Elite EnVision: the 2024 hunting flagship and the S.E.T. tuning argument
Elite's 2024 hunting flagship — 31" ATA, 6" brace, 332 FPS IBO, and a riser-based tuning system that didn't require a press. MSRP $1,299 at launch.
The EnVision launched in early 2024 as Elite Archery's hunting flagship. Specs at launch: 31 inches axle-to-axle, 6-inch brace height, 332 FPS IBO, 26-30" draw length, 50-80 lb draw weight, 4.3 lbs mass weight. MSRP $1,299.
The EnVision was Elite's vehicle for promoting S.E.T. (Simplified Exact Tuning) to the hunting market — a riser-based tuning system that adjusts the rest position to correct arrow flight without a bow press.
S.E.T. — the underrated tuning system
S.E.T. moves the arrow rest position via shims at the riser shelf, correcting horizontal and vertical nock travel without touching cams, modules, or strings. For an archer who switches arrow spines, tunes broadheads, or paper-tunes after a string change, S.E.T. cuts the tuning workflow from "press session" to "five-minute hex adjustment."
Elite was three years ahead of Hoyt's XTS and Mathews's LST on press-free tuning at the hunting flagship level. The EnVision was the platform that proved S.E.T. worked under real hunting conditions across hundreds of thousands of arrows.
Speed and geometry
332 FPS at IBO is mid-pack for a 2024 hunting flagship — slower than Bowtech's SR350 (350 FPS) and Mathews's V3X 33 (345 FPS), faster than the Hoyt Carbon RX-8 (334 FPS) by a hair. The geometry — 31" ATA and 6" brace — was the most "balanced" of the 2024 flagships, splitting between Hoyt's longer-and-more-forgiving and the shorter-and-faster category.
Asymmetric cam
The EnVision used Elite's asymmetric SP cam family — the predecessor to SPX2 on the Victra. Asymmetric cams (different upper and lower cam profiles) produce theoretically cleaner nock travel than symmetric cams when paired with appropriate cable design. Whether the difference matters in field shooting is debated; what's certain is Elite's cam family had a reputation for tuning cleanly off the box.
Why hunters bought EnVision
Three reasons that came up consistently in field reports:
- S.E.T. tuning — set up the bow once at the shop, do all subsequent tuning yourself.
- The grip — Elite's grip platform has consistently scored well with archers for low-torque hand placement.
- The price — at $1,299, the EnVision was $200-700 below the carbon competition and broadly competitive with Mathews V3X 33 ($1,499) and Bowtech SR350 ($1,199).
EnVision in 2026
EnVision used: $750-$950 in clean condition. The platform is still well-supported by Elite's warranty department, and the S.E.T. system has held up well in field use over two seasons.
FAQ
EnVision vs Victra (current Elite target)? Different categories — EnVision is hunting, Victra is target. Cams, geometry, and let-off all differ.
Does the S.E.T. on EnVision work the same as on newer Elite bows? Mechanically the same. Elite kept S.E.T. as a platform-wide feature since 2021.
Used EnVision — what to check? Cables and string for wear, S.E.T. screws (verify they turn freely and hold position), grip insert wear.
