I shot Mathews for years......until I shot an E35. The Chill X is one of the best bows Mathews has put out in years, but for me the E35 felt better and shot better. The E35 has a smoother and more even draw cycle than the X, with no valleys or large humps to deal with—it's just a smooth constant pull. A 70# pull feels like a 60# pull. The E-series is also better balanced than the X that has the typical top-heavy Mathews feel. The back wall of the E-series is just amazing, even compared to the X with the Rock mods. As far as speed, the E-series is comparable to the X. The shot cycle for me was slightly better with the Elite—it was completely dead in my hands and acted like it was counter-balanced. The only thing I didn't like about the Elites was the grip. It is completely different from what I was used to, but once I made a few adjustments and got comfortable with it I question how I ever shot that huge grip of the Mathews. For the first time in 30+ years of archery, I have finally found a bow that gives me 100% of what I've wanted—I own both the E32 and the E35 and they are actually fun to shoot, like a toy almost...lol.
