Pound for pound, the ELITE Basin defines new standards. - The ELITE Basin was developed to set new standards in its price segment. With a draw weight of up to 70 lbs, the Basin can easily compete with other bows in its class. Like its sister model, the Ember, the Basin does not skimp on its aluminium components.

- Brace height: 6.6875 inches
- Weight: 3.9 lbs / approx. 1769g
- Draw length: 16 inches - 30 inches
- Draw weight: 20-70 lbs
- Let-off: up to 80%
- Speed (IBO): 315 fps / approx. 345 km/h
- Available as right-handed model only.
Dual Caged Riser
Elite was the first company to introduce the Riser Cage - pushing the boundaries of what is possible. A cage integrated into the riser promotes stability and balance by reinforcing the areas of the riser that tend to bend or are subjected to extra stress. The larger cross-section of the cage in the important transition areas not only stiffens the riser as a whole, but also helps to prevent vibrations during firing.
Cam bearing made of stainless steel
The ELITE Basin is equipped with stainless steel cam bearings. Stainless steel is rust and corrosion resistant and, with proper care, will provide worry-free use and a smooth shooting experience for years to come.
Aluminium Cams, Mods & Limb Pockets
The cams, mods and limb pockets of the ELITE Basin are made entirely of aluminium. Nowhere on the Basin has plastic been used - this is one of the reasons why ELITE offers superior quality and shootability in every bow at every price point.
Basin Mod's
The Basin features an adjustable module that easily adjusts to a draw length of 16 to 30 inches, allowing the growing archer to grow along with 1/2-inch increments. ELITE's integrated limb stoppers provide a solid backboard that other bows simply can't match.
Characteristics
Right-handed or left-handed?
Determination of the draw hand
The draw hand is the hand that pulls the string. This means that a right-handed bow is held in the left hand and drawn with the right hand.
Determining your personal draw hand has far less to do with whether you are left-handed or right-handed than you might initially assume. It is much more about determining the dominant eye. The dominant eye is used for aiming. This then automatically results in the draw hand.
The term dominant eye refers to the eye whose visual information is superimposed on everything. If a shooter tried to aim with the other eye, he would have to close the dominant eye.
There are two ways of determining the dominant eye: On the one hand, it is the eye that is generally favoured, for example when looking through the viewfinder of a camera, through the peephole or similar situations. On the other hand, there is a small exercise that can be used to determine the dominant eye beyond doubt:
- The arms are stretched out and a triangle is formed with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands.
- A small target is aimed at through the triangle, for example a socket or a cupboard knob. Focus on this object.
- The hands are now slowly brought towards the face without taking the target object out of focus.
- The triangle of thumb and index fingers will involuntarily tend towards one side of the face and this is where the dominant eye is located.
If the dominance of the eye and hand do not match, the bow should still be selected according to eye dominance. The arms can be easily retrained for the new draw hand, but not the eye.

Notes on delivery time
Please note the following information on the stated and actual delivery time:
You are purchasing an item that we do not have in stock ourselves, but order from a wholesaler for you. As a rule, it will be with us in approx. 5-7 working days and can then be dispatched to you immediately. For this reason, a maximum delivery time of 8-9 working days is displayed in the order form.
However, our shop system cannot display the stock levels of wholesalers and suppliers. Even the wholesaler cannot always have every variation in stock. It may therefore be the case that the item has to be ordered directly from the manufacturer (Asia, America). In this case, the delivery time can be extended to up to 12 weeks. In special cases, the item will be made for you and may have an even longer waiting time.
After finalising your order and checking the availability of your items, you will receive information from us with a more precise delivery time. If possible, we will also offer you alternatives that can be delivered more quickly.
Thank you for your understanding.
