Default Bowtech??

Does anyone know the weight of the 08 general and 82nd airbourne? Is the 82nd more of a hunting or 3d bow or both? And is the only difference in the 101st and 82nd brace height? Any info on the guardian would be great as well. Going to shoot them this week and just wanted to know in advance.

Thanks

Can't help you with the weights.....but I'm sure it's on the Bowtech site.

I HOPE the 82nd is a good all around bow. I bought it to shoot 3D/targets AND hunt with it. As far as I know....ONLY difference is the BH (I think they're on the same riser).

Info on the Guardian???? Faster than the General.....longer ATA (compared to the Gen.). Very dead in your hand on the shot. I bought my son one.....but I haven't really shot it much. He loves it.

I would consider the 82 a very capable hunting bow, but I am sure many will shoot 3D with it. The General weighs 4.7# while the Airborne 82 weighs 4.2# The 82 has shorter limbs than the 101 hence the shorter BH

Whoops forgot you wanted info about the Guardian. It weighs 4.2# and has a BH of 7 1/8" the A to A is 33 3/4" It is a very nice bow and actually became my favorite to pack in the woods this past season.

Thanks for all the info!! I went to the Bowtech site but could not find the weights. Anyways, maybe the General is my best option. Right now I have the Vectrix and I am looking for something a little lighter. Thanks again!
