Aren't the newer models suppose to have equal or greater IBO's? What's the dealBowtech experts? I Like the Bowtech's, but why give up the speeds in 2009?

Equal to or greater than the IBO speeds Bowtech records at their factory, yes. Not equal to or greater than the IBO speeds set by other companies for their specific bows, if thats what you're thinking.

I mean that they should improve their own IBO speeds from their last year models. If the Guardian was putting out 329 fps., I would think they would try to improve the Captain to 329+ for 2009 if it is basically the same model.
I do like the new models with the rollers and In Velvet standard. Still thinking about the Admiral but I starting looking at Mathews today????

It isn't basically the same model though, thats the thing. It is a completely different animal.
While I enjoy speed bows, I don't understand the infatuation with constantly striving for more and more speed, year after year. In fact, I'm glad Bowtech didn't try and push the speed envelope this year, but rather focused more on making a more forgiving and quiet bow.
To each his own, I suppose.

I understand that...I'd appreciate an even quieter and smoother bow with the same speeds, but I do like higher speeds as well. The Admiral is still at the top of my "new bow" list for January but I keep my options open. I am not commited to one brand.
(...I almost feel like selling out if I got a Mathews. LOL)

I am a "Mathews" guy....go ahead and buy the Reezen, might want to save up for shoulder replacement later in life. That bow is extremly harsh to pull back, no valley whatsoever, and don't you dare get arm fatigue and start "creeping", because there's ZERO room for that. By far the worst bow out there IMO...by any brand.
Bowtechs slower IBO's?!
LOL)
