What's the major difference between the Elite and Ultra Lite Elite, other than the Ultra Lite is half the price?
I want to try one, but just for backyard practice and hunting. Why should I spend twice as much for one? What benefits are there?
I believe the Elite has a cordovan facing and aluminum and the Ultra Lite uses Super leather with composite.
I own them both. Both do exactly the same thing, with the aluminum UltraLite Elite being heavier, and able to replace the leather/backing of the tab by unscrewing the aluminum pieces. The UltraElite also has a thumbshelf that's removable, both have an antifinger pinch piece that's removable.
Out of the two, I use the standard more than the Elite. Both are outstanding tabs, I'd definately buy another standard if I misplaced either.
I've had both tabs and prefer the Elite by a large margin. The Cordovan facing is far superior to the super leather, in my opinion. I used the standard for a long time and the super leather ended up getting a rubbery, sticky feel to it. The cordovan face of my Elite gets more comfortable, not to mention slicker and slicker the more I shoot it. I would spend the money and go with the Elite roght off the bat if I had it to do all over again.
Cool, thanks.
I have both and for the difference I will buy the standard from now on. I also had the screws work loose in the Elite...little bitty screws!
Make mine Cordovan !
I have shot both and owned the Elite. I liked it better than the standard, but I couldn't ever get comfortable with it and gave it away. Back to a Saunders for me.
Cordovan leather all the way here. It will be worth the difference in the long run, as long as you don't loose the tab.

Yep,Cordovan and order some extra screws.I noticed after shooting crappy in a match that I only had 2 screws left.I used superglue on the new screws.
You had a bad day on the course because of a few loose screws? :biglaugh:
Wish someone would make a tire from cordovan leather--can't wear the stuff out.

More than one person has said that LBR! ;) I would have been disappointed if someone hadn't jumped on that!
Yea,I knew Chad would have something to say about that when I posted it.
