Have you shot it? Did YOU like it? I shot one and loved it.. But I can't afford a new bow.

As long as you like the bow, that's all that matters!

I have a Captain in APG. No issues so far. This is a really nice bow, nice machining, very nice finish as well. The Bow is quiet, and shock free as expected.

I haven't shot it much yet. Just got it last week and the weather has been ugly. I'll know more later, but it seems to be a very nice package.

I really like the Captain it is my favorite out of the 09 Bowtechs. It is a very quiet and shock free bow. I like the over all look of bow also. I keep thinking of trading my Guardian for one but haven't dropped the hammer yet. If you haven't shot it yet I suggest you do it's a great bow.

The only issue I have found so far is, you cannot put a QAD Ultra rest on one. The bar that keeps the arrow from falling off hits the side of the riser. Other than that I love mine.

I have shot the following bows in the last two weeks

Both hoyts AM 32 and 35 - the 32 had the least amount of vibration and shock the 32 also had a larger valley both had solid back walls

The Pse DS Xforce - actually pretty smooth, solid back wall, like the 80% let-off

The Pse bow madness - sweet, smooth drawing solid back wall

The captain - whisper quiet, solid and seems like will be a real shooter

Having a tuff time narrowing it down, I prefer a longer Ata so that would eliminate 3 of these bows
Trying to decide between hoyt's toughness factor and the completely shockfree feeling of the Captain

I've got a Captain that I just setup about 2 weeks back. Have been shooting 3D with it.

I love it. Shock/vibration free, good draw cycle, easy to hold on target. Great bow!

I've got one.

Only issue so far is I have no idea how I'm going to turn it loose at the end of '09.
