Hi, Ok , Im glad i found this because I just about pulled the trigger on a commander and the dealer didnt have one in stock. I shot a guardian and loved the feel but I couldnt get it in a draw length to fit me so Im wondering what the available draw lengths are for the general and the airborne models are. If anyone would happen to know please fill me in. I cant wait to get one. Thanks
General 26" to 30"
Airborne 82 26.5" to 30.5"
Airborne 101 27.5" to 31.5"
Hope that helps Ya

Dan

All current info I have available says 31 1/2" is the longest draw for Center Pivot Bows (Commander) The CP Bows are extremely quiet, and shock free and they still have good speed.
The Airbornes while Quiet and shock free in their own right will Flat set an arrow on Fire
All I can say is shoot them both and decide which is right for you.

Why isn't bow on bowtech's website? Where could I get one? Most of the stores around here haven't heard of the General or think it's not coming out until 2008.

Have you talked to a Bowtech dealer at a Pro Shop?
They'll get you one and probably won't be long about it. They are already in several shops

Most bow manufacturers websites are slow to be updated with new lines. You probably won't see updates until close to the end of this year.

Because they're absolutely SWAMPED taking orders and don't have time to update the site! [8D]

J/K... I'm sure it'll be fairly soon. (but not kidding about the swamped with orders!)

I'll be getting either an Airborne or General. I still can't see how the General can be more shock free than my Gaurdian but Bowtech always surprises me with their technology.

Sounds like another sweet bow from Bowtech. Too short for me, love my Commander.
