, so I hope you are satisfied to that extent. God bless you
Is that color outdoor hardwood brown or rhinodize copper flame?
I’m not sure but I think the copper
@@seansoutdoors the hardwood brown is paint, the copper is anodized, it looks anodized in the video to me, but it's hard to be sure... thanks for the reply, awesome review as always.
@@toadamine Thanks, yeah, it had a really nice finish.
70# 350 gr arrow 327 fps.
60# 350 gr arrow 328 fps.
That is pretty hard to believe. I know you’re not bs’n so what do you think could cause these readings? Also, gaining speed from 70-65# in some cases here. I have never seen that before. Great vid buddy
The 60# bow was shot with a 300 grain arrow, not a 350 grain arrow.
Ummm.... that explains that haha. Sorry about that
No problem. Thanks for watching. God bless ya
Also, the 300 grain arrows were provided by them, so I didn't have a way to weigh them. That said, there could have been some variance between their scale and my scale. My 350 grain arrows may have weighed a little differently on their scale, and their 300 grain arrows may have weighed a little differently on my scale. So, that could have caused a little variation in the readings.
You ever going to test the obsession fixation 6xp
I have been trying to contact Obsession dealers, even ones very far from me, and so far I am coming up short. I think there is one almost 3 hours away that will possibly let me do some Obsession reviews, but I can't get that much time with travel to do it yet.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures The only thing that I'm am concerned about with the obsession in the cable slide for that price point where all the other brands go to roller.
I haven't seen one yet since no one carries them in my area.
I will probably wait tell you or archery talk review the bow since you 2 are the least bias towards what it the good bad and the ugly of the bow you are reviewing.
Okay, so take away the fear of the bowtech limb problems, which bow do you think is the better all around bow (Noise, Vibration, Feel, Weight)? Bowtech Reign or Elite Ritual?
I'm someone who likes to tinker with my bows. I do like being able to play with cam lean in the tuning, which you can do with a BowTech and can't do as easily with Elite. With an elite you have to take the cams off and shim them if you are adjusting for cam lean to tune the bow to you, and that is a little more work than just popping the yoke off and adjusting the lean. Both are great bows, and I would be happy shooting either, but I do like to tinker.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures so not really enough difference in feel, noise, weight or shoot ability to say one better than the other? I’m leaning towards the reign 6 but will be shooting both to make sure before I make the purchase. Thanks for fast response
Yeah, I would personally be happy shooting either. It is a really tough call. They are both very nice bows, both very quiet and both have a solid back wall. Both also stay on the back wall very well (well if you are in the comfort setting of the bowtech, which is what I leave mine on). If you are on the performance setting of the BowTech, you will get more speed, but then it comes off the back wall much easier and doesn't have that smooth feel any more. It is still quiet when it goes off and has no hand shock, but it is quite a different feel. So, when I compare the two, I am comparing the bowtech on the comfort setting.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures I’ve got to get my hands on both of them & go from there. I think I’ve got it narrowed down to those two anyways. Thanks for input. Keep the great videos coming
Another bow that doesn’t meet IBO.
I've never shot a bow that reached the advertised speed, but in this video I mention some of the reasons why my readings may not reach their readings. Even still, some brands get closer to advertised speed than other brands.
Here’s a list of bows a have and had that won’t meet ibo.
1. Pse decree hd 12 FPS under
2. Bowtech insanity 6 fps under
3. Bear motive 6 8 FPS under
4. Elite Option 6 4 FPS over
5. Elite Synergy 5 FPS under still my hunting bow I not part with it until I buy a ritual.
6. Mathews halon 32 10 FPS under
7. Mathews chill r 3 FPS over
8. Hoyt defiant 34 15 FPS under
I Have about ten others almost all the bows I had didn’t make ibo, but the ritual is a smooth hunting bow not a speed bow. I was more unhappy when I bought a speed bow with a harsh draw and a huge hump with no valley and still not making ibo. And don’t even get me started on crossbow ibo’s. the guy that did the speed testing on some of my crossbows was either blind or on meth.
Thanks for sharing, my findings have revealed the same basic information. And, lol, on the crossbow guy. God bless ya.
I have never seen one hit ibo... ever. I don’t think it will ever happen unfortunately
Now I can see how you do your reviews because wen people wright things you don't like you just have it take of .you leave it on wen its a good review for you.and take it of if someone doesn't agree with what you say. People should know the truth.how much you do get paid for leaving the truth out.
I'm not sure what you are talking about, but I think it is unfortunate that you are misjudging me and posting bogus statements like this. I don't get paid anything, and I haven't left the truth out. I hope you stop posting false comments like this. God bless you.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures keep on keeping on. God Bless!
