Elite Omnia is it rubbish?

  • A customer purchased the Elite Omnia and said the cables touch the cams and I can't get the bow to tune - I want my money back. We look at the Elite Omnia and see if the cables touch the cams and if they do how to we adjust it so they dont. We discuss other bow brands where the cables touch the cams.
    We then take the Omnia to the range to see if we can paper tune the bow.
    before giving our final assessment of the latest bow compound bow from Elite Archery.

    Look I’ve watched and enjoyed many of your videos.
    Because I had this same issue with my Omnia, I watched your video.
    I returned mine as well, I believe Elite just screwed up my bow. It happens we’re human, sadly it was my first elite and it scared me away from them after they said/ oh just swap the limbs!
    The fact that you consider the horrible tear in that paper to be ok, it questions everything that you consider to be ok in tuning a bow.
    If I can’t shoot perfect bullets and perfect at 20 with no fletching, I’m not tuned.
    Maybe for a target bow it’s fine but you aren’t shooting broadheads with that tear!
    I was able to get a decent bare shaft at 20 with my Omnia but the rest was soooo far left it looked ridiculous and the cams were so leaned over like his. Not to mention the SET bolts would break just getting it that far.
    Please explain your acceptance of these tears with regards to tuning!
    Cheers

    If a shop showed me that tear with a fletched field point and said that was pretty much tuned and they would shoot it like that … I’d find another shop. It’s a hunting bow. A fixed blade broadhead would be 8”+ off at 40 yards.

    I tune all my bows to a 1/4 high/ left tear to start. Learned that from a pro archer years ago. He said same as you that it gives it direction the same every shot. After walk back tuning the rest I leave it be. Don’t even put it on paper again because the tear doesn’t matter. If its putting them all on the vertical its perfect. I have an Elite Remedy with set technology and was disappointed. Never had to use it. Shot perfect out of the box. Man I really wanted to turn on some screws to see it work. Well maybe next time. Your looking more like yourself each video. Keep up the great work. No more rubbish bows.

    • @jamesshepherd7727
      @jamesshepherd7727 Год назад +2

      Any input you make during the shot can move the arrow. On a bow tuned with s perfect bullet hole that movement can be left or right or up or down. It can literally go any direction. If you tune with a small amount or tear the arrow will always go that direction. Like if you balance a pencil straight up and let go it can fall any direction. But if you lean it one way a bit it will fall that way every single time. Lean it less it still goes there. Lean it more it still goes there. None of my bows shoot bullet holes once they are distance tuned. Once you get the most forgiveness in your bow go put it through paper. It definitely wont shoot bullet holes. Just try it and see. This fall tuned my friends Mathews to a bullet hole. He thought his broadheads would fly better. His field points and broadheads were 4 inches apart at 20 yards. Tuned his bow to get both hitting in the dot out to 60 yards. Through paper with that tune it had 3/8 left tear. The paper just gets you in the ballpark. Walk back tuning and distance group tuning is the final say.

    I was shooting a Hoyt Prevail SVX and changed to an Elite Verdict a few month ago after watching all the Flag Ship model reviews on this channel. I live in Sydney and therefore ordered it online from you. I love the bow but it took me a while to tune if perfectly because It has so many adjustment options. I blame the lengthy tuning process on my knowledge and skill in tuning and not on the bow. An experienced person could have most likely achieved the same result in a tiny fraction of the time it took me. After spending hours upon hours getting it right I can truly say now that I can adjust the bow on the fly with just a set of Allen keys so it was worth the time I spend on learning how to tune the bow. Bonus: No bow press needed. Hoyt Bows are great, aggressive, high quality bows but Elite is soooo User Friendly and easy to shot. Also the customer service and the speed the order was processed in was incredible and very much appreciated. You should be able to enjoy your eggs for breakfast, you deserve it.

    I had an Elite Kure with the same issue. I bought it second hand with factory installed strings, and I received a pack of new Soloflex strings with it too. My first thing to do was to make the used factory strings replaced with the new. My bow tech friend did it for me. What we noticed is the serving was a little bit different on the Soloflex but not much.
    I struggled almost half a year to get that Kure tuned but did not succeed.
    I was told "it's you, not the bow"..."it's the spine, not the bow".
    When everything was centered, cams, roller guard, arrow rest, I had a massive tear on paper. I could shoot almost a bullet hole when I adjusted the rest far left. Not good.
    I've tried to tune, to compensate also with the rollerguard. Was a bit better, but then I had such a small vane clearence that I had to switch from Blazers to a smaller profile vane set.
    And of course I could compensate/tune with the SET technology. But every time when tuning seemed to be okay, I shot a bullet hole, the top cam was always touching the cable.
    All in all by the time I could find a setup when paper tuning was okay and broadheads flew well, the bow had an extreme setup. Extreme cam lean, extreme rollerguard-setting, extreme rest-setting. Not to mention that its forgiveness became a nightmare. A little bit of shooting error caused immediate missing, bad flying broadheads.
    Two bow tech friends had checked my bow but could not solve the problem, so finally I've sold my Kure. I believed that its me, not the bow. The new owner made the strings swapped to a new set, and it turned out that my Soloflex set had massively different sizes. I don't know how. But that was the problem with the bow that nobody noticed.
    Now the new owner is happy with the Kure, and I am happy with my new Bowtech Solution.

