The new Elite 5 Color Guard Rifle is a hybrid of the Director's Showcase (DSI) popular Elite 3 (36″) and Elite 4 (39″) rifles. The Elite 5 gives you the presence of a larger rifle on the field while the slightly smaller and lighter weight allows performers of any size and strength to give a great toss. The Elite 5 weighs approximately 2.3lbs. to 2.5lbs. so it is perfectly weighted for all types of performers.
