Elite Archery’s 2025 lineup includes the Artus, a hunting-focused compound bow built with a goal of delivering stability, tunability, and consistency for bowhunters in a variety of environments. Designed around Elite’s recognizable modular system and the SP Cam platform, the Artus aims to give shooters a customizable draw cycle with adjustable let-off and draw length without the need for a press or cam swap.
At 33 inches axle-to-axle, the Artus sits in a middle ground for maneuverability. It’s compact enough for tight blinds or treestands, while offering a longer riser relative to overall length for added stability at full draw. The riser features Elite’s Bridgelock design to reduce flex and vibration, paired with a wide limb stance to help with balance and reduce torque. The bow has a 6.75-inch brace height, which is often a compromise between forgiveness and speed.
The Artus is rated at up to 340 feet per second IBO. Like other bows in Elite’s line, it uses the SP Cam system that allows draw length adjustments in half-inch increments across a wide range (24.5–30 inches), with let-off settings from 70% to 90%. This level of micro-adjustability is meant to help archers fine-tune their hold and back wall feel.
One of the notable features of the Artus is the S.E.T. Technology (Simplified Exact Tuning), which allows lateral adjustments at the limb pocket. This system is designed to make paper tuning or broadhead tuning more accessible to archers who want to dial in arrow flight themselves. Instead of shimming cams or twisting cables, the user turns an Allen bolt to micro-adjust cam lean.
The Artus weighs 4.6 pounds bare bow, putting it in a typical range for modern aluminum hunting bows. It comes with Elite’s V2 Micro Mod system for the SP Cam, and factory-installed dampeners aim to reduce felt vibration and noise.
Finish options on the Artus include solid colors and camo patterns such as Mossy Oak Bottomland, Kuiu Verde 2.0, Realtree Edge, and Elite’s Mountain Tan. The bow also features Elite’s 1/4-inch axles with bearings designed for smoother draw and reduced maintenance, as well as a two-piece limb pocket system for added alignment stability.
Elite Archery markets the Artus as a hunting bow designed to balance accuracy and tunability without compromising on speed or shootability. While it offers features that will appeal to DIY bow tuners and those who want to experiment with setup, its modular system also makes it accessible to those who prefer a set-and-forget approach after initial fitting.
For archers who prioritize tuning options, stable geometry in a manageable overall length, and a customizable feel at full draw, the Artus provides a modern platform with features Elite has refined over multiple generations of cam systems and riser designs.