    Not to be the one to rain on the parade, but I have owned 2 Omnias. The first tuned in a snap. I tuned this bow myself at the shop I bought it from. Literally took less than 5 minutes. A couple of weeks later a guy wanted to buy it and I let him. I bought a second, and it was a nightmare. I don't currently own a press, so I took it to the best shop in town. $70 later and the SET maxed out my arrow rest was so far left of center my Spot Hogg ran out of travel before getting it zeroed.
    This Omnia needed the limb orientation changed to correct the issue. I wasn't investing more in a tune as i was disgusted with the bow. I traded it in the next morning.
    Like you, I have been shooting for more than 4 decades, and have been a tech for about 30 years. I would not have found the tear you ended your video with acceptable. A clean bullet hole is what is acceptable. You should have completed the tuning on camera so we could see what it took.
    Some of the early Omnias shipped this way. Take a stroll through AT and it can be pretty easily discovered.
    I am not downing you or Elite. I like Elite bows and your content. Things happen when people are assembling things.

      I am getting the impression the P/O of my Omnia sold it for a reason. I had a pro shop paper tune it, got dialed in with field tips, but when I attempted tuning broadheads they would cork screw and hit all over. Paid a second shop to tune it. Again, field tips dialed in, broadheads just cork screw. I then did research and noticed both cams rubbed the cable. At full draw both cams are cock eyed as all get out. The LTR is dialed farrrr right to clear the arrow fletchings. I am a bow newb and I am absolutely frustrated at this supposed flag ship bow. What now? Pay more money to a shop? Sell this for a loss? I don't know.

    You should get the Spot Hogg Laser Cam Alignment Tool. At full draw, you place it alongside one cam with the laser pointed towards the other cam. You do this for both cams, and make adjustments until both cams are pointed towards each other at full draw with the laser dot in the middle of the string track. I use it to adjust Bowtech's Deadlock system while at full draw, got cams to point towards each other, and boom, perfect bullethole through the paper. You may need to remove the string stop first or it might block the laser beam.

      With mine, bottom was worse. Top was clearing, bottom rubbed hard. The left limb (right handed) was quite a ways stiffer and pulled the cam into the cable.

I go for a perfect bullet hole and work from there with broadheads.

    Is paper tuning critical to shooting a consistent group?

    • @liamboyle9199
      @liamboyle9199 Год назад +2

      From a normal shooting perspective...
      Negative, don't believe anyone who says you need a tune ("French tune" / centreshot is of course very important for accuracy at all ranges).
      The system will launch the bow quite consistently.
      Is there a sweet spot? Yes, and people like Tim G and Paige P go on about it a lot. If I had to quantify the gain in going all out, it might be 5% at most? But higher end tuning techniques are useless if you don't have the shooting foundation.
      From a hunting perspective, yes tune does matter and even more so with full on broad heads.
      Typically if you build a bow up in a logical manner you're sorted🙂

    Interesting to catch this one, just watched a Sean's outdoors tour of the elite factory, this was 5 years old, but the interesting point is that the V.P OPS, commented that all bows were checked for everything especially cam lean, if that was found the bow would not leave the factory ??. Also interesting was the elite shirt was highlighting the outdoors group owned elite. Didn't they just purchase PSE.

    First, not sure why you would take the bow back if not one you sold him. He should be discussing returning to the seller. Might be different if you are only excepting of behalf of the manufacturer thus causing no financial loss on your behalf.
    Regarding the end result tear. The system is designed to remove even the last tear through paper. It is not a tear I would be satisfied with. It would be fair to see cam cable clearance once a true good tear is made.

    Are you going to do a part two where you re tune it properly and still have cable clearance? I own an Elite. It's paper, walk back and bare shaft tuned perfectly. The SET system is great. But I wouldn't be happy with that paper tune to start with. And I'd want to see a walk back and bare shaft tune before I'd be happy with it. A little tail high is acceptable, but the horizontal tear wasn't brilliant. You probably need to re do this video to prove it can be tuned properly and have cable clearance, otherwise it's just putting more doubt into customers minds.
