I have shot both bows 5-6 times each and I am trying to decide which I like better. I am comparing them to my Guardian which I really,really like. I don't know if I will trade for one or not I have to shoot them more. For the guys that have shot them which one do you like best?
The Admiral is definitely a bit lighter and more maneuverable in a treestand or ground blind, but the Captain may be a touch "deader" at the shot. I haven't yet shot them one right after the other, as my Admiral is out in my Jeep as I've been hunting almost every day, and my Captain is hanging in my shop. I've been shooting it across the basement mostly.
The admiral is nimble, and light and is "dead" enuff in the hands. The captain will/should be a little more stable though. The captain is heavier and i think its heavy in an awkward place. Its top heavy and you can feel it while drawn. The admiral is a tad more balanced at the draw. Its all what you want man, it really is. Speed,quietness,hand shock, and almost all of the other ergos are basically the exact same. I personally liked the "feel" of the admiral a touch better, but i like a longer bow.
Forgot to add, the captains draw isnoticeably smoother than the admirals as well.

Thanks guys for your responses I am just curious what other people think about these bows. I must say that Bowtech/Diamond make some awesome bows. I look forward to shooting these bows alot more before I make a decision.

You're right!! They never make the decision an easy one.
Admiral vs Captain!
